Anne Louise was sprinkled with baptism waters as a baby, almost 12 years later she stepped into the water of her own freewill and made a profession of faith in front of her family and friends. Our church offers all sixth graders a course in what we believe about God, called “confirmation” and she took this opportunity very seriously. She took responsibility for all the homework, kept notes and a prayer journal, and made a decision for herself to go into the water.

We’re pretty proud.

She was asked to give a testimony at the banquet before the service. It was a very special day.

First weekend in May, Anne Louise played the role of Oliver Twist in her school’s production of “Oliver!” Clearly her family thought she was phenomenal, but so did everyone else we heard talking!

This week Anne Louise and I were in Frazer’s production of “The Sound of Music”. Over 1,700 people saw the play over a 4 day period. Anne Louise played Brigitta von Trapp and I played the Baroness Elsa Shreader.

The set was phenominal! Really the whole production was very professionally done. For one of the scene’s we used this wardrobe…the SAME wardrobe that was used for Anne Louise’s school production of “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” last spring.

The school borrowed it from our church! We made a bunch of good new friends and hope we have the chance to do it again soon! Pics can be seen at passkids.com/gallery

Anne Louise tried out for her middle school (5-8 grades) play. They will be doing The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe in February. She went through call backs and she was cast as LUCY! She is so excited!
