Easter 2009

We had a great Easter this year. On Sunday We went to church and then went over to my mom's for an Easter lunch with family. We enjoyed seeing everyone and eating great food. I'm so thankful that we celebrate Easter. What a great reminder of all that Jesus did for us. Because of his resurrection we have hope after death. What a wonderful assurance to know that heaven awaits me.

Rachel is ready for church.

"Hello, Mr. Easter Bunny!"

Rachel is holding her first real Easter egg.

BUBBLES

Bubbles are the new thing in our house. Rachel loves them. She points to the bottle all the time and wants me to blow them. I'm running out of oxygen pretty fast.

Rachel Update

HAIR!

Rachel's hair is getting a little longer. I can put it in a pony tail but her hair is so fine that it falls out pretty easily. She also pulls it out pretty soon after it's in....I wonder when that stage will be over? Oh- she's was in the Barney trance when I took this picture.

BABIES!

Rachel loves to play with her baby doll. She rocks it, takes it on stroller rides, feeds it, and pats it on the back-she is now wanting a burp cloth on her shoulder when she holds her baby. Rachel learned that from her teachers at Weekday School because they take care of real babies.

PLAYING!

Rachel loves to climb through tunnels and boxes.

TALKING!

Rachel is saying several words now. She's soaking things up like a sponge.

DANCING!

As you know Rachel loves to dance! She gets all her dancing moves from her dad :)
