The Hamilton Times: May 2013
http://hamiltontimes.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 24, 2013. Well, I should be heading into work, but I wanted to write about the experience while it was still fresh in my mind. Oh, I wanted to squash the boy/girl heartrate myth too. Lindsey was 142 BPM and Owen was 140 BPM. Sorry if our blog has turned into a baby update blog. I'm not very good at keeping a journal and feel like some of these things just need to be documented, and I'd love for family and friends to be able to enjoy them as well. Owen proving that he's still a boy. It's Noah'...

The Hamilton Times: 24 Weeks
http://hamiltontimes.blogspot.com/2013/06/24-weeks.html
Friday, June 21, 2013. This week has been a wonderful whirlwind of fun with friends and family. Here is the week in review. Monday - Work from 9-5, then dinner at Cafe Rio where I had an awesome choking on cheese episode. Jon's such a trooper for being understanding when I get food stuck. It doesn't happen very often, but when it does it is a little scary. After dinner we headed to the hospital to meet the brand new baby! Begins. Any input on either would be much appreciated. He was so excited! He was pr...

The Hamilton Times: March 2012
http://hamiltontimes.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 30, 2012. He Loves Me Because I'm Crazy. Happy Birthday to me and the awesome carrier we'll use someday. Having a little bit of cash left in that sock drawer was eating away at me though. Silly? Yes I should have been using it to get a couple new shirts for work or something practical, that I might actually need in the next few months, but no, I kept searching for that last item on my list. My dream diaper bag. Is it weird to have a dream diaper bag? I texted Jon right after I bought it tod...

The Hamilton Times: An Overdue Update
http://hamiltontimes.blogspot.com/2015/03/an-overdue-update.html
Thursday, March 12, 2015. So, what finally motivated me to update the blogosphere on our happenings? Well, I'm supposed to be writing a talk (sermon) to share at church on Sunday and I'm feeling a little stumped, so this is a great exercise to get my writing juices flowing and procrastinate what I should really be doing, all while Owen naps. We both smiled and teared up as we responded, "are there really two? March 12, 2015 at 6:11 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Beth and Mike Barrie. Josh and Ju...

The Hamilton Times: November 2012
http://hamiltontimes.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 6, 2012. It's Not Just Me. So, I promise after this post that I'll just start writing in a journal, because this is supposed to be the Hamilton Times, not Rachael's Rants and Ramblings. I came across a post on a friend's blog today that really impacted me because it was so straight forward and honest. She said. And a few of my favorite portions of the Infertility Etiquette Guide from Resolve, the National Infertility Association. I've shared this with my family before, but figure, a...

The Hamilton Times: November 2011
http://hamiltontimes.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 22, 2011. Ugh, we still haven't been able to figure out how to get our France post to show that we posted it less than 5 months ago. Oh well, at least Thanksgiving is only TWO days away! Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. If you know me, you're probably thinking, "ANY holiday where you get to eat as much as you want would be your favorite holiday! I am thankful for so much, and I won't bore you with my list, but I will just say that at the top of it is my wonderful wife, Racha...

The Hamilton Times: December 2011
http://hamiltontimes.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 11, 2011. Jon and I are jumping on the Christmas Card bandwagon this year and decided that we needed a family photo taken for said Christmas card. We got a new fancy camera for Christmas this year and asked our friend Scott to test it out for us by taking the photos. We think that he did a fantastic job even if two of the photo subjects were a little squirmy. Just Us in our coordinating sweaters. With the squirmy creatures. My favorite outtake that Jon says no to putting on the card.

Monday, November 11, 2013. Rachael's Recounting of the Twin's Birth. I know I need to document this not only for my sake, but for Owen and for Lindsey, however it has taken me more than three weeks to find the courage to go through all of these emotions again. How do you write about the happiest and saddest day of your life without reliving it all? I would never erase her from my memories and I would never choose to not be her mother. Our family photo taken by Erin at Lindsey's blessing. Everyone was war...

The Hamilton Times: Nursery Planning
http://hamiltontimes.blogspot.com/2013/05/nursery-planning.html
Friday, May 10, 2013. This is the way I'd like to orient the cribs under the window in the nursery. This is the crib that I am in love with. but I could go for the IKEA equivalent. So, that's hopefully what the cribs will look like, white and modern and very streamlined. They convert to toddler beds too so I'm thinking we'll get a few years use out of them before switching to bunk beds. It's Noah's Ark themed, two by two! See, bright animals in pairs! It's called "It's Gonna Rain". So, that's all I've go...
