This Past Week-end

It feels like forever since I’ve posted!  I’ve missed you all!  Seriously. It has been some of the most eventful days in a row for us on so many levels.   And for those who think our lives are pretty near perfect, read on…..you’ll be comforted knowing that we have our share of struggles!  Sometimes…

A Ruby Spotting!!

We were pretty giddy over here when I received a text the other day  from our friend Kimmy telling me that her husband Bruce had been at the check-out of their local Circle K  {a convenience store}  here in the Phoenix area and found our littlest treasure on the United Cerebral Palsy fundraising display!! Oh…

Meriam Has Been Rescued!!

AP Photo/Riccardo De Luca  Fox news and other major news sources  are reporting – Meriam Ibrahim and family  are no longer in Sudan but have been flown to Italy! I cannot stop the tears!! The prayers heard from around the world  have been answered!! Praise the Powerful Name of the Lord!! Even when hope looked slim,…

It’s Ruby’s Miracle Day!!

Today is a really big day in our home!! Our littlest princess is 4!!   To celebrate such a joyous, miraculous occasion, we just have to take a trip down Memory Lane because,  for starters,  so many weren’t part of Ruby’s miracle journey and no doubt, others don’t really remember…. Then of course,  perhaps,  there are some…

“Visiting”

I remember landing in Phoenix after being gone 7.5 weeks  to bring Ruby home. I could not wait to see that handsome husband of mine  and our children! Of course, the time at the airport was brief as Ruby was so medically fragile and so after dropping our treasures at our friend Stuart’s home Dw…

The other morning I was out walking, just sweet Ruby-girl and mommy. We have a couple mile loop we do…and every little bit I stop and give her a bite of her oatmeal and we get back at it.  We talk, we pray, we sing, we [literally] stop to smell the flowers…. and if her…

The Little Enormous Things

True confession: Telling Ruby stories are some of my favorite stories ever to tell. To think that some medical professionals really, truly thought that her  life would amount to sitting propped in a corner, unable to interact in  any way, no facial expressions, no progress of any kind…just sit. Seems pretty incredulous to the rest of us,…

She Did It!

As our hearts still celebrate the resurrection day… wanna hear some news worth a  continual party?  So the other day Ruby was at therapy where both her OT and PT were doing a session together.   Artemis and Valerie are good friends which makes it even more fun. Together they talked and decided it was…

One Missing Paper

The freshest of stories… and oh-so-wonderful to see God’s hand  up close and personal, always at work in our lives… Because although God never changes and His promises are the same yesterday, today and forever, somehow we so easily forget that part. But really, if He worked miracles 2,000 years ago… Why is it we…
