Special Delivery For Rachel: Blankie!


We received a surprise in the mail from Aunt Carrie! She is quite the knitter; so fast I might have to dub her the bionic-knitter (not all superheroes wear capes, right?). She made a special blankie for Rachel. It's orange, because we LOVE orange. Rachel's referral photo had her in a orange walker. It stuck in my mind immediately. I tagged all of our China luggage with orange polka dots. I rented an orange stroller while in China. I must have bought 10 different orange outfits. I still love it. So to get Aunt Carrie's special blankie made with love knitted in orange was a super birthday treat for Rachel (and me!). We just wish Aunt Carrie and our cousins lived closer.

Next time you see us dressed in orange, you'll know why! Which is kind of funny since Randy is an Aggie...

"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!
