Another year has whipped by - I am so thankful to have pictures to document the events! Allie is growing and changing into an amazing young lady with a heart bent toward Jesus and ministering to others...here is a quick review of her year....
Ballet is still one of Allie's first loves...it is her fourth semester at Experience Arts School and she had the opportunity to move up to a new class this year. Allison works hard to improve and lives for the semester end performances...!
Allie adores her ballet teacher, Miss Stella. Miss Stella has a heart for Jesus and her little students. She radiates joy...
Allie is becoming quite the all-around athlete - and will try any sport! This summer she played tennis while on vacation, played football with Ryan (so he could learn his plays), and she will play soccer if needed, too! In May, Allison ran her first 5K with mom and the rest of the family! She is working to improve her time in the mile at PE each week. She loves to run! : )
Allie has a heart to serve and help! She has been waiting for the opportunity to help volunteer at Hope Women's Center with Madison and her turn finally came. On the way out after the evening, she said "I wish we could do that every night!"
Allison and her side-kick - Jonathan is Allie's friend and classmate...I am so thankful for their friendship and enjoyment of one another. They spend MANY waking hours together!
Allie is blessed to have her grandparents fairly close by - and she cherishes her time with them. Allison is particularly gifted in the area of encouragement and friendship. She is selfless in many of her relationships and many children in her classes, at church, and in our life are blessed by her ability to sense the need for a friend - for kindness and grace. What a gift. It is fun to see Allison's character shape into a girl who digs deeper when faced with trials and difficulty...she is an inspiration and we love her so much!
Happy 9th Birthday to Allison, we love you!
