#3-Another step for Annelise is singing and counting! She can count to 10 and has begun to sing with us as a family!! Yay! Her favorite is Jesus Loves Me, but she will join in on most all other songs- it's precious to hear her singing to the Lord- especially with her deep, raspy voice. #4-And I am very happy to say that Annelise has memorized her 1st scripture: Proverb 3:5- "Trust in the Lord with all your heart." We have worked so hard on it! She is so proud!! She truly isn't a baby anymore!

Here is the 1st tooth Caleb lost. He lost it while eating a sandwich at Newk's!

We went to the beach the 1st week in August! It was such a blessing to be able to get away for some much needed R&R. We truly had the best time! Annelise's cough was very manageable that week by the grace of God, so we were able to sleep a bit more as well as enjoying the beach, the sand and the pools.We named this trip "The Need Peepee Beep (Beach) Trip!" Annelise had just been potty trained a couple of weeks before, and an 8 hour trip took us 12 hours instead! Its seemed like about every 30 minutes Annelise had to go. She learned how to go on the side of the road on this trip! She couldn't say beach properly but her pronunciation of "beep" was precious.

I love this shot!
