Update on Rachel

Loves Sesame Street - especially Elmo and the musical clips.
Weight 22 lbs. 4 oz. (4th%), Height (20%), Head (95%)
Starting to talk in full sentences. I don't like it. This one. I want to go bye bye.
Loves Emily and occasionally cries because she wants to go pick her up from school.

Is fanatical about shoes. Wears anyone and everyone's shoes.

Loves to dress herself and has her favorite clothes. She lets me know what she wants to wear.

Had the worse accident. Climbed out of the umbrella stroller while moving and hit the concrete. Cried for 30 seconds. I felt horribly guilty. But loves her new big girl bed.

Joshua lost his First Tooth

Early in the school year Joshua said to me, "Did you know that I am the ONLY kid in my class that has not lost a tooth?" I love his white baby teeth but it is a big deal when you know the tooth fairy has not come yet. Finally a loose tooth appeared with an adult tooth behind. I pulled it out quickly and the tooth fairy came.

Updates on Nathan

Chipped a small piece of one of his front teeth - Ouch! but fixed it the next day. Thanks to the dentist. Braces coming in a year.


Ran in the school election for Treasurer. Slogans were - Count on someone who can count - Nathan Keith for Treasurer and It makes good cents to vote Nathan Keith for treasurer. He did a great job giving a speech to the school. He also busy in school in many different after school groups - Destination Imagination, University Interscholastic League, Environmental Club, Acquiring Inquisitive Minds and Running Club.

He went on his first fieldtrip away from home for 2 1/2 days to Sky Ranch. He loved the outdoor experience, the trapeze, waterslides and swimming, but especially hanging out with his friends continually.


The family was so glad to have him come back. He got a very nice welcome from everyone, even neighbors.

I can hardly believe this little girl is two already!

And what a wonderful two years its been since this spunky little girl came into our family. She keeps us all laughing and we love her so very much.

Rachel turned two on 9.23.10 and we had a great day sharing our birthdays together.

Some cake, a little bit of ice cream, a lunch out with the ladies, some shopping, lunch dates with her brothers, and quite a few presents was all it took to put a smile on this sweet girls face all day long...it was so fun to watch her enjoy her day.

We love you Rachel Marie and hope you had a super fun second "bappy birf - day!"
