We had our turkey dinner last night, and for my first bird - I have to say it turned out pretty good!! Yum!! Today we're having the leftovers and tomorrow morning we leave for Regina.
2006 has been good to us. The year was busy - but fun!!
In January I was promoted to Specialist at my work, this is an entry level management position and while challenging - I find it to be extremely rewarding as well. I really enjoy each and every one of my co-workers and couldn't have a better work environment.
In May Allan went to a Design/Build studio in Minnedosa where he helped in designing & building a park and developing the school grounds of the local Elementary school, he had a lot of fun on the project and was recognized for his hard work.
While Allan was in Minnedosa, the girls and I spent a week in Regina, had lots of fun!!
Allan spent the summer working in Saskatoon at Stantec - an Architectural firm. He had a great time and learned a lot. His work was even on the front page of the Saskatoon Star Pheonix in November.
Allan came home every weekend in the summer, as well as we had lots of help from his family. Jennifer and Haylee came out for a week, Joan came out for a week and Laura came out for a week. Then Madison spent the last week of the summer in Saskatchewan at Granny & Grandpa's cabin. We couldn't have survived the summer without you guys!!
In September Madison started Kindergarten! She absolutely loves it! Her teacher is wonderful which helps a lot. Madison is already reading about 20 words and can sound out even more.
In November Allan received an extremely large bursary which paid off his Manitoba Student Loan. *phew* What a load off of our shoulders!
Allan also won 3rd place in a Design competition for Barkman Concrete last month.
Annika is doing great - very outgoing and friendly. She loves to sing and surprises us with all of the songs she knows. It seems like she only needs to hear something once to commit it to memory.
We are looking forward to 2007 and what it will bring. Allan graduates this year - which is exciting on its own!
Happy Holidays,
Love Sarah, Allan, Madison and Annika
