Baby Shower #3

Hello Everyone,

We've been lagging once again:) A couple of weekends ago, my Dad, David came down and we went out for a nice dinner and had a great time. The next day, Danny and Debbie were down to attend Rachel's third shower. It was organized by Mission Lutheran School. There were a lot of fun games including pass the diaper and build-the-baby out of play-do. As you can see from the photos, everyone had a blast. We'd like to extend a special thank you to Alicia, Melinda and all the teachers and parents from MLS for throwing the shower and being so good to Rachel as well as all of our family and friends who were able to attend.

Rachel is now 37 weeks along, and we are ready for Gabriella to arrive soemtime in the next three weeks. We are very excited and cannot wait to be parents:)

Baby Shower #2

Hello Everyone,

Last weekend our church threw Rachel a baby shower. It was heald at a small farm north of town. Everyone had a great time. We've known the people at St. Andrews for years and we are all really close. We even had some of our Sunday School kids show up and they had a blast:)

California...................

Hello Everyone:) We've been lagging, but we are finally able to upload some Sprink Break pictures. We went to California for a few days to hang out and have Rachel's first baby shower. We went to the beach the first day and everyone had a blast (including the puppies). The shower was held at Alum Rock Park in San Jose and the weather was beautiful.

We'd like thank everyone who came to the shower for the great time and for your generous gifts. See you all soon:)

P.S. We decided to name the baby Gabriella Rae. This week she is 30 weeks along, and we are definitely getting excited to see her. She moves around like crazy and kicks like a horse.

Will and Daisy

We have a new addition to our family! Daisy is an 8 week old West Highland Terrier. As some of you know, we already have a Westie named Will. We sent our labrador, Tucker, to live with Rachel's parents on their land in Hatch. Our yard was getting a bit too small for Tucker, and he is know having a lot of fun with plenty of room to roam.

With Tucker gone, Will was getting lonely, so we thought we'd give him a girlfriend:) They get along very well, and we think they'll make a great couple.

Here's Our Little Girl!

Rachel had her second ultrasound yesteday. She was expecting a boy, me a girl, and I was right:) Our baby finally wiggled in the right direction, giving us an accurate view. Above all else, we are extremely grateful that she is healthy. She weighs 1 1/2 pounds, has all her fingers and toes, and she is definitely adorable already. It actually appears that she has sexy calves just like her Dad, jk. We have some names in mind and can now start shopping around for the nursery. Rachel's already searching the web for the latest fashion finds for our little one.

Our New Blog

Hello, this is Rachel and Aaron's blog. We were inspired to create this because of our sister/sister-in-law Heather. She has a great posting set up so we can keep track of her and the family. We've got a baby on the way and two crazy dogs, and we wanted to start this to keep our families up to date on our pictures and the interesting occurrences in our daily lives in Las Cruces, NM.
