First night at home brushing her teeth after her first real sit-down-in-the-water bath!
First slip and slide on the grass, in her first bathing suit (she loved it, you just can't see her smile here).
First time sleeping in a bed with brother Ray. (They lasted the night together..but Joe spent most of the night sleeping in between them bless his heart!)
There has also been first cold cereal (loved it), first green beans (hated them), first time to church, first time on a scooter, a bike, a toy car, a stroller, first cartoons, first OtterPop, ice cream cone, sippy cup, first time to use Band-aids!!, first time at Family Home Evening, first time to HAVE a family, first brothers to laugh with, first time to have a mommy and a daddy hugging, kissing, smiling and paying attention to her all day long.
WE LOVE YOU RUBY EMEFA!!!

Wow-talk about a sensory overload! But it sounds like plenty of absolutely wonderful firsts for Ruby (even bandaids!) And, of course, lots of firsts for Ray, Solomon, and you guys too! (just don't forget to add first time meeting Sanchez cousins to the list soon...) Thanks for the post!
oh my goodness!! what an absolute doll. I totally cried as i read your last statement. I am so happy that she has a wonderful family now with great parents and brothers to love her forever. I really think you and joe are so amazing. We can't wait to meet her.
Wow! We want to meet Ruby whenever you think she is up for it! What a beautiful girl. -- Her quilt is almost finished!!
I love that you're noticing all of these things.
How are Ray and Solomon doing?
So exciting, I LOVE that you are documenting these things! What a lucky and blessed family to have found each other!!!!! You are positively GLOWING in person!!
You guys are the greatest! What a sweet family - Ruby is so lucky to have you guys, as I'm sure you feel about her! Best wishes in a smooth and joyful transition.
She is so adorable!! I love watching her play outside in the mornings! That must be so much fun watching her do all these things for the first time! She's so lucky to have such a wonderful family!!
I am so glad you posted! That is awesome!
She is beautiful! We can't wait to meet her! 31 days and counting!
What wonderful "firsts"! We're so happy for you!
Much love to all of you!!!
I'm so happy she is home and doing so well! What a cutie. Thanks for your nice note. Please keep in touch if you move while I'm on vacation
She is so beautiful! Please keep us posted on her progress and your adventures together. What a great reminder of what to appreciate in life. And to think my kids complain about having cold cereal for dinner sometimes. :) I also can't help but think what a big heart Ray must have. He must get it from his parents.
It was so fun seeing you guys last night. I wish we would have had more, non crazy time to visit. If people were not at the playground, I did not get to visit :)
Wow, Shannan! I'm so excited for you and your family! Ruby is adorable!
Ruby is so adorable. I just kept watching her yesterday during church (RS) and I had tears in my eyes. What a precious girl! And what a great family to be a part of! You guys are awesome.
You totally started the waterworks... :) She is SO beautifull.
