It has been a long time since we’ve posted anything here! We’ve had a very busy summer, buying and renovating a new house. We finally moved in a couple of weeks ago, and continue doing work along the way. Here are a few recent pictures of Anna, and a few pictures of the new house!
It’s spring – new outfits and scraped up noses.
A few recent pictures of Anna, and a video of her drawing herself with friends from preschool – Sophia and Madeline. (They are hiding under a cave in a hidden place.)
I don’t know why the last picture is upside down, sorry.
We went on a family trip to Arizona in January (Anna’s first plane ride! Cacti!) and had a professional photographer take a whole bunch of pictures. Here are a few of the highlights:
Anna tried ice skating for the first time today, and she really liked it. She was pretty comfortable on the skates, and just sort of shuffled around by herself.
Happy birthday to our Anna Banana!
Here’s a little holiday message from Anna for all of you.
Anna and I went down to the lake today to watch the swans, which have stopped by to hang out on Lake Monona for a while. They’re pretty loud! Anna was more excited about getting to slide around on a little bit of ice on the shore. Soon the whole lake will be frozen and we’ll get to go “ice skating”!
We’re nearly a month past it and the candy is gone, but it’s never too late to post Halloween photos!
Anna continues drawing and writing up a storm. Her favorite word to write is “HOOT,” since she can write those letters very well. Maria found an easel, and Anna has loved having that around so she can draw any time. Here’s a video of her drawing the whole family (and also fighting a cold).
