Avery had lunch with the Principal at school today because she is the "PRIDE" student in her class for the month. Avery has been so exciting since she found out last week. She has been planning what to wear and what I need to make her for lunch. She was telling me about it at dinner and I had to share. I asked her how lunch was today, and she told me she ate lunch with her class because she was nervous. She told me she was the smallest kid there (she is in PreK at an elementary school). After lunch she went on stage to get her treat (a cookie) from the principal. I asked her if she said thank you and she told me she was too shy. I asked her why and she responded that there were too many big kids around. Then she told me about a pretty big girl with a pony tail and that she was too nervous to tell her what her name is. Avery was so serious about being shy and concerned at the same time. I told her she is only 4 and it will get easier when she is 5.
Also I must add that when her Papa picked her up from school she told him she was starving because she was too nervous to eat her lunch.
So much excitement for a little girl in one day, all because she follows the rules and has good manners!

Life in Florida
Well I have decided to start a blog to keep everyone updated on life in Florida for the McKenzie family. As the years go by and the kids get older life gets busier and busier. I can not imagine how it will be once the kids have their own schedules!
We try to step back and enjoy life as much as possible, which is sometimes easier than others. Neil enjoys fishing in his Gheenoe, usually along the intercoastal. Avery is his first mate on occasional, but she does not have the patience to do much fishing. Once Colin is bigger I am sure he will be by Daddy's side. I am busy just trying to stay ahead of the game. I am lucky to have had the summer off with the kids, but it made going back to work full time in August an adjustment. I think we are finally getting into a groove. Avery is in her second year of PreK at a local public school. She is so proud because she made student of the month in her class. She gets to have lunch with the principal next week. Colin is my busy little man and is always moving. He will be 2 years old in a week, which is amazing! He loves watching monster trucks and the TV show Pinks. He is talking more each day and becoming more of his own person.
I will try to keep everyone updated on what is happening here from time to time.
