We have a teenager in the house!

Hard to believe, but Annaliese is 13! She is growing into such a lovely young lady. She is an excellent student, works hard, and likes to do things well. Her teachers always have wonderful things to say about her and tell me that 'it's a joy to have her in class.' 


I can count on her to get things done when she's asked (unless she's in the middle of a good book) and we often leave her in charge for short periods of time. 

Annaliese loves basketball and soccer and has improved at both sports over the past year. She spends her free time reading, building legos, and playing the piano. She likes spending time at Auntie Kim's house, where she and Elias like baking and playing soccer together! Most of the time, she's pretty easy-going and generally, a happy person to be around! 

She has two close friends, Esme and Emma, and they have such a great time whenever they are together. 

For her birthday, we had Esme and Emma spend the night. Kyle took them all to The Eureka Room, a local escape room. They made it out with less than a minute to spare!



They filled the rest of their time with hide-and-seek in the dark, Twister, 'keep the balloon off the floor with your head' and other silly games. There was so much laughter!
