Sarah (aka Bella) is a clone of her daddy, with the exception being that she's cute.  She's full of energy living her life at 90 miles an hour.  She is completely oblivious to what's going on around here and often is so in a fog that she'll walk into inanimate objects (e.g. walls, doors, etc.). Sarah is also like her father in that she loves to torment those around her, especially her sisters.

Sarah had an amazing year of fun, growth and experiences as she finished 8th grade. This was Sarah’s turn to receive Confirmation and had a wonderful time, a great mentor and fabulous memories. She played softball for the town, and really enjoyed it, learned a ton, and improved so much she was awarded the game ball at their last game!

This summer Sarah will participate in a new experience for our family. Her best friend is very active in our local chapter of CISV and has invited Sarah to join. Our Sarah was accepted to participate in their exchange program and will be going to Germany for 2 weeks in July. We will get our exchange student first, and then Sarah will travel there to stay with her family for 2 weeks. We are all looking forward to this time of fun, travel and learning.

Two summers ago, Sarah, travelled to Ireland with her Aunt Nancy, Uncle Jamie and their 2 year old daughter Alexandra. I've included some of the pictures she took while visiting there. While there, they stayed in an apartment above a pub named Baby Hannah's that is owned by relatives of my wife. She also brought back some video from her trip and the place looks amazing. We are considering a family trip there at some point.

Sarah is also the best athelete in the family (although Rachel would disagree). She is excellent at softball, basketball, racquetball and badminton.
