It hard to believe but little Annie is almost 5 months old! As of her 4 month check up she was 12lbs 60z and 25 inches tall. She is still pretty little but hopefully she will chunk up soon. Right now she looks a lot like Rylee but it seems to change depending on the week. She LOVES her sisters and is fascinated by them. She really likes Rylee and Rylee loves to take care of her.
She is very sweet and loves to be held. She is getting easier and has decided she likes to take naps in crib, yeah for mommy. We love having her in our home and watching her grow.

September 17th was a special day for our family, we got to celebrate one of our favorite people. Chris's grandma turned eighty and we all decided to throw her a party! She's a popular girl and had lots of friends and family show up to celebrate this special day. Anyone who meets Barbara would agree that she is the funniest, sweetest, kindest, spunkiest, most caring, free spirited person you will ever meet. She means so much to us and we love her dearly. For me she is the only grandma that I have known and I feel blessed to have her in my life. The girls refer to her as the "real" grandma." The grandma at the cabin and they love her to pieces. We loved getting to see this party all come together for no one more deserving than her. We can't wait to do this again for her 90th birthday. We are looking forward to many more years of happiness with her.

The hat boxes are her cake!
