First Christmas





Our first Christmas as a family of six was CRAZY and SPECIAL all at once. We spent Christmas at home this year visiting family in January. Rachel got to enjoy the local sites and sounds of what Christmas is like in Texas. She had no problem figuring out how to open presents. The girl is a pro at finding a seam and ripping it open. Seriously, there is no seam this girl can't find on anything to open..that's why she can't hold anything in the grocery store cart! Tee hee we laugh but for me to pause and look up at the ornament we have from Shaohannah's Hope from two years back, it's a reminder of each Christmas spent wondering and waiting about our 4th child.

"Cupcake" For DS

So today as I'm spending a few hours writing up our report for our 1-year post adoption appointment with our case worker, Rachel is off to the side "using her imagination". Such a proud Mommy I am. My little darling using that noggin to discover the next cure for the common cold, of course. So did I laugh out loud or what when Rachel started singing "Happy Birthday Mommy" and presented me with a special "cupcake". Yes, that is a half-eaten apple with a Nintendo DS stylus tucked in the top just like a candle. I've told my boys to keep their games out of reach...oops!

MY FIRST EASTER!

Rachel had no problem learning how to collect eggs. She just kept going and going like and Energizer Bunny. We attended our church's Easter Speggtacular at a local park. Our kiddos covered all 4 age groups, so we came home with over 200 eggs...seriously! That said, we had an impromptu egg hunt in our greenbelt with our neighbor friends! Rachel's new vocabulary word for the week is 'EGGS' with the obligatory exclamation point thrown in!
