We have really enjoyed having our little Rachel join us. Each one of us has enjoyed her and her sweet spirit. There have been many arguments between the girls as to which one of them will hold her. But they both (Megan and Alyssa) have stepped up to the plate and been really good team players. Megan has a knack for calming Rachel down by walking around with her and singing to her. Matthew and Kyle have also participated in their own way: Matthew by singing to her, and Kyle by informing us when she is crying. She has been fussy the last two weeks, but we are still enjoying her.
We are all getting back into the swing of things. We are back in full swing with school, dance, scouts, church and everything else. The three older ones are doing really well in school (academically and socially), and we are hopeful it will continue throughout the year. Matthew should start preschool in October if we can figure out how to make the schedule work.
Brandon is still extremely busy with work and church, but hopefully things will be easing up for him sometime. I am enjoying a few more weeks of maternity leave and have really enjoyed being a stay-at-home mom.
We are planning on having Rachel blessed on October 25th at our church. Sacrament meeting is first and starts at 11:00 a.m. Please join us if you can.
We all want to express our thanks to each one of you who have prayed for us, sent us notes and gifts, and given so much of your time to us. It is such a blessing to be part of a large and supportive family. We are so blessed by each one of you. Our hope is that our children (while not so numerous) will be as supportive to each other in their future.
