We've been busy Part III

Annabelle has been keeping up with her archery. It's hard to believe she's been doing it for almost 2 years already. She seems to really be enjoying it even if the league she's been competing in is slacking on handing out her awards.

Bullseye at 40 yards. 2nd one of the day!

Annabelle shoots animal targets during league but enjoys shooting at paper targets when she's practicing. She lucked out on this day - the arena was empty so she had the whole place to her self. She was so relaxed and really enjoyed it.

Like her brother, Annabelle is an excellent student. She is just about done with 7th grade and enjoyed her first year of Jr. High. She even played on the school's bowling team. I don't have a picture of that! Oops. When she's not doing activities, Annabelle is an avid reader. Thankfully her eyesight still keeps improving after all these years and her script has been going down. Perhaps reading does make ones eyes stronger and not weaker???

Annabelle likes to bake cookies too when the jar is empty. She likes eating cookies. Thankfully at 5'9" she can handle them. Yes, it's official I'm the shortest one in our house. Never thought I would describe myself as short, oh well it's only downhill from here.

This summer Annabelle has a couple of dog sitting jobs set up. She will be in heaven because these people allow their dogs on furniture so she will be enjoying having their dogs lay all over her when she's not playing with them. Better someone elses furniture than mine.

We are proud of our tough young lady. She definitely has forged her own personality and has some wisdom beyond her years. Can't wait to see what she does with her life. Oh wait, yes I can wait, I don't want my baby to grow to quickly. I will be cherishing every day of the next few years.
