I've Got Chalk !

Rachel got Chalk in the Post from Granny, boy does she love her Chalk, she has used it on her black board and also outside, it is much better then the small chalk. The only problem is that Lucy likes the chalk too. She has already taken one and hit it behind the washing machine. I hope she doesn't eat it and get sick.

Some of Rachel's styles

Rachel has some wonderful styles, when it comes to clothes as well as hair does. We are trying to have clips in the hair, to help with keeping the hair from the eyes, but No, Rachel always wants to fiddle. Mommy loves the yellow outfit the best, she loves yellow and it looks so good on Rachel (not on Mommy). The purple outfit come from Evangeline's cupboard, that she still can't wear yet, but soon Rachel will have to give it back to her because it hardley fits her now. She is growing so fast!

Having fun in the back yard

Mommy and Daddy were hanging the washing and Rachel was having fun with her watering can that Mom and Dad had bought her earlier that day, it was a lovely hot day outside and it was just a good family time, even Lucy go in on the fun, and got some water spilt on her. Maybe that will help her to grow, even though she is doing well on her own. Rachel loves being outside and playing with ALL her toys, Evelyn also join in on the fun, she also had washing to hang. The only problem was that when Daddy and Mommy were holding Evangeline, Rachel threw a tantrum, sharing is still an issue that needs to be nipped in the bud. Mommy can't even hold Lucy without Rachel wanting "Uppies". But all in all it was a good day.

Fun at the Park

The other day we went to the park down the road, it was great fun Rachel always loves swinging on the swings but today we tried the see-saw, she loved it.. up and down up and down. Mommy was very tied of holding her, her back was almost breaking. Dad enjoyed taking the pictures. When we had to go, Rachel really kicked up a fuss, she really didn't want to go, but she was also tied.

At the Barney Show

Last week the family went to see Barney, AGAIN, this time at the baby expo at the ICC. It was great and so many people at the show. Rachel had great fun dancing in the aisle and made some friends. She took her Barney with her and was very proud waving him about. The show was great and we got to see everyone, BJ and Babybop too. Mommy was very impressed at how the parents were even more exsited then the kids.

We have another Baby (Puppy)

Rachel and Mommy were at Home when Daddy phoned to say I've got good news, I've got Rachel a puppy. This is after he had worked Night shift and had gone passed his family home to find 3 stray puppies, choose the fittest of the bunch and brought "Lucy" home. She was full of flies and so weak. This was a Sunday morning and we still all wanted to go to church, still went and left a crying Lucy in Evelyn's capable hands. After church Lucy was given a good wash and scrub with anti-flie shampoo for Dogs. Rachel really enjoyed the whole thing, and everytime Lucy crys she calls "Where Wo Wo". By now Lucy has settled in well, even though Rachel still want to pick her up all the time, but Lucy gives back by nibbling Rachel on her legs. Rachels favourite game is knocking Lucy over while swinging on her swing. The first night was hard on Mommy because Daddy had to still work on night shift. Running after 2 babies at night really exhausted Mommy, it felt as if she worked night shift.
