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…

Ruby’s Miraculous Debut…

Well that girl of ours,  who has stolen everyone’s heart,  has been up to something quite miraculous!! Actually the first time Ruby did this {which was way back in early April} I literally almost fell over…. and I could not stop between giggling and crying,  all the while worshipping the Lord!! But try as I might, …

She’s Up Again!

As some of you may remember, little miss Ruby was learning to raise herself up on her elbows while on her tummy. She would roll and prop herself up on and we would  clap and squeal and celebrate every single time! Then one day she just stopped. We weren’t sure what was going on. We…

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…

I’m even quite certain there are some who wonder how could we love  someone with so many needs? Yes, I know, without a doubt,   people have…

Still Bouncing….

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…
