Mountain Climber

To her, I'm sure it seems like a small mountain. She is really into climbing these days and decided she would take advantage of a this climbing opportunity! Yes, those are all her clothes (and there are even a few more containers)sorted by size and season. I'd like to make a disclaimer though that most are hand me downs! (October 2006)

Who is the cutest pumpkin of all?

Rachel, of course! We had a fun trip at the pumpkin patch today and I tried to get it all on camera. Rachel said "cheese" for the camera a couple of times then informed me that we were "all done" (taking pictures, that is). She keeps us laughing that is for sure. (October 2006)

Beach

We went to the beach last weekend with our Sunday school class. We had a great time and enjoyed a little time on the beach even though it was quite cold. (October 2006)

Grannie and Rachel

Fun times with Grannie Jackson! We always have a great time when we visit Grannie. The last few times we've been to Bristol, we've been able to at least spend an afternoon with her. (October 2006)

Ouiet Time or Demolition???

We've been working on having quiet time in Rachel's room. I usually have my quiet time in my room during that time with the monitor turned up. During a recent quiet time, I heard her say "uh oh, uh oh" several times and wondered what happened. Well, I guess you can see what happened. Needless to say, we had a little talk and usually have a talk after most of her quiet times about what things are off limits. She seems to find something new to get into each day...little Rascal! To give her some credit, when she is not into demolishing her room she is quite adept at stacking blocks! (September 2006)

Pig tails and Pouting

I thought it would be so fun to try and put Rachel's hair in pig tails. Fun for me, but not so much for her. Let's just say she wasn't too happy about the pig tails. I'm actually suprised I got as many pictures as I did before she pulled them out (the second and only other time I tried she pulled them out within seconds :) - she sure is a fast learner.

One sleepy little girl makes makes a happy daddy!

Boy, can you tell Vimal misses Rachel taking a nap with him? He loved for Rachel to sleep on him when she was little then she grew up and now it is nearly impossible. A few Sunday's ago he took advantage of her drowsy state. When we leave church each Sunday Rachel is fast asleep before we make it home and even if we wake her to eat, she refuses and says "night, night". One sleepy little girl makes a happy daddy.

Friends!

This is a picture of Rachel and her friend Ryann! They enjoyed some fun times together this summer and are sure to have more. (September 2006)

Fun times at the Park

Rachel loves going to the park. Any time we pass a park that she can see from the car she says "Weee, more, more!" Of course, she usually heads straight for the sand box to get all gritty! This summer she learned how to climb up and go down the slide all by herself! (Sepetmeber 2006)
