Awesome.
Sure wish my parents would got me into pistols early on. They were quick to start me on rifles and dirtbikes. But handguns were strictly to keep loaded in the nightstand drawer and that was it. Didnt get to play to much with them until I was old enough to buy one myself.

She is the reason I walked away from what I was doing. I figured I had only one chance to be a dad and be involved in watching and participating in her growing up.
These important years only come around once and there's not enough gold in the world to replace the times you'll share with that keen eyed little cow girl. You'll reap huge rewards for your wisdom. As a guy about your age who's living with a few regrets, it puts a lump in my throat to see someone doin' it all right. Thanks.

"Some may enjoy these pics..."
....no, we loved those pics!
Congrats on the decisions that you've made---I wish that I had been more like you at that time of life.

Wonderful story and pictures. Thanks for sharing, and keep up the good work. The lack of good parenting is, in my opinion, the main reason for the decline of our country in general.

Very impressive, Mackay. Both her and YOU for realizing what's really important in life. I tell people that the most significant thing I ever did was to be a Dad. Odviously, you feel the same way.
Do keep up the good/great work. E

Getting here kinda late, just wanted to tell you how much the wife and I enjoyed those pictures. We have our first grandchild here at the moment, she is 17 months and we're loving every second with her. We have two adult children that we are very proud of, they are super people and very successful in life. Congrat's to your little lady, she's a cutie. And congrat's to you dad, looks like you are doing a great job of being - dad. And nothing has a greater responsibility, is more challenging, or more rewarding.

Wow, that buckle is nearly as big as she is - great pictures of some great times - enjoy!
