Well, Annie’s birthday has come and gone…a month ago now. She and Maddux shared a princess party that was right up their alley. Annie has been SO into dressing up and acting like a princess. She loves to curtsy to everyone and we have had to had many a talks about getting her friends to be the “prince” who wake her up with a kiss on the lips. She is hilarious.
She is still fairly active and has a hard time paying attention for long amounts of time. She is just getting to the place where she enjoys sitting and paging through a book by herself for longer than 5 minutes. She is a trouper when it comes to playing with her little sister. Lucy, can be, well, kind of a bully. She likes to bite Annie and tries to shove her off chairs if she thinks she should be sitting there. But, most of the time, Annie will just cry (if she is bitten) and wait for us to come help her instead of retaliating.
Unfortunately, I spilled hot tea all over myself and the computer and my computer is now broken so I do not have pictures of the party for the moment. I will however, give you some pictures that we have taken since the “accident”.
Maddux and Annie this summer.

The Luce goose in her trick or treating outfit. This is a classic Lucy face.
Lucy, Annie, Callie, Maddux and Sophie on Halloween before we went out trick or treating. We went to my parents house in White Bear Lake so the girls would have a nice neighborhood to get some candy in. They actually lasted about 15 houses or so. They LOVED it!
MINISTRY UPDATES
Joanna, Linda, Jenny, Anna, Roseline, and Me. This is my discipleship group that I lead. We meet every Monday night from 8:30-10:30 to talk about the Bible and how truth impacts our lives. It has been an amazing year with these girls. I have never been more convinced and more excited to be giving my life away to girls on the U of MN campus. I want my life to be spent on relationships for the purpose of helping these girls love Jesus more.
Luke, Jared, Zach, Matt, Reed, and Matt. This is Matt’s group of guys that he is leading this fall. He has been walking through ministry with these guys. Two of them are CA’s and live in the dorms with freshman aiming to give their life away there. Matt has really enjoyed his time with these men and training them up to love people and share the gospel of Jesus with them.
We are nearing the end of the semester. Please join with Matt and I as we pray for these students, that God would use the rest of the semester to reveal more of who he is for us.
