Rachel is 1!

What a girl our Rachel is!  This was the fastest year of my life.  One year ago today, I delivered a beautiful petite girl weighing 7 pounds 11 ounces and 18 1/2 inches long!  What a blessing she is to us.  She has brought so many smiles to our faces and so many wonderful snuggles.  We are so proud of her!  She is healthy and happy and we can not ask for more!

We had a wonderful party for her last weekend.  It was SO MUCH FUN.  Really it was pretty stress free and I was able to enjoy it too.  We had family from all around Texas come and celebrate with us, which was amazing.  My parents drove over 4 hours to be with us, Jeff's parents drove 2 hours to be with us, Jeff's aunt and uncle drove 2 hours, his brother drove 2 hours and her adopted grandparents walked across the yard (our neighbors!)  Rachey must be pretty special for all those people to take the time to come and spend their day with her.  Thank you all for coming!  What a joyful time!

Snoozy girl slept in! 

This one is blurry but I love it.

Zane did so good sitting on Grandma Janie's lap while Rachey opened presents.  It didn't last long, but that's okay. 

Party People!

Yes, Daddy, I think I would like a truck like this in 15 years. 

Played games until late late!!!  Thanks for staying and playing!  UD was the winner!
