Anna is 4!

Anna is four years old! And oh my how she's grown! She's reading on her own, writing short notes to her friends and family, dancing, playing soccer, swimming, and starting her first year at Sacred Heart with Karen.We've had a fun, busy summer (more on that later) and, although it's sad to see it wind down, we're all excited to start the new year.

 

Anna spent the spring preparing for her first dance recital, which occurred in June. She did an excellent job!

Anna's first love is reading - no matter what, she is always happy to read a book. She is now capable of reading books at the third grade level.

Anna got to travel to Monterey with her family this summer and see the famous aquarium there.

She enjoyed her trip back east to visit her grandparents. Here is a great picture of her at Sesame Place.

Here Anna is enjoying the Howard County Fair in Maryland with her brother and cousin.

Anna starts preschool at Sacred Heart next week and is very excited for new friends and challenges. She's signed up for swimming classes and gymnastics. We'll celebrate her birthday with a party in our courtyard - we're expecting quite a crowd! We'll be sure to post some pictures.
