Annie is a joy to have in our family.  She has lots of energy and is always the one wanting and making the fun.  We prayed and fasted for many years waiting for Annie to come to us.  Before Annie was born Katie would go to the nursery and take out all her clothes and dream about her little sister.  Then she would fold everything and put it all away. The morning she was born, Grant went to Katie and James' school to bring them to the hospital.  They stopped at Albertsons and had chocolate milk and a donut.  They sat on the tale gate of Grants truck and talked  about what a beautiful baby sister Annie was.  It was so wonderful when they all came to meet Annie for the first time.   I love all my children and they each are a gift from Heavenly Father.
