| Father daughter banquet in February |
 |
| The kids played spring soccer through PCS. Nothing super strenuous, and the girls got to be on the same team. It was the perfect speed for our family. |
 |
| Annie adores kindergarten and her teacher Mrs. Killough. She does great on our 2 homeschool days, but makes it clear she’d rather be at school! She started kinder on 9/1-no fear, only excitement. I hear her playing school at home with Ruby and pretending to be Mrs. Killough.she sounds bossy:) |
 |
| Grandma made her an amazing “Laura and Mary” dress as Annie calls it. Adorable! |

Annie has always had her own language that cracks us up. She doesn’t let not knowing a word stop her, and just makes up something close because the girl is gonna TALK. She is such a talker! Some things I’ve written down are:
Why not? We’re on convation!! (Vacation)/Look there’s mr mayor! (Talking about mr Swanner in carline)/Shucks“Kuh tater bus” for Decatur bus/Round of a clause for round of applause/Apple critters for apple fritters/Gasp! What communion elephants??? When communion elements were mentioned at church/Beef turkey for beef jerky/Ice kickles for icicles/She nippled me (trying to say Goldie nipped me)/Do they have peanuts on the Bread?! (Talking about Sesame seeds on her hamburger bun which evidently she loves)/This one is flated (for inflated)/Praying for everyone we are “sheeping” (we are part of a shepherding ministry at church and pray for our “sheep”)/Great Friday for Good Friday/samage for massage/fairy go round (for a merry go round)
Getting us to practice “he is risen” motions for Easter service
Kids saying she’s a pot head (literally-she had a pot of her head and was being goofy)
Onomatopoeia-learned from her teacher and kept talking about it!
She loves to read and has made progress to become a great kindergarten reader! She quickly checked bob books off the list and loves picking easy readers out at the library. She reads with a lot of expression and volume as you can imagine.
I had put her to bed and was in the hall doing laundry. She came out to go potty and said, I already miss you! She is very loving and demonstrative about it.
Slowest eater ever-still have to set timers to make her hurry up. If it’s something she likes it’s no problem, but otherwise it’s torture! She does not like pbj which is a problem bc we have it daily. She just has to suffer through it.
Loves playing basketball in driveway-she’s more competitive and worked at Getting baskets in hoop. Loves family bball games when we play
Signs of summer-Line on nose and green chlorine hair
Lost first tooth on 8/7 while camping, 8/21 lost her second tooth while golfing in Decatur!
She’s a great cleaner still-I can put her on any cleaning task and she’s fast and does a good job! She’s also good at organizing and keeping things neat. She organized the attic for me once! For fun!
Very sensitive to movies and sad stories right now-Cried hard about benji-very sad about animals being separated from owner or mom and babies, cries about watching Alice in wonderland and similar “scary “cartoons, yet loves watching Star Wars. She’d rather watch a show than movie bc she’s not as emotionally invested.
Can you just glue hot it back? (For anything that breaks around the house)
Accepted Jesus-1/5/21 after big talk w Steven (she had been having more and more God talks with us since the summer), baptized 1/14/21
“I gotta scream my screams out!” (dance party in the living room )
