Welcome to the Circus Vincent the Strongman!

Introducing Vincent Enrique Ruiz born at Vanderbilt Hospital on Saturday, 7/21/12 at 12:53 pm. He weighed in at 6 lbs 13 oz & was 20 inches long. Whew! That was a long nine months, but it was certainly worth the wait!


Baby Vincent was born with a cleft lip & palate which was revealed at our five month pregnancy ultrasound. We have been working with a team of specialists from Vanderbilt Children's Hospital since his diagnosis & have been incredibly pleased with their friendly support & warmth. Even though we were sad with the news we feel blessed to have this opportunity to grow in love & deepen our ability to nurture this little soul who chose us as his mama & papi. We feel extremely honored & welcome him to travel with us, The Roaming Ruizes, in this adventure we call LIFE!

We salute moms everywhere! An extra "Happy Mother's Day" to Amanda Ruiz & Lois Hendrick: two incredible women we respect for raising us & not going completely mad in the process.
