Heavy Lifting

Katherine, the last weeks have been so busy – we have been moving offices and gone through quite a transition with our businesses… and you were there right in the middle of it.

As you are fully mobile now… I mean “right in the middle of it” quite literally. You were walking and toddling around the office, having a great time especially as we started to pack boxes - sometimes you outpaced us unpacking what we had just put in a box and sometimes you added items to the boxes; we just often had different ideas what should go into a particular box.
You even made it through some shelving rails sliding on your foot – even the bruising it caused didn’t keep you sitting still for long; a few tears and many hugs from everyone in the office and you were off and running again.

It was so much joy watching you “help” in so many ways – you even “assisted” daddy with the assembly of new chairs… there was not a screw you didn’t re-organize for him. But the coolest thing to watch was that you repeated what he was doing; you took screws and put them into the pre-drilled holes. Ok, so the assembly took a little bit longer, but who would complain with such a great helper!

You are teaching me that adapting to any change in life is easier when you do it with a smile on your face and expect to have fun and new adventures along the way. I am excited to find out what adventures are waiting for us around the corner. I love you always and forever.
