Annelise turned 4 today.  My sweet beautiful loving Annelise.  We were at the beach all week and the climax of the trip was her birthday.  She loves the beach almost as much as I do.  In fact when we left last time (in April) she was asking when we were going back.  (That’s always what I want to know, too!)  Anyway, when I told her that we were going the week of her birthday, she thought that was the best present ever!! 

She got to open some presents and eat cake and ice cream--what more could she ask for? 

Oh, and while we were at the beach she crossed that line from swimming with her floaties to not having to swim with her floaties.  She is now an official swimmer.  Now I have 2 swimmers.  It’s getting just a little easier! :)

That is Annelise swimming.  It looks like Victoria but it’s really Annelise!  Amazing!
