Dear Rachel

I made it through the first two weeks. We're almost all better and Brooklyn seems to have made it through with no sickness.
Still no great pictures. Brooklyn gets concerned every time the camera comes out.

The kids are very excited about their little sister - constantly wanting to hold her (now that they can) and saying "Hi Brooklyn" at least 1 million times a day. They are even so helpful that they'll shake a rattle in her face to "keep her happy" even when she is sleeping and especially when she is nursing.

I'm tired, but happy.

I'm overwhelmed, but grateful.


My house is messy, but full of laughter.

And I am in love with one amazing man and three energetic little children.

Love, Rachel

PS - Peyton wants to know why I still have a big tummy even though the baby came out.

PS again - Ellie doesn't like our house anymore. She likes our neighbors house. Why? According to her, Bob the Builder didn't build our house, but he did build the neighbors.

One more - Showers and sleep and sanity are not necessary for a happy life.
