Today is Rachel's 8th birthday - and her last as an only child! She told us she wanted a pony for her birthday, but we compromised and are giving her a brother. She seemed satisfied once we explained the benefits to her of a self-feeding infant and toddler. Now she just has to wait another 4 weeks for her present to arrive. As for this morning, she was too excited to be frolicking through the wet grass to pose for pictures, but I took some anyway!
I'll sit, but I won't look at the camera. . . .
