The Last Random Pictures

I like this picture:  Madeline trying to eat Ethan's mobile…makes me giggle

 Fun at the Pumpkin Patch

 and enjoying the apples too!

 The cutest girl that ever was

 Selfies before they were a thing:

 I'm about to embark on a new adventure.  A BLOG!  I'm calling it "The Rachel Way"

 "I make up songs and sing them as I go throughout my day.  My little boys always tells me to stop singing, but I can't.  It's just the Rachel way.  I try to make up recipes for dinner by throwing random things together.  My husband comes home from work, takes one look and says, 'did you make this up?' They never turn out great, but I can't resist.  It's just the Rachel way.  I like to feel my life, not just live it, even if that means crying more.  And in the end, as long as I can be home with my family everything seems right.  I guess it's just the Rachel way."

Eight Months Old

September 25, 2008 - Eight Months Old!

"Madeline is such a doll face!

 "But boy, she does not know how to sleep!  Last night I put her down at 7 and she woke up at 8, 9, 10, 11, 2, 5, 5:30, 7:30!  Yeah, the sad thing is that that is fairly typical.  I'm very tired…

 "She is such a sweetheart during the day though.

 "I am loving seeing more and more personality come out of her."

Another Day at Play

 "Ethan is so dear to Madeline and she adores him.

 "He always makes sure she has toys to play with and he often cried when she falls (from sitting) and gets hurt because it makes him sad.  He loves helping with her bath and when he sings to her, she always smiles and laughs."

 "Sometimes when I get bogged down by dishes and laundry, I just have to look at their dear sweet faces and right in their eyes and my heart melts…they are my joy."

Beautiful Madeline

Playing!
