Rachel's 10th Birthday

I can't believe that my little Rachel turned 10 today. It doesn't seem like it has been 10 years since we brought her home from the hospital to our little apartment in West LA. It seems like yesterday that Lance would take her for drives to the airport to try and get her to go to sleep.
We are so happy to have Rachel be a part of our family. Here are a few of the things that we love about Rachel:
• She does everything with enthusiasm: School, Piano, Singing to the radio at the top of her lungs, and even fighting with her sister.
• She is almost always happy. Take it from someone who has a "glass half empty" outlook on life, it is refreshing to have someone around who looks on the bright side of things.
• She is very friendly and helpful.
• She loves little kids.
• She is a great big sister.
• She loves everything about the gospel.
• She is a nice person. In a world of not so nice people, she stands out.
I feel very grateful to be Rachel's mom. I have seen her grow from the fattest, cutest baby into the beautiful girl she is today. Happy Birthday Rachie-Roo!
