"We interrupt our regularly scheduled program"...

...to celebrate a birthday!  Elijah's little sister turned one year old today! Happy 1st birthday, Rachel! We had a wonderful party today with lots of family. We are very blessed to have such wonderful family. Plus, it was a double party! Rebekah turns 4 on Monday!  We brought Rachel home from the hospital on her 3rd birthday. The best birthday present ever we told her. :-)  She believes it...for now...

Rachel is such a true blessing to our family. Her smile and giggle light up a room. She's doted on (and spoiled) by her siblings. We all love her dearly!
(I'm not ready to start a family blog yet - if ever - so hope you don't mind the little detour here. Couldn't resist! But if you think of her, please say a prayer that she will transition well to not having mom around when we travel and that she wouldn't give grandma a hard time in the middle of the night - something she's been known to do...once or twice...)

A few fun photos of the cute birthday girl!

How do they learn at such a young age to just toss the clothes aside??? She was enjoying herself though!


She wasn't too sure at first about the sticky frosting and the texture of the cake.


She got it though! :-) Yum-yum!
And look at what she's been doing for a couple of weeks! It will be so fun to watch her and Elijah learn to do things together.
