Rachel's birthday

Rachel is 9! Her one request for her special birthday supper was to have yogurt parfaits. :-) That wasn't a hard request when you consider that we had both homemade yogurt and mango jelly on hand! She was one happy little girl as we celebrated on the porch.

Finally - Here's a picture of my maid, Yeye and her fiance! They're planning a January wedding. Of course Yeye is like family to us, so we're all excited about her upcoming wedding and enjoying learning to know Fenice as well.

A family picture

     The thing that amazes me about family pictures is you realize how fast your children are growing! Do the words "fun" and "scary" belong in the same sentence? :-) God is good!

Once upon a time...

There were birthdays...

 (I'm sorry I haven't been posting more frequently!)

Jonathan's 7th...

Weston's 4th... I find his yellow "suspenders" so amusing. It makes me smile every time I see these pictures. His sisters rigged them for him out of a "Happy Birthday" ribbon just because it was his birthday! :-)

Helpers - big and little

Janelle loves to wash dishes...

Trimming grass is a very good job for Jared - and he enjoys it, too!

I'm convinced that the main ingredient for fun is imagination!

The older boys fixed up this contraption on the wagon, and had fun giving their younger siblings rides.

My little princess...
