Well, my promise of keep this a daily / weekly / monthly blog...is now officially a yearly blog. Where does the time go? About this time last year, we were up to our eyeballs in starting a new company, The Benefit Guys . We specialize in Life Insurance, Travel Insurance, and Group Insurance. It has been a challenging year. As you may know from being a business owner, you have to take care of every detail, and most that are not income producing. So, that is where my time has been spent.
So, what happened? Well, you Miss Mackenzie, have officially graduated JK, and are now enrolled in SK. By this time next year, you will in in school, all day every day. With any luck and god's grace, have a baby brother or sister. But back to last year. You excelled in Gymnastics at the Little Gym, however, dance was not something you liked as much. We went ice skating 3 or 4 times. I thought that would kill me having to bend over and help, but surprisingly, after a couple of times, you were a natural. Hopefully we can get you out more this year. We went tobogganning a record number of times, and enjoyed every minute. You became quite the dog walker with your mom. We almost were able to put the stroller away for good.
When spring rolled around, you started playing T-Ball. You really seemed to enjoy it. I had more fun pitching to you in the front yard. You were a natural hitter. Then soccer started again, you developed into a real team player. Then there was the summer we never had. We never really got to go to the beach that much, but we did enjoy a few days a Deerhurst. You have become quite the little daredevil, bouncing on the trampolines, and climbing the ladders. Also quite the swimmer. We had our first family camping trip at my oold watering hole, Emerald lake. There, you were a daredevil of daredevils jumping off a 12' cliff into the water below. We had fun on the waterslide, the jumping water toys, and by the camp fire.
You still are a little stubborn, and not quite sure who the boss is. However, we will still keep reminding you and do whatever it takes to make you the lovely young lady you will become.
This is all I have time for tonight. We love you, and always will. Mom and Dad.
Soon to come, the year in pictures.
