Hi there everybody!
It's been a while since I wrote, but it has been pretty hectic lately. We moved to our new place,
I went back to school and fall skating started. The Memorial Centre ice still isn't fixed, so we have been skating at
lots of different places, most of them really, really cold!!!! Renee is making me work really hard, which is a good(?!) thing.
I still love her, but she's tough!!!!!!! More than anything, I want to start landing my double jumps and Renee says that I
have to know the correct techniques or I will never land them, so there's lots of hard work ahead. My new skates are pretty
much broken in now, so its not as painful as it was this summer. I will write again when the Memorial Centre re-opens. Bye
for now,
Megan

Hi everyone. Mom, Nana and I spent last night stuffing, addressing and stamping envelopes. We are working on getting
sponsors, and our good friend Pat donated the picture, printing and stamps for our project! It's really neat, cause for the
first time it seems like everyone else understands my dream of going to the Olympics and wants to help. I really hope we get
some sponsors, because Mom was right about my skates - they are way too small. Rene was laughing at me when I told her they
fit fine - my toes are actually curling under and you can't fool Rene... So we have to go to Toronto in two weeks and pick
out my new skates. Our first early morning skate was fun, my legs were a bit wobbly, but it really felt great to be back on
the ice. My other coach Lisa is going to teach us for the next two weeks and I am excited to see her too - I missed her.
Nothing much else is new except I finished my Harry Potter book - wow, was it exciting. Now I can't wait for the next
one, which will take another year at least! Bye for now,
Meg

Since I finished skating for the spring, a lot has happened, so I thought I would give you a quick update.
Two weeks ago, I had dental surgery and they took out 9 teeth! They put me out, which was pretty cool, but a little scary.
When I woke up, I couldn't walk or even talk very well, which felt very funny. I am all better now, and you should see my
new smile (actually, I will include a picture taken yesterday so you CAN see my new smile!!!
I start skating again on July 9th, and I am hoping to compete in two different competitions in September. Renee says we
have lots of work to do this summer, and I can hardly wait. Mom made me try on my skates yesterday, and she held her breath
hoping they still fit. Guess what? No problem, I still have a bit of room. I think Mom was very happy. Well, got to go, the
tooth fairy brought me the new Harry Potter book today, and I must read!!!!!
