So, I finally added the followers gadget to my blog!
Right now I have 10 readers...but I know there are more of you out there! DON'T BE SHY!
Seriously, it's crazy how many people tell me that they read my blog or saw something on the blog or have friends who read my blog and I had no idea. I don't hear from so many of you or even know that you are out there! So, humor me and let me know!!! It's super easy...just look over to the left on the sidebar where is says "FOLLOWERS" and then sign in to follow. Or, you could leave comments....those are super fun!
And because posts are so much better with a picture (or 2 or 3)...I leave you with proof that I will soon have 3 mobile and active children!
Abigail is scooting and about to crawl!!!! AHHHHHHH!!! I just want it to slow down. I can't believe how quick and fast she is growing. It makes me think I might just have to try for a 4th. Ha!!!! Not ANYTIME soon though and probably not ever...but it just makes me sad sometimes that she could be (and probably should be for my sanity) the last.
These 2 were cheering her on the other day when she first started her fun new skill and actually asked for me to take their picture (remember the quality is not so good because of my broken flash)
So, don't forget the original reason for this post...
FOLLOW ME!!! Please? Pretty please?

love reading your blog and watching your children grow. I can't remember the last time I actually saw you in person but I feel like I know what's going on in your life b/c of your blog so thanks for sharing! (and for your prayers for us-it is definitely a ministry)
Ok I read your blog all the time and I feel like I need to explain who I am. I am Bethany Winter Vaughn's mother - she is the former Children's Director at Trinity. Also I go to FBC Sylacauga, so I have followed your entire adoption process through Ryan and Kelly Akers, so I have been a stalker for a long time! I really enjoy reading about your precious family! Thanks for letting me watch your family grow!
I'll come out of my closet and follow you Rachel! I'm an old Crossroads-er, a good friend of Christie Lehren's, and a big fan of your blog! It was funny because I called her the other day and she was just leaving your house, so I was like, "Well, I know exactly what her house looks and what all of her kids are doing and how often Ellie Kate uses the potty, so I feel like I was just there with you!"
I love your blog-- it's amazing to see how far you've come as a family since I was at UGA (you guys were in the middle of the adoption process, I believe, when I graduated...).
Yay for almost crawling! We are at that stage at our house too - so much fun. And I know exactly what you mean about it being exciting and a little sad at the same time - my baby is growing up too fast! I have the quote "It won't be like this for long" on my fridge - and try to appreciate and enjoy every single day with my girls while they are 'babies'....

p.s. love that your girls are wearing matching tops - so cute!
Yay!! I'm a follower :) Now, you have to follow mine!! j/k! i love and also get sad seeing what abigail is doing b/c my baby is a month behind her and i can't handle it. they were just born!!! i was just catching up on your blog and i love the friday thing.....i want to do it, but my house is always a wreck :(
i love your house!!!
Ok I'm coming out.. I work at State Farm in AL. I love your blog!! I check it almost everyday. I love watching you kids grow.. You are such a good mom and wife. Thanks for letting me watch your beautiful family.
I'm de-lurking too! I used to follow your thread on the old BBC LOL! That's how long I have been a lurker! Anyways I just loved your story and was sad to see the old thread go but glad you had your blog.
I'm laughing because I totally feel ya sister about wishing for followers and wanting to know who is actually making my blog ticker go up. I found you through the kids rooms tour and thought is was cool that we have matching backgrounds. Then the more I looked around your blog I realized we have way more in common than our backgrounds. I also designed my own blog and have pimped several of my friends blogs as well.
But I guess the biggest tie we have is the fertility issue. I too have been on the infertility roller coaster a time or two in my life. First son took five years TTC, then the second one took one surgery, three IUI's and two IVF's. He is four months now and I'm already hoping for a "free gift with purchase" baby...HA!
I look forward to reading about your precious family and discovering the rest of our similarities!
Hey Rachel,
De-lurking here to let you know how much I love reading your blog and following your precious family. I don't really remember how I found your blog, maybe through the old BBC? But, I enjoy clicking over here every couple of days and catching up with you. Your children are precious and you have a beautiful home. My oldest DD,Abigail, just finished up Kindy also. I am also finding myself wanting time to slow down! My time with my two girls is just flying by it seems. Anna-Claire will be 3 in November and it just seems impossible. Sorry for the novel. Thanks for dragging me out of lurkville. ;) Oh, one of my best friends from childhood is on staff with CCC at UT Knoxville. I asked her one day if she knew you guys. ;)

What beautiful blue eyes!
I have another friend from high school who just put a similar post on her blog, asking people to make some type of comment. I've been convicted-
Your children are all so beautiful!
