Sweet Pumpkin

My dad called me "Pumpkin" when I was a little girl. I remembering being confused as to why pumpkin was a form of endearment. Pumpkins are orange, round and fat. Honey, Sugar, Baby Cakes (who would use that one) sweetheart- those made more sense to me. Having said that... we like Pumpkin for our little Rachel.

Yesterday she turned 1 week old. The boys were finally not coughing and the runny noses are improving so they got to hold her for their first time. They were really excited!!!


Allie held her for a second while I took care of something. Rachel was happy about that.

The Hedricks made us the most delicious pumpkin birthday cake in honor of her day too. Oh Sweet Pumpkin! Now can we try to remember that 3am is still "nighttime" and not time to be awake.

Looks like you have some built-in babysitters. Wesley may need a lesson or two more until he's ready for prime time.

The kids are really cute with the baby. Thanks for the pictures. They are all really precious.

Such sweet pictures. The kids look so happy loving their little sister.
And how great that Allie is big enough to help take care of Rachel for a minute! That's huge.

Adorable! That last picture totally makes me want to go to sleep. Did someone crochet or knit that blanket for you? It's beautiful.
