Happy 8th Birthday, Rachel!


Vanessa’s sweet cousin Rachel turned 8 last week. She’s truly a princess with a curious nature to try new things. I think it’s all too perfect that Rachel has three little brothers to balance out the level of princessness she has in her. Rachel is polite, considerate and very loving – a true testament to how she is parented. She’s been a cheerleader and wants to play basketball. She’s moved through Awanas at rapid speeds and placed 3rd in her group. She loves to read and really likes anything related to American Girl, Barbies and Fairies. Purple and pink are her favorite colors. She had her ears pierced last week. From what we hear, she was very brave. And Rachel is taking the responsibility for caring for ears very seriously. She explains the process really well. She’s such a big girl now and we’re so very happy we get to share in her life!

And I just like this picture -- pretty soon Seth will be in the middle of it too. :)
