Sarah is forcing me to do a blog again. Blogs are hard for me because I don't really have a specific person I am talking to (obviously), I'm just talking to anyone who happens to read it so for some reason that is challenging to me. I never did one of those yearly holiday letters for that exact reason. I'd rather write individually to people, but who has time for that? I guess I'll just tell about our day and hopefully that will be interesting to someone.
Rachel is a really good sleeper, but doesn't get the concept of 'bedtime'. She decides when it is our bedtime and sometimes it's a half-way decent time, but most of the time it's not. Last night for instance (or should I say this morning) it was after 6am. I started trying to get her to sleep at 2am (2am is an acceptable bedtime for me) and sometimes she would drift off, only to wake back up when I lay her down or maybe sleep for 10 minutes. She finally slept for real at 6 something, then so did I. This of course puts our whole home-school schedule out of whack.
Sarah is SO amazing with the baby. A lot of times she can get her happy when I can't. It's funny because Sarah has never been into babies or baby dolls or anything. She actually didn't even want our family to have a baby originally, but she LOVES Rachel and is always holding her and/or talking to her. It is fabulous! I am so blessed to have her to help me.
So....okay...about my day. All we really did was school work and took a walk. Other than that it was just the usual household duties (laundry, meals, dishes, diaper changes...etc) We are planning to go to Ohio on Wednesday where our church is and where we hope to move in the near future. We'll be there until Sunday. My grandniece who is 2 months older than Rachel will be there (along with her mother, my nephew's wife) so I will try to get some pictures of the babies together and post them here.
Here's a picture of Sarah and Rachel:

I like your blog. That baby is growing fast. It is so neat sarah has taken to her like that. She is a great big sis. I think Alysha will be the same way. My helper!! Having a baby did not slow you guys down, did it!! Ya'll are so busy.
