Classic ANNIE moments...

Sometimes, I am convinced this GIRL...will be the END of ME!!!

If she wants something (in this case, it was a juice box) and I'm busy (switching the laundry), she just finds a way! She is DETERMINED and SMART! She can also be SASSY! She is CONFIDENT about who she is and what she can accomplish!

She is a great BIG sister, here: she and Elisabeth are, after Annie decided they needed whiskers, since they had spent the entire hour before this crawling all over the house pretending to be CATS...she plans activities like this almost every afternoon and Elisabeth is always happy to oblige and goes along with whatever plan ANNIE has in mind!

I could publish a book with pictures like these! This GIRL, this GIRL...I wouldn't trade her for anything...I just need to remind myself of that, at least once a day when she has her CLASSIC "ANNIE" moment or two or three! AHHHH!

I think it's hilarious that she put whiskers on Elisabeth, and that Elisabeth thought it was funny! At least they have eachother =).

This sweetheart is too clever for her own good! What a delight for all of us who just love her... Mom just deserves and needs to take breaks more often so she is able to see the humor in Annie moments for what they are... moments in time, a very precious time in the life of little ones. They grow all too quickly. Have fun with it MOM. She'll grow to be a magnificent woman, I'm sure. Strong and determined and beautiful in every way!

My oh my how we miss that sweet Annie. mackenzie is just so sad that you took those girls and moved them just so far away. She has named every stuffed animal and every baby either Annie or Elisabeth. We miss you guys.

Annie is just like you were, remember that. Both your girls are like you. Sweet and loving just as well a mischeivious and sassy. Love you guys! Give them a hug from Aunt Nini

They are just too cute! You lucky Mom, you! As exasperating as those moments can be, I'm glad you can take a step back and enjoy them for what they are. Way to go, Jenna! You're such a good mom!

Sounds like me Allie. Sassy, that's what I call her. And as animated as they come. Great hearing from you!
