Happy Birthday Rachel!

Yesterday Rachel turned 2!! Yah!! Elizabeth keeps telling her, "Rachel, You're 2 now." Rachel has no idea what that means... but she'll figure it out eventually ;o)

A couple of weeks ago I took Rachel to a friend's birthday party. She sat on my lap sucking her thumb the entire time and refused to talk to anyone or play any games. So we decided that for our shy little Rachel no big birthday party was wanted. So we had Grandma, Grandpa, Jacob, Uncle Ben, Aunt Celeste, and Madelynn over. I think it was perfect. Rachel was perfectly comfortable and had a great time getting lots of love and attention.
We had been telling her that she was going to have a Birthday for several days and all she wanted to know was if there was going to be a birthday cake. ("Happy to you cake" is what she calls it) So Josh made her a big 3 level cake. She loved it and loved that we sang Happy Birthday to her. She is such a sweet little girl.
She also had to get all of her most favorite things. Uncle Ben and Aunt Celeste brought her minnie mouse. Grandma and Grandpa brought her an art desk... She loves having her own little place to sit! And Josh and I got her a little sleep and feed baby doll. So much fun for one little girl!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RACHEL!!!

3 Weeks... We're Making It!

Three kids is quite a trip. Luckily one still sleeps a lot and the other two are just glad that daddy has been around a lot. We are all feeling good and are happy to have a new person to play with at home. Just thought that I'd update with a few photos. He's growing fast and already is looking so different to me. We've been working on the double chin and it seems to be coming along well. Pretty soon you'll no longer be able to see any neck!
