More Racing!

Sunday was the beginning of a 5-race series where you earn points based on how you finish. It was 1/4 mile and you finished 6/26 giving you 5 points! I'm so proud of you and I can't wait until the next one!

I love that you are willing to try almost anything even if you are scared and don't want to. Sometimes it takes a lot of work and talking beforehand, but you almost always try and I am very proud of that.

You are such a sweet and thoughtful girl - I hope that never changes. As I sit at my desk at work today, I think about how much I miss you, Benny and Mommy and wish that I was with you!

1st Ski Trip!

On Saturday, I took you to Boston Mills ski resort and we spent about 4 hours there. This was your very first time trying skiing. I had an idea that it would be something you would enjoy and be good at.

Since it was March, the weather was about 45-50 degrees but they had a ton of snow which made it the perfect first day!

:)

By the way, we watched The Greatest Showman this weekend - You guys love it and all the songs. We danced all over the house together yesterday to the songs. :) Last night, I told mom that this was one of the best weekends of my life.

This is what it is all about. I know you're going to have some tough days ahead of you as you grow up, but I hope you realize someday that its all about family. We love you and Benny so much!

Ice Skating on President's Day

Yesterday was Presidents Day so we had the day off. In the morning we went swimming at the rec with Benny and had a lot of fun on the Pirate Ship and you showing off how far you could swim under the water. You're an amazing swimmer and always have been. Benny is really starting to get brave too and loves to go under water.

When Benny was napping, you and I took off for the ice rink! You really got into ice skating this year and it is so fun to do in the winter. It's amazing how fast you got the hang of it and started skating by yourself.  Today there was a kid there from your school who was a year older. He was super fast and plays hockey so you made me take your hand and pull you as fast as I could to make it look like you could skate just as fast :) 

Always need to finish skating with the famous veggie tray!

As I sit at my desk at work today, I think back to what a great day it was and how much I love spending time with you - Especially when its just the two of us. I wonder how much longer it will be that you still hold my hand while we ice skate.

I love you buddy!
