Outnumbered and Overjoyed

Ruby is crazy easy-going. She does not fuss often, unless she's absolutely exhausted, and she's only given really 'bad' crie...

It's been a while since I've posted about Ruby's therapy. She is still rocking and rolling through one-on-one physical therapy o...

So I found an awesome hat for Ruby on etsy a few weeks ago. This girl already looks like a real life doll, but this just makes it over th...

We participate in Operation Christmas Child every year. Eli and Maddux have helped me fill shoebox sized totes every November for as long as...
