A Ukrainian princess....
Loves, loves, loves her big brother.
A big brother returns the feelings.
A princess forces her brother to work, to follow her....
He rolls to find her...
And he won't be outdone in the head control department.
Who needs therapists when you have a princess?!
That last photo is just precious!
ReplyDelete...and a little child shall lead them.
They are so adorable together! I love all of Arina's faces!
ReplyDeleteThey are SO cute- how do you get anything done? Seriously!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, too funny!!! She can seriously pull some great faces. :-) I love that they're so attached to each other and work so well together!!!! I think they'll have lots to teach each other in the coming years.
ReplyDeleteWOW these were incredible and you're are absolutely right who needs a therapist when one has a princess as a sister, Jax probably gets more motivation from her than he ever felt with any therapist and she will probably get the most out of him.
ReplyDeleteOfcourse there I was was smiling and lovin that little girl of yurs when I saw the 1st pic and then I scrolled down and saw the 2nd and 3rd and Lacey you had me in splits of laughter, your Princess makes the best faces ever!!! Love her and Jax always
They are so cute I couldn't stop looking at them all day long! I imagine their big brothers must agree with me haha. Love that last picture. And of course Princess Arina is the best therapist Jax could ask for!
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE!! The faces she can make are too preciuos. She will encourage Jax to do things no therapist or mom can. Just Like Eliana (my 3year old) does for Gabriel.
ReplyDeleteThis is AWESOME! You must be so proud of Jax, and so thankful for your sweet girl! They are a match made in heaven! You are truly blessed!
ReplyDeleteHope Jax stays healthy! Thinking of him and praying! Hugs!
These are the BEST pics, Lacey!! Look at the amazing sibling bond they have already!! Arina is a true "Rugg"=) Continued prayers for Jax!!

ReplyDeleteAll I can say is amazing!! The looks on Jaxson's face in these pictures in awesome. He seems to be blossoming before my eyes. There is so much expression and joy that I hadn't seen before. It is beautiful! Have a wonderful Christmas, Rugg family!! - Maureen C.
ReplyDeleteI love that Arina is helping Jax! They are both adorable!!
ReplyDeleteI know I wish the weather was warmer too so we could go and play.
Maggie went off the ventilator because she was way over ventilated from her liver not working right. So if she went back on it she would have to be watched carefully and we would really have to make sure that it is the best thing for her.
I seriously love all of the pictures you post!! Your so good about that! I need to be better at it.
Hope your family has a Merry Christmas!!
Oh that last picture needs to be blown up and framed! Precious!
