Almost

Almost have 1/2 the boxes unpacked.
Almost feels settled. 

Almost Christmas.
Almost have internet in our new home
{later today}.
And the sweetest little teeny-tiny Ugandan princess
{who happens to be 18 months old today!}
 is almost rolling over on her own.  
Almost.

    (Could you please pray for me? I had major oral surgery today (bone removal and bone graft within 1 inch of my eye) and I'm hurting quite a bit. Thank you for a few prayers!)

  6. I like all your "almosts" but there is at least one great big one that's beyond "almost". Ruby Grace is beyond almost beautiful; beyond almost filled out and plumping up; beyond almost an amazing gift from God! And I am beyond almost in love with this precious little girl! Happy 18-month birthday, Ruby.
    Thanks for sharing, Linny! Glad y'all are in your new home and settling in before Christmas! God bless you all.

  7. She is gorgeous! Can't believe those chubby baby things! You can tell she has gotten a lot of loving in the past few months! Praising God for this little bit's forever family!

  8. WOW – when I think back on that first picture of Ruby Grace and then look at her now – truly a miracle! I'm in Durango – you are not. I am 100% behind you – but,boy, do I miss knowing that I will see you tomorrow at the River. Love you, friend.

Just think had God not CHOSSEN you guys to rescue her … never mind dont think about that PRAISE GOD for HIS CHOOSING to rescue Ruby Grace and having your family in all the right places at all the right times.
