The hand off.
FINALLY!
I think she likes her mommy!
Oh that face is so cute!
She thinks her daddy is silly! :)
I'm showing her pictures of her big brothers and big sister.
We looked at this album several times while in Ethiopia and she would just stare at the pictures.
Thank you God for this precious child!
Three of the 4 kids have come down with a flu bug so we are sleep deprived and barely hanging on....but life is good, we have all of our children home together! (Hunter is the healthy one)

awesome pictures! Ruby looks like she was in love at first sight!! I hope everyone bounces back real quick and you're all healthy and well rested real soon!
I can't get enough of your little girl!!! More, more, more pictures!!
I was just looking back to when you started down this path to Ruby..it looks like it was 8 months! That's shorter than a pregnancy would have been but a whole lot different and very difficult at times I'm sure! wow...congratulations ~by the way!
I am with Amber I can't get enough. More more more when every one is not sleep deprived and ill. Get better soon. I will be praying that everyone get healthy and some sleep. And I am still working on your gift when I get time. I have had a busy last couple weeks. We have a new baby in my family too. My brother and his wife had one last week, then my other brother and his fiance got married. So lots going on.
so awesome! i know you are tired and stretched to the limit, but when you can, post us more of the story...please!
praise God that hunter is healthy.
She is just so beautiful! Get some rest:)
WELCOME HOME!!! We miss you already! Bayoush has named one of her baby dolls Sifan and is taking very good care of her. I hope your travel home was good-- and hope the family is feeling better!!

Oh No! Here we were going to stop by this last Monday after the t-ball game to see Ruby but decided to wait. I hope you all feel better soon! That little Ruby is just a gem (no pun intended). I had tears in my eyes looking at the pictures as I'm sure you and Robb did finally getting to see her! I know you have waited a long time and so glad you have shared your journey with everyone. You will def. need to print out all the pages of your journey and put it in her baby book. So glad you guys are home and your family is complete! She is a wonderful addition to the family. Welcome Home Ruby and welcome to the Arnold Heritage. Its a wonderful one!!! I bet Gr. Arnold can't get enough of her!!!
She is an absolute doll.
Wow! She is the most precious little thing. Those pictures (esp the one of you and her) almost brought tears to my eyes.
Congrats!! Hope you are all feeling better SOON.
I have been waiting and checking in to hear about her and your trip! Glad you got a chance to post some pictures of her. Can't wait to hear more about her.
So sorry to hear that everyone has been sick...bummer.
Glad to see you felt up to posting a few. It is a whirlwind, isn't it? I'll be over in a bit with some supper for you. Hope you love it --- if not, lie... and tell me you did! Hah!
OH Teresa. I am so happy for your family. I'm sure you are so glad to finally have her a part of your family.
She is so precious. Adorable pictures. I just loved seeing each and every picture.
I hope everyone at your home feels better soon.
Congratulations! She is beautiful!! Can't wait to hear more..
She is beautiful, and you guys look great with her. Just as it should be!!!
Take time for you and your kids now, get as much rest as you can, and let others help when they offer. We will pray for health for all of you, and would love to help with anything you need (grocery shopping, errands, etc.). Please let us know!!
God is so good!!!!

Oh no! So sorry to hear your kids are ill. I hope they can kick it quickly and that Hunter remains healthy. That is the worst thing to experience while recovering from jet lag, trying to unpack and being up at night with a baby. We got somehow got through it, and I know God will get you through it, too. Ruby has the biggest, most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. She also seems like a content baby. This sounds kind of repetitive, but we will pray for your family's speedy recovery.
Beautiful!! She is beautiful and the gift you've given her is beautiful as well!!!
Praying everyone is healthy soon!!
She is beautiful! Thanks for sharing with all of us. Hope you are feeling better soon!
Look at the smile on her face in the pic with Robb. So stinkin' cute!!!
Sorry about the sick kids. =( That can't be fun.
Ahhh, she is so cute!!
Welcome Home!!
Congratulations!!! She is even more adorable than her referral picture! Best wishes for a smooth adjustment to a family of 6!
Eric, Kelli & DeLaney
I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am for you all. I get a HUGE smile on my face while reading your blog and seeing the joy in your face.
