Ludwig Family Top 10 for 2006:

Annabelle.
Annabelle is in 3rd grade this year. She loves school and friends, although she isn’t too keen on the homework that accompanies it! She still spends much of her free time reading and playing with her brother. Annabelle is an aspiring performer, and was thrilled to have a part in a community theater production of “Sleeping Beauty” over summer vacation. She played the role of the “Purple Fairy”. This fall she joined the Wooddale Church choir and enjoyed performing Christmas concerts at Mall of America and at the church’s holiday show. She is a world class big sister and our eternally optimistic gal!
Nathaniel
Nathaniel is in his second year of preschool this year, heading for kindergarten in the fall of 2007. He developed a passion for crafting this fall and we spend many hours at our “craft center” making things out of paper. He also discovered the joy of Legos, specifically the Technic bricks that allow you to make vehicles. He is still fascinated by construction machines, especially skid steer tractors. I think he has a future in engineering, as he is captivated by the way things work. We visited the local water treatment plant after weeks of answering questions and reading about the pipes that carry water to and from our homes. Nathaniel loves to read books and is proud to be reading some books by himself this fall.
