I was going through the photos I’ve taken at home since the start of this year, and I couldn’t help but notice how much my little Annalise has grown. It’s been a big year for her — she turned 6, lost her first tooth, finally got tall enough to ride the froggy ride at John’s Incredible, learned to ride her bike without the training wheels, and learned how to play connect 4 (even won one game against her mommy). Thank you God, for blessing me with a beautiful little soul that has such a tender heart for the Gospel.
