First Mother's Day!


It's our first mother's day as a family of six; Rachel' first Mother's day! That, alone, is profound. We are forever grateful for those sweet interim mommies who watched over her at Enping SWI. They nurtured this little girl for 14 months awaiting the day she would meet her forever family. And she's here! For us, getting the perfect pictures is, well, impossible, we're happy with what we get; there's always a story in our photos. In this picture, Rachel is shouting "cheese!" with arms open wide as in exclamation. Seems appropriate!

"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!
