Rebecca's TWO!!

We went to a park in the morning:


Here's Lillian showing off her new shoes that SHE tied all by herself! She just learned how to do this and is very excited!

This is what Rachel did while the girls were playing... slept in the van!
Do you like her shorts, Enoch and Sarah?!!

Later, when Daddy was home from work, we had cake:

Happy 2nd Birthday Rebecca!!

We love you!!

Here are some other fun pics:

Busy Days

These last few weeks have definitely been busy, and I can't imagine that they're going to be slowing down anytime soon! I'm learning that 4 kids ages 5 and under are a lot of work... fun work though (most of the time!). I managed (with the Lord's gracious help!) to get some "group" pictures of the girls when Rachel was only 4 days old...

Daniel likes to call these little "tic-tac-toes"

These following four pictures are something we see a lot of around here lately:

At home happenings:
Rachel helping with the laundry


Sleeping peacefully

I found Rachel like this after Lillian had stopped by to "swaddle" her.


Abigail's convert

Rebecca's comment about the chickens, "Too noisy!"

Abigail wouldn't pet the horse but she rode him with no problem! This was her first time ever on a horse. Way to go Abigail!


This is Lillian's second year riding a horse at the fair... what a pro!

See ya next time partner!
