There have been a couple of exciting things happen recently:
1) We found out we're expecting baby #2! We are very excited and Anneliese can't wait to be a big sister. Right now, she is a bit partial to us having a girl because she says she doesn't like boys but I'm sure she'll love whatever God gives us. ;)
2) We recently were reminded of just how very smart our little girl is! Since she will be in St. Ignatius' 3-year-old program next year, she had to come up to the school to do an entrance test. They do these tests for all incoming 3, 4 and 5 year olds and they're just a variety of questions and tasks that a teacher asks the child to do to see what he or she already knows. I was so nervous before I brought Anneliese in. Not that I didn't think she would do well, I just wasn't sure if she would "perform" for a stranger. Well, I had no need to worry. Our child did great! She started off a little slow and was hesitant to go with someone new but once she got started, she really shined! Anneliese got a perfect 100, completing all of the tasks they ask her to do perfectly! She even did extra - when she was telling the teacher her colors, she was also showing her how to sign them. :) I was so proud of her. She's actually the only 3-year-old to score a perfect 100 so far this year! I'm telling you, I couldn't have been any prouder - let's just hope this good behavior continues throughout her school career. :) Of course, I don't pretend to take any credit for her smarts - her daycare is AMAZING and we will miss them very much in the fall.
Okay, on to the zoo. We've been trying to take Anneliese to the zoo since last summer but our plans kept getting changed for different reasons. We finally were able to go a couple days ago. Brandon took a few days off during Spring Break and the weather was perfect so we drove to San Antonio to go to the zoo. We all had a great time. These are pictures of some of our favorite animals.
Hopefully we'll have more updates soon. Love to everyone!
