‘Twas 2007, the year nearly gone, another 12 months growing tall straight and strong
The laundry neatly folded and piled through the house, Has anyone seen the cat? oh no where's the mouse?
The children keep growing despite my appeals, It’s all Daddy's fault, no one misses a meal.
With minds like sponges and razor sharp wit, each day begins early, another 19 hour sprint
All three kids have two triathlons under their belt, with medals to prove all the sufferin’they felt
Don't feel bad, there's much to be gained, pushing your limits finds true strength beyond the pain
When did my wondering mind realize, My oldest turn 12, her hormones alive!
One part a girl she's getting so tall, another I don't recognize, boys and myspace and going to the mall
She's getting so pretty it's not hard to see, the boys already calling but they don't get through me
She loves her new school, she's preparing for college, drama club and swim team give balance to knowledge
A memorable year for her it has been, adventure at Sea World, then off to France and home again
The boy is a special one, he bloomed like a flower his minds a steel trap and books he devours
He’s witty and sweet, he’s expressive and nutty, from dino's to sharks he's a quick study
Thanks to parent teacher partnership, prayer, and good thoughts, Our Aidan’s made such strides that our jaws they just drop
Rock climbing, running and cling peaches by the jar, me boyo's love of life has made him the second grade super star
Then there’s our Ali, oh, where do I start, Allison’s got sweetness down to an art!
She’s loving and caring, industrious and true, She lights up the room, her smile and personality shine through
With the makings of an athlete, she's fast and strong in the water, it cannot be denied our creators best work is strong in this daughter
So many memories, so much commotion, a measure of chaos that's life's magic potion
Dad's year of racing is his best ever, he's aggressive, speedy, focused and clever
Our good fortune this year has been too great to measure, each of our friendships is something we treasure.
We’re healthy and happy and thank God above for filling our lives with His awesome love.
That's 2007, it's been a good ride, an adventure you might say, we fully intend that 2008 be the same way.
