Look at those two faces to the left.
One little girl is the mother of the other.
Rachel (mother) is on the left. Arianna (daughter) is on the right.
See the resemblance?
As I look at both babies, I can't help but think about life when Rachel was my little baby and I was her mother. I had three older children at that time and as soon as Rachel learned to walk she went right to running, trying to keep up with her older siblings. She got bumps and bruises because of this. Most the time she was trying to walk so fast she was on the verge of falling. One time Rachel got into some rough and tumble play with Robby, Becky and Russ. Rachel ended up with a broken collar bone. I'll tell you that those crazy days gave this mother gray hair.

Arianna has a twin brother Eli, as you can see in the second photo. Two babies at once, but no older children. This means different challenges for their mother and father.

For me, it's nice just being Grandma.
