Settling in to family life




Rachel is totally a member of this family. I love her so much.

She has her morning routines (tomatos for breakfast, with milk and cereal-uck), feeding the chickens with mommy, having "school" which is currently learning numbers, counting, and writing her letters (the "big" and the "baby" letters,) tending bees with mommy and maddy (totally protected in her bee suit, of course), going to court with daddy, and her favorite things ...seeing the "cousins" (who, are actually her nieces and nephews.)

She sobs whenever she has to say goodbye to a family member (even me! when daddy takes her in his car and daddy when I take her in my car.) Rachel's perfect world is to have everyone she loves gathered together. Hmmm. That's my perfect world too!

The pictures are of her playhouse now that its painted and some other pics taken recently.
Enjoy!

Rachel gets a playhouse

On Saturday we paint it green with purple window boxes and a purple door. Then we'll begin the process of fencing and adding gardens. Thank you, Daddy for moving a 600 gallon (!) water tank to the back of the playhouse area.
