Rachel's Birthday!!

Rachel! It's your birthday! We think you are the most
wonderful person and hope that your day is GREAT!

From Mom-
Birthday Girl! - When you and your friends performed this at your graduation I saw it as your goodbye to high school, farewell to home & family song. I still get a heart-string tug every time I hear it :) Love ya tons, Mom

And what do you think of this photo taken when you were sweet 16 and just back from a Coldplay concert? Thanks for getting me on their fan list :)

From Dad-
Happy Birthday Wooz! When you were a real little youngster you had four songs that we had to sing with you each night so that the sandman would come. Here's one of them: Love, Dad http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLUV74hxa34

Editor wants to add a Schneider Trivia Question: what was the song Pah requested each night at bedtime along with Popcorn Popping, Twinkle, Twinkle, and Five Little Ducks?

From John- This one is a classic. I heard some Germans singing it in Europe during the Euro 2012 tournament this summer, naturally I thought of Captain Woozenschnitzel.

From Lindsay-
I loved sharing our first ultrasound pic with you because you were so sweet about it, replying back quickly with your excited remarks and then, 'looks like all is well!' I thought that was really nice comment and it helped me feel more confident about our new pregnancy. I appreciated your educated opinion! It's nice to get a medical view, AND, we hadn't heard the report by the Doctor yet so I was wondering a little, if everything was cool, but thought I'd share the picture anyway. ;) I love how you have a nice calming and soothing way about you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7K0Dp2M2fE

Rachel this song makes me think of the doctor you will someday be. Giving out great advice to your patients in a chilled out and kind way.

From David-
A nice memory I have of Rachel has actually been during her past two birthdays. On her last two birthdays she invited me to come to her birthday party and to the birthday dinner at a restaurant (2011: Cafe Paesan, 2010: Red Robin) To me, this memory shows that Rachel will include people by making them feel important. I didn't really know anyone at the parties/dinners (except her roommates), but it was a nice and thoughtful way of Rachel making everyone be included without making a big show of it. Another thing I admired too from this was that you could tell the people she invited to her party/dinner were actually genuine friends and not people that she invited to have "lots of numbers." In short, genuine and inclusive. Keep it up Rach when you're 22!

From Melissa-
I remember when I told Rachel that Ian and I were engaged. She said, 'do you need a flower girl?' I hadn't really thought about it but it was perfect- she did the thinking about it for me. She was an absolutely wonderful flower girl. Recently when I was in Utah, she drove me to the airport. It was so helpful and great to visit with her. I love that she is so thoughtful and considerate.

From Spencer-
I couldn't find it on YouTube, but Hulu has it: Neil Patrick Harris plays the "Doogie Howser, M.D." theme song on Saturday Night Live.
Dr Rach will be a great doctor just like Doogie Howser was.

From Char-
I Run for Life
"If you ask her why she is still running she'll tell you it makes her complete. I run for hope, I run to feel, I run for the truth, For all that is real....we will be running as we have before. Running for answers, Running for more. " This song reminds me of your running which I think is so great. And also I think Melissa Etheridge's voice is bold and strong - just like you.
(I hope you can ignore that this song is supposed to be about breast cancer because I think those lyrics are quite meaningful taken out of context)
Happy Birthday! Love Char.

We love you!!  Happy Birthday!!
