Rachel is 27 years old today! When she was little we called her our little "pumpkin" because she was born on Halloween. While most people dislike having a holiday birthday, our family has had the most fun celebrating Rachel's. Having a holiday birthday makes it seem like the whole world is celebrating with you.
Rachel has been such a blessing in our family. As a child (and even now) she was never competitive, so there was never any sibling rivalry between her and Becca or Jared. She was always loving and sweet to her sibs. She gave them compliments freely. She was good about sharing toys. She was determined to be the peacemaker in the family- and she succeeded. What a great home environment that created!
Rachel has grown into such an amazing woman! I am very proud of her and all of her accomplishments. She is just the sweetest spirit, and a delight to be around. I am frequently surprised how capable she is in any situation she finds herself in. She is willing to take on any challenge and venture out of her comfort zone.
She really seems to enjoy her role as a full time homemaker, and she is truly a great mother with tons of patience and a great sense of humor.
I am not just proud of Rachel- I am in awe of her!
