  • Jonny is 5

    And Andrew is not, but he is counting the days (nine weeks apart is a long time when you are almost 5)! We had fun at this little party Jono and Bonnie gave for Jonny on the 2nd of July.



    The cake Bonnie made in 20 minutes was a hit!!
    The food was great too!

    This is the third summer these 4 have enjoyed getting to swim together!


    Last year!


    And the year before!

  • ON choosing a name

    Long before we were even expecting we had a little boy name picked out. "Thomas Mitchell Rath"
    But we have never been completely happy with a girl name, it seams we have been looking for all of 5.5 years.
    So this week feels like a real victory to have a name we both love!

    And it is....

    Elliana Kate Rath
    Ellie for short


    Elliana is prounced  "Ellie-Anna" The first "a" is like the "o" in John

    It is a Hebrew name that means "My God has answered"


    I found this song after we decided on her name.

  • My first baby




    My first baby got married last Saturday!

            ....and I cried....

    I didn't give birth to him nor did I "raise" him
    but I DID love him with my little God given mommy heart
    I did hold him and pray for him, kissed him and changed his diaper a time or two.
    I taught him his colors and how to play tough.
    I cleaned his room and helped him dress.
    I read books he liked so we could talk about them.

    And as I hope will happen with my "real" children one day he became my friend!

    All I could think about Saturday as he stood there waiting for his bride to come down that aisle was "that was my baby, he was once small enough for me a 4 year old to hold in my arms!"

    I'm so happy for him and I know Elizabeth is Gods chosen one for him!

    As I sit here expecting my "11th" baby I realize I have a lot more weddings to cry at!
