Summer's ending...Rachael's growing

Rachael has been getting bigger and bigger. She is recently very focused on taking turns, putting her shoes on, and playing ring around the rosy. She also has started taking a toddler gymnastics class which is probably going to teach her how to successfully catapult herself out of her crib. We have had an amazing summer and we are off to Seattle and Portland for a visit with Ganna, Goomba, Uncle Joe, and Aunt Lee. Mike will be running the Portland marathon.

Super sweeper



Here is Rachael helping sweep the kitchen. She loves to make a mess so she can help clean it up. We have created a monster...a monster of frantic cleaning...she must take after the Van Gilder side...the genes I didn't inherit.
