One year older and wiser too...

It's my birthday!!! I turned 24 today! Grandma and Grandpa Lloyd came over for dinner as well as Uncle Matt and Uncle Cameron. Mom and Dad gave me Seasons 1 & 2 of 'The Office', one of my favorite shows. Its been a great birthday!!! Me not being a cake lover, we put all 24 candles on a lemon creme pie:

Rachel contiunues to grow and amaze us with her "cuteness." She loves to sqeak and squack and hear the sound of her own voice. We had to take her out during church today because she was laughing and squeaking so loudly. One of her new favorite things to do is roll over. She can go from her back to her tummy, but not the other way around. She doesn't like being on her stomach, so she constantly rolls over, then cries until we flip her onto her back, then flips right back over and starts the process all over again. If we weren't so in love with her, it could get annoying!

This is our new home. We bought the condo almost a month ago now and love it. Its fun to do all of the little things to make the place "ours". Over the weekend we had our first experience sewing together (even Rachel helped). We made pillow covers for the new love seat to match the window treatments. Not too shabby!

Mr. Mom

Mommy is working today, so Tyler gets to be "Mr. Mom" for the day. After we clean the house, we're going shopping and fixing Daddy's car, but this morning Rachel had her first experience with pears:
Most of them madeit into her mouth, but as you can see, some ended up on her face. Rachel had an appointment with Dr. Johnson on Monday. She weighs almost 13 pounds now and we got the green light to start giving her some fruits and veggies. So far she's had squash, beans and now pears!

Welcome to our blog.

It's still a work in progress, but we'll keep you posted on what's new in our lives here!

In the meantime, here's a picture of litte Rachel:
