Snuggle Buddies!

Rachel's friend Carolyn came over today to play and we had so much fun together! In fact, Rachel was so excited to have her here, she woke up early from her nap and proceeded to knock on Carolyn's door and wake her up, too! Poor Carolyn did not seem as eager to see Rachel, so Rachel asked to "snuggle" with her in the crib. I happily obliged and let them have some quiet time together before getting them up for snacks. I had a flash forward of what it'll be like when they are old enough to have sleep-overs and slumber parties!!! Ahhh, they are growing up so fast...

Sharing Our Special News!!!

We just found out on Thursday the 8th that we are PREGNANT!!! We were so excited that we announced the news to everyone that very same day by sending out e-mails with Rachel wearing her "Big Sister" shirt. It was a fun way to announce the Wonderful news! Then Rich came home from work tonight with these gorgeous red roses and an adorable card that said, "Congratulations on your Bun in the Oven!" It was really sweet of him and a lovely surprise!!!
WE ARE SO THRILLED!!!

Princess Rachel!

Rachel received some pretty Disney Princess play gear from our friend Mindy Levin and had so much fun playing dress up with it. I could hardly believe she let me put the earrings on! She looked so adorable that I just had to post these!!!

A Merry Little Christmas at Home

We had a very Merry Christmas at our house this year! It was really nice to stay home and be all snuggled in with the three of us and Oma & Opa. Rachel got lots of nice things from Santa. She must have been a very good girl this past year!!!
