The title says it all: its our baby's birthday. Rachel was born on the 11th of November, I will not say the year, that's for her to disclose. Rachel is one of the blessings, that The Lord has given to us. She is a great daughter, wife, mother, and aunt. When her niece Emma was born, she acquired the name Chach, and has has been called that for 12 years.
After Rachel was born, I asked Pat if she wanted more children; she said no. Little Rachel was close to ten pounds, and a labor of love for Mom.
Her sisters were born with lots of hair, Rachel not so much. That brings up a story about the girl. In the third grade we had teacher conferences, Mrs. Webb said, "My you sure spend a lots of time fixing her hair." Pat: "oh no she does that all by herself!" The picture that is posted was all by herself: she takes her hair serious. Another time she wanted a Pontiac Fiero. She wasn't sure how to ask Mom and Dad. Pat woke up and noticed a note under our door. The note read " By the time you read this I will be far,far away... in dream land". Pat read the rest of the note: ten convincing reasons to buy the Fiero. The one that still sticks in our mind is."I'll look so cute in it". The parents weren't too sure that the car was in her best interests, the note convinced them and she became the owner of the Fiero!
This is Pat writing now:
This child brought many adventures into our lives. One in particular was sort of embarrassing to me . Across the alley from our garage, a crew of young men were painting the water tower. There they were up on the scaffold, and they had a bullhorn which they utilized if any cute girls were around. One day I pulled up, driving Rachel's car. The bullhorn starting sounding. I must admit I was a little pleased, but when I got out of the car, one of the guys hollered, "False alarm!"
We chose her name because it means "God's Little Lamb." But her name is a little misleading. She not exactly a meek little lamb. She is feisty, and not afraid to stick up for what she believes. She is unfailingly loyal to those she loves. She has a wicked sense of humor! She has a heart of gold.
We love you, dear Rachel. Have a wonderful, birthday, and a wonderful year!
