haircuts, Rachel basketball, front door and present from Rachel

I'm going to start with a few recent pictures and end with my favorite birthday present Rachel has ever given me...

[fresh haircuts]

Rachel had a basketball tournament in Rosedale today.  They won two games and lost one.  There was some tough competition... the girls did great!  So fun to watch! :)

I really need to figure out how to use my nice camera in a gym.  I did some research awhile back, but need to review.  My phone pictures just don't do it.  Ugh.

[Mike did some decorating today.  He's so good at it... even made the boxes from barn board that was left at my grandparents' house.  Love it!]

[When I was out taking a picture of the front entrance I looked in the window and loved the view.. had to take a picture.]

[I wanted a new picture for the wallpaper on my phone background and was looking online for pictures.  Decided to take my own! :)]

Rachel has been talking about the fact that she didn't think she'd have my present done until a couple days after my birthday.  She was working on it at school.  She came home with it on Friday... wow, it was so sweet.  Have to include here just incase I lose the original.  Love her...

Keep smiling!
