Belated Birthday Post

Finally! Almost a month has past & I'm just now posting Anna's official birthday post. On her birthday I did a little birthday interview with her, but I was waiting to post until I took the rocking chair picture that I do every year on the girls' birthdays in the rocking chair I had as a little girl. This summer has been such a whirl wind that whenever I'd think about taking the picture we'd be out of town, sick, in pj's or swimsuits, etc. The pics above are a sweet look at my growing girl - they aren't good quality bc they are pictures of scrapbook photos - older pics are really hard to find on my computer. I love seeing how God is growing her into a precious young girl - she gets more beautiful to us every year.

Birthday stats at her well child check: Weight - 36 pounds (5th percentile) Height - 43 1/4 in (10th percentile) tiny & petite!

your dream day - eat brownies, make Fancy (my aunt's dog) come to play at our house, buy a dog & a horse, & go to the zoo

Anna is God's gift to our family. She has a precious heart! She loves her sister, animals, riding horses, snuggling in the mornings, desserts, jumping on the trampoline, playing with her friends, making up imaginative games, going to church, having movie night with popcorn and m&m's, playing board games & UNO, dressing up, playing on the computer, getting tickled, riding her stick horse, school, snacks, dresses, & PBS. She doesn't like getting her face wet, having her picture taken, waiting, doing things she's not good at, cleaning up, having her hair brushed, wearing pants or shorts, or everyone watching her. She challenges us & makes our hearts burst with love every single day. We love this girl!
