anna kate frances! we celebrated your birthday in gulf shores with all your closest cousins. so i feel like we didnt get to do the big big parties we always do. spoiled much?!?

you are a climber at the park, a bike rider, dancer, lover of all animals and babies. you love good food, helping me bake, playing in your room and your favorite saints are st. frances “for granny” aka “cabrini” and st. philip neri. this year is such a big year for you! you will attend school with the boys as a first grader! you are so excited, it makes us so happy for you! these next few months will be the last of you being the only girl. we are so beyond excited for you having a sister! its the best gift in the world. you have a lot to show her! we are currently working on redoing your room so you can share as sisters 🙂

we love you and are so excited for this year!

xxoo

we did it! after much anticipation we were able to get together this summer and head to the beach! jack and samuel we might have lost you and your cousins to the switch and raiding the pantry at times, while anna kate was busy playing with emily and ella taking over the rooms and balconies. yall enjoyed fishing a little bit with kent and riding the waves when they got a little rougher. emma was there to take you to the pool at the end of the week. maximilian you were pure joy to watch out there. i’m surprised you didnt grow your own fins. you tried to swim away from us any chance you got.

we celebrated many things. josephs graduation, granny’s birthday, anna kates s i x t h birthday and even bryans birthday. we celebrated mustaches, no sting rays this year and happy toddlers in the water. thirty five of our favorites all together, we definitely missed the missing seven. we are so blessed to be able to do what we did! god is good! already looking forward to the next time we can sink our toes in the sand together.
