Kate and Lily's new baby cousin!

Rachael Elizabeth was born on Oct 18. She is the first girl for my sister after two boys. She's a cutie! I got to be in on the C-section. It was wonderful to see her being born.

Lily and Kate's 2 yo birthday party

For Kate and Lily's birthday, Phil and I planned a pony ride/petting zoo event in their own backyard. We called it Elmo's Wild, Wild West Party (the name of their favorite video). Attending the event were 2 ponies, a donkey, a sheep, 2 baby ducks, 2 chickens, a goat, a bunny rabbit, family and neighbors.















Our neighbor, Don, photographed the event so Phil and I could be a part! Thanks, Don! Kate on left.

Grammie's (Phil's mom) birthday is the 4th, Lily and Kate's is the 5th and Phil's is the 6th and his sister's is the 20th. So we've done a lot of celebrating lately!!
