At the end of the day at the in-laws house Rachel went over and sat on this swing...

and Rachel with her broom

Taylor peeling boiled eggs

on a roll now

Rachel eating her favorite, boiled egg, and notice flip-flops on the wrong feet. If you put them on the right feet she will sit and change them. If you tell her they are on the wrong feet she basically tells you she likes it that way:))

Taylor's "mean" face......

Rachel 'choking' the kitty.....

Carrying her one handed.

below....notice flip flops on wrong feet....again!

Above and below was taken at my works yearly Easter egg hunt. At the end, all the children get to choose a prize and you can see what Rachel and Taylor picked. Rachel is calling that her puppy and when we tell her it's a lamb she says 'no', I did hear her calling it puppy lamb yesterday. Rachel also wouldn't take her picture with the Easter bunny.....oh well.

Haven't posted in forever then 2 in one week................I couldn't resist sharing these pics though!! Precious faces!!

We went to the Jump Zone after having our last visit with our social worker for Rachel's adoption. For the first hour Rachel wouldn't do anything, then it clicked and she had a blast!!

Taylor loved the Jump Zone!!

Next Up: Rachel's Birthday 3/27/07------3 Years Old!!

Wow, I can't believe how long it has been since I posted. We moved to a more rural community in November, not far from where we lived, but the computer access is just not as speedy and it can get very frustrating!! In March we celebrated Rachel's 1year anniversary with us and also her 3rd birthday!! Enjoy the pics!
