She’s 10! But I remember!
Look at her now! Rachel still loves unicorns – and now is old enough to build the robotic unicorn Pop Pop got her!
But we can remember long ago – when Megan was filled with anticipation!
When there were just two heffalumps, but we all knew the third was coming soon.
Now there are three heffalumps!
We can remember when Rachel was brand new! So new there is cleanup to be finished – but Rachel announces her arrival immediately!
A brand new heffalump is here and there is joy!
Rachel’s first formal portrait!
We keep the tags on so we don’t lose her!
For the first time Mommy and Daddy – sometimes known as Megan and Chris – can feel her real presence.
Dad holds his new bundle of joy.
We all enjoy the warmth of a newborn. (Click on the first image and then scroll through the images to see the peace of a sleeping newborn – and her face as she awakens to her new life!
Now for some introductions!
Dad shows Jake his new sister,
while Annie looks in wonder.
Again, click and scroll – introductions are special occasions!
After which Jake gives his seal of approval, and
leads the parade through the hospital corridors.
Granny Winter and Pop Pop Wheeler get their time with Rachel.
Megan gets a special introduction.
Annie and Jake give their approval! “When can we take her home?”
So tiny – Rachel is home!

But they both need a nap!
Now there are three heffalumps! Pop Pop is doomed!
