Ok so Anna had her 11th birthday today...UNBELIEVABLE.  She has grown from this tiny little baby girl who just fit in the crook of my arm, into a crawling toddler who did not care what she wore and how much food she had on her face, to a kindergartner who only knew the letters of the alphabet, to a firstgrader who could read short stories and write, to a very good reader and has excellent hand writting, and now she is a young lady who makes sure her hair is combed and clothes are clean and helps cook and clean and just makes my life so much more worth living.  She is not perfect, but she is such a tenderhearted little girl who will stand up for the ones being picked on and is always the one who will see someone standing sideline in the church gym and goes over and makes certain that they are included.  She is my Anna and I am sooo proud of the young lady she is becoming.  I could not have asked for a better daughter and God has certainly blessed me with her.  I love you sweetheart and may you continue to follow your heavenly Father and grow in Him.
