Almost born on Valentine's Day

 
Her mom didn't want her to share a birthday
with Valentine's Day's so her
wish was granted and Rachel was born on
February 16,1998 .
Her dad was going to school at BYU in Utah so she's
a Utah baby.
 
Rachel Eunhye Kang
 
our first granddaughter and second grandchild.
 
I watched her mom go through hours and hours of labor to
bring this sweet girl into the world. She was welcomed into
this world with open arms and hearts.
 
 
Rachel's 15 this year!
(Wow, where's time gone!)
Rachel cultivates many wonderful things in her life. She
plays and loves the piano. (remember her playing with a chopstick when her arm was broken). She's now starting to teach, which I
know she'll be great at. Rachel has always been
a lover of books.
 
 
 
 
Rachel's a lover of nature. When she visited us from
Las Vegas at about six I loved watching her out my kitchen
window as she walked around our yard just looking
at everything and enjoying being out.
 
 
 
 
 
Rachel's the oldest of six girls.She's been a wonderful
sister and loved each new little baby
as they came into her family.
 
This year Rachel has started attending early morning seminary.
A class at the church just for the youth....six in the morning.
Their studying the New Testament this year
and Rachels loving it.
 
 
Last year I had the blessing of going to China with Rachel.
We worked in an orphanage for five weeks.
Rachel was so at ease with the children and workers
and they loved her as she loved them.
I found myself saying,"I wish I could be more
like that" .
 
Rachel's very loved by all her family, aunts, uncles,cousins
and Grandma's and Grandpa's.
 
She's my favorite oldest grandchild.

 I've always had a bird feeder, for years now. They bring alot of joy to me, nature so up close and personal. Now that we don't have any pets, we've loved having our bird feeders up again. We have this one tree out back and we have a little of everything for them. A little bird bath, three feeders and a suet feeder. There's usually ten to twenty birds in the tree at all times. Lots of beautiful finches, lots of yard birds, lots of black birds (who are quite noisy) red wing black birds and yellow headed black birds. We finally identified one that we couldn't figure out and its a Evening Grosbeak. Some come and we never see them again, just passing through. But, it's our little obsession right now, gives me something to do every morning. But, dang those birds are eating us out of house and home!

 chop, chop, chop were the sounds I woke up too yesterday. I've been hearing those sounds alot these last few weeks as my manly man has made hot sauce and salsa galore. But..............this morning it was different. I woke up to a beautiful bowl of tabbouleh...my favorite salad. The combination of the bulgar, parsley, cucumber and tomatoes just tickles my palet. My favorite part this time of the year are the pomegranate seeds, they add such color and flavor.(I really shouldn't be eating it but I chewed extra well ummm) Oooops a jar of grape juice just broke, manly man is canning....be right back. O.K. that's cleaned up and I'm heading out for a long overdue walk. It's a lovely day, blue skies and sun.

all is well

My daughter Becky should be home from the hospital soon, her surgery went well. Next the mourning for what was and will never be again, she had a lot of good cries last night. They weighed the breast and it was seven and a half pounds! I knew it was close to ten. Like she said jokingly she was looking forward to getting "alot off her chest". When I talked to her on the phone this morning I asked her how in the world did she ever get anything done with a two year old and 5mon. old! I did manage to get us all clean and fed by eleven. Is that good? And to think I raised six! Todays is Becky's Abbie's birthday, we hope to go to the movies this afternoon. I guess on the way home from the hospital they are picking up a new kitty for the children. They had promised them one when they moved in to their house, so how wonderful of them to realize what a good time it would be to bring one home. My children are so wise in so many things.Well........baby calls! Happy Day to you a
