Camping!

Rachel and Olivia were very brave on the water slide at the KOA




Rachel has discovered a new love. Swimming! We went Kamping at the KOA (Kampgrounds of America). She also sang Jesus Loves Me in front of the campers on Karaoke night.

GeeGee and Papa Jim visit Rachel

I'm having trouble adding our pics and videos. But here is a preview! BTW, Rachel says "I love GeeGee" every few minutes since GeeGee left. It was love at first sight.

In the past few weeks we have camped with the Webers and gone to a castle with Gee Gee and Papa. Aunt Kitty and precious Lonnie (http://raisinganautisticchild.blogspot.com/) are arriving in 2 days. -m

Rachel Is Funny!

Sorry it has been a while since I have posted. Since my last post we have discovered that Rachel has a sense of humor! Take for example this photo of the Easter Bunny at Walmart. On Easter Day we went to Walmart and in the middle of a big crowd we noticed someone in an Easter Bunny costume posing for pictures. Before we could slow her down, Rachel worked her way through the crowd and posed for a picture next to the Easter Bunny. And it was a good picture!

Like I said before, Rachel loves the Three Stooges. So of course I had to teach her the eye-poke defense that Andrew has used so well against me. Here are a few shots...

Quick reaction!






Yesterday we went to the Napa Home and Garden Show, and the Pink Panther was posing for pictures, so Rachel jumped right in. Here is the picture:

But Rachel isn't all just laughs. She has a very good, serious side to her. We bring her to church and Bible Study, and she has not been shy about her singing abilities. As you can see at an earlier post, she is quite a good singer with "Jesus Loves Me", and last Sunday she sang this for the Nursing Home Ministry, which is headed by our good friend Chaplain Marlowe Link.

She is also very friendly to the people at the nursing home, even though I doubt she ever saw many elderly people in wheelchairs when she was back in India.

Quite a good girl!
