We all can't stop holding, kissing and loving on baby Ruby. Between all her brothers, she is constantly in someone's hands and getting wet kisses on her bald head. Every morning we go into her room and talk about what outfits we should put on her! The boys came over and watched me change her first diaper, and I took that opportunity to explain the girl plumbing parts. They thought she had a lot of wrinkles and Isaac/Levi keep asking where her pepe is. We got some beautiful flowers and balloons from Jared's work, and she is so tiny next to them. The NEXT DAY after being discharged from the hospital, we went and toured the new Gilbert temple open house. I used a wheelchair b/c I was nursing her under my blanket and didn't want anyone's attention. When they did find out what a little bundle of joy we had, and how old she was, I kept getting comments, "you are so brave!" The temple was so peaceful and gorgeous. The chandelier and the huge staircase were amazing. It was great explaining the service that we give there to the boys and thinking about them being there someday together as a family!

Gavin 40th bday dinner
Gavin arrived a week after Ruby's birth and we decided to celebrate his 40th birthday with a dinner. We headed over to Ms Jan and Grandpa Lowe's house and enjoyed a full spread of Texas cooking. We are still in awe at this little girl who has arrived and stolen all of our attention and love. She is so snuggly and tiny and perfect. I just wish her pony dress and wool tights would've fit her longer! She looked so adorable.

Newborn Pics
Ms Carrie Chowdury offered to take Rubys' newborn pics, at only 5 days old! I was so excited to put her in this Ruby Red dress, even though she was squinting, she still looks beautiful. Her blessing dress is also still too big. I love how gentle and peaceful she looks, amidst the chaos of having 4 older brothers. It was hard to try and get them all to look the same way, to smile, to stop touching each other, and to have them tuck in their shirts! We did haircuts the day of and I was a mess running around trying to get Ruby nursed and fed and changed in between photos. She is such an angel and we are all thrilled to have her here!
