Rachel turns 9





Our family caught the first wave of the flu season this past week. I was out for the count for several days. Jackson followed up with pneumonia. Allie stayed home several days with fever and Rachel stayed home as well. My parents were here this week for a vacation and all they got was nursemaid duty. Despite all the illness, we celebrated Rachel's birthday on Friday and Saturday . My mom made her a yummy cake. We ordered CPK takeout, Rachel's favorite. She got tons of presents from aunts, uncles and grandparents. The best part for Rachel was that she got to go to Magic Mountain for the first time. Lance took her and they spent the day standing in long lines going on extreme coasters. We are so grateful to have Rachel as part of our family.

Congratulations to Rachel! Sorry about the flu. Mindy's family has all had it and one of Ryan's kids. There's a lot going around here in Boise--30% of school kids sick in some schools. Hope Jackson is feeling better by now.
