Prayers for Baby Hope

This is my neighbor's little baby Hope. I love her. She is at Rainbow Babies Hopsital in Cleveland right now and has had a really tough start at life. Her date to be born in coming up in mid July. She will be 6 weeks old on July 3. I would just like for you to all pray for her. Pray for her mommy, daddy, and big brother, too. They have had a lot to deal for quite awhile. I think it helps to see who you are praying for. So, Hope's mommy said I could share her picture with you all. Isn't she beautiful? I will update you when I know more. Keep the prayers coming. Love to you all.....

Swimming at the Boothby's

Thank you soooo much Mrs. Boothby and Ella for having me today. I had so much fun in your "swimming". I fell asleep about 30 seconds after my mommy started driving. I was a tuckered out little girl! I loved coming today and had so much fun playing "dog" with Ella. I will have to come back again sometime. I love you. Say hi to the rest of your family for me. Don't worry....I'll be back to visit!

Happy Father's Day, Daddy!

I love you, Daddy! You are the best Daddy in the world. I am glad you are mine. Thanks for always taking care of me and playing "dog" with me. I love when you swing me and when we water the flowers together. Thanks for being my Daddy.

Watch out, Paris Hilton! Ellie has your sunglasses!

Look what Ellie got into!

First Pictures!!!!

These aren't the greatest pictures, but they will surely get Mommy's point across! Here is the NEW baby!!!!!! Mommy had her ultrasound on Tuesday, and all looks good! Just one baby in there, Rachel!!!! Whew! Here is the funny part...my daddy knows if I am going to have a sister or brother, but my mommy does not. Daddy is NOT allowed to tell....so no bribing him....not even with food or money! hehe The baby is laying across mommy's tummy right now from one end to the other (transverse) and the cord is up by his/her face...so some pictures look a little distorted. The funny thing is....his/her arms are behind the head....just lounging and enjoying life inside mommy's tummy! She is 1/2 way there....and we are getting excited! Now, if mommy and daddy could just come up with some names they agree on! Love to you all!!!!!
arm up by head...cord near nose...lounging
Face up....can easily see ear, nose, mouth, and eye
Lounging again...cord near face...hard to see features in this picture. Exciting, though!!!!!

Swimming with Sophie

Summertime is the life!
Ok, Soph...I'll share my pool with you.
Here Soph,....drink it...I do!
Squirting Soph with water. We both are having a great time!

Sunglass Princess

I'll spray you with water...just dare me
Like my cool shades?
Told ya'......don't tempt me, Mom!

Tribute to Ellie

Ellie is getting to be so big. I can not believe she will be three in Sept. As we await the new arrival of the baby this fall, I just can't help but realize how lucky we are. I wanted to go through some of our pictures, and just tribute Ellie. I love you, peanut, and I am so lucky to call you my little girl. Kisses...always..... Mommy

SCHOOL IS OUT!

It is official, guys! My mommy is done with school now. Yippeeee! I am excited to have her home again. I will miss my friends at Sheila's, though. Just wanted to say that it is officially summer at our house now!!!!! Yeah!

Oh, prayers for my daddy. He has a job interview tomorrow morning (Wednesday). He would really like to find a new place to work. I don't know much about his job since I am only 2....but it seems pretty stressful. My mommy would be soooo happy if this would work out. Prayers please for my daddy.

One more thing...my mommy is doing good with the baby. The baby is moving now and she can feel the little kicks every day. She is 18 weeks along and her yucky sickness is all gone. She has an ultrasound next week. Should mommy and daddy find out the gender??? I would like to know if I am getting a brother or a sister....but mommy says no. We'll see!!!!

Playing outside

I love playing outside. Bubbles are one of my favorite things to play with!
Oh, no! Sophie is eating the bubbles!
I think I just ate some of them, too!
Here, Sophie...want seconds???? Why not, Mom will never find out!

Pretty girl

Here is my pretty Sophie girl. She loves the cooler weather. This hot stuff is for the birds!
