Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from the four Rebarchiks (well, one of us was saying "bah, humbug!")
If I were with-it enough to send cards this year, this would have been on it.

Lilly's first face-to-face with the man in the red suit.

Getting Ready for Christmas

We have been very busy getting things ready for Christmas. Here are a few hilights:


Our big girl, decorating the tree.
I love this face!

Decorating some Christmas treats, with a little help from Daddy.

Nothing beats popcorn and a good Christmas movie with Daddy. So proud of our very first Gingerbread House!

November Update

I know, I stink at keeping the blog current. But really, you're only here for the pictures anyway, right? So, here ya go!

Baby Rebarchik FAQs

Q. What are you having?
A. A precious baby BOY!

Q. Is Lilly excited?
A. In those rare moments she isn't completely thinking about herself, yes, she's very excited. She is two, you know.

Q. When are you due?
A. March 12... Frank is guessing February 23.... I'm dead set on keeping this baby in until March. Neither of us really have a say in that, do we?

Q. How are you feeling?
A. I'm finally done being sick! YEA!!! It only took 18 weeks to get past it, but he's worth it!

Q. Have you chosen a name?
A. Not yet... it's being discussed on a constant basis at our house. We're open for suggestions, but don't be offended if we don't use yours. And YES, we will tell you as soon as we have one picked out. Anyone who knows me knows that I'm in to all things embroidered and personalized!

Q. Will there be a Frank Edward Rebarchik, V?
A. IV has ruled that out. The legacy dies here.

Q. Have you felt him move?
A. Yes, lots of times. But he's not a mover and shaker like his sister was. We're hoping that he stays this mellow once he's out.

Handley Street Festival 10/11/08

Our awesome community group had a booth at the Handley Street Festival, to sell cheap sodas and get the word out about our church. It was a TON of work, but we had a great time together.

Train Ride

Our community group went on a train ride to Dallas to have dinner together. I can't begin to describe how much Lilly loves the train! Here are a few of our favorite pictures:

The worst blogger ever

I know, I have become the worst blogger ever. Since I last posted, we've had a lot going on. On August 25, Lilly turned two. That same day, I went back to work. Everything's been a whirlwind since then. But since I know you only check this blog to see cute pictures of my girl, I'll cut the small talk and post some pics!
Lilly's first haircut 8-22-08. It's amazing how still she'll be for a sucker.
Happy 2nd Birthday, Lillian Cate!
Our beautiful, and very tired, birthday girl.
