Today marks a new beginning for me, TwisTED Rodeo and Rodeo Media Relations.

Since Dec. 1, 2008, I’ve divided my time between the growth of my business and the growth of my youngest child. It’s an odd combination of an upstart company and Daddy Daycare, and it’s an awesome blessing to have both maturing quite well.

Channing started preschool today, the same week her big sister, Laney, began fifth grade. It’s quite different this morning as I work on several projects to not hear toys being banged around or the sound of Barney on the television or the visions of a little girl dancing and twirling in front of me as I work, regularly directing me with, “Daddy, watch this.”

I’ll still get a good flavor of my little girl at home with me, since she’ll only be in preschool three days a week. But her next step in education comes at a time when my schedule is at its busiest. God’s timing is awesome, as if He’s allowed me this grand opportunity to share Channing’s first few years and prepared me for an expanding business.

It’s something I never will take for granted.
