Ups and Downs of Parenting...

Today Mackenzie got another shot. She is pretty good getting a needle. At first it made us cringe...but now, it's just another thing. I found out that the doctor doesn't like the way her feet are looking. So, we will be referred to a specialist. Amazing what goes through ones mind. Worst case scenario's of surgery and more pain. Hopefully everything will be fine. I like to keep more positive memories...like having my first nap with Mackenzie in the hospital.


Or watching the amazing bond between mother and daughter.



Watching her laugh and smile for one of the first times.



Watching her reaction to discovering herself



Or seeing her grow up and be a teenager



Oh...wait...she is not a teen yet...hopefully she'll be a little bigger.

Our house, is a very very fine house...

With two cats that will soon be in the yard...if you ever heard the song by CSNY that might mean something. Not only are we new parents, we are also new homeowners. On September 23, 2004 we bought our first house. In polite terms, it will be a fixer upper for us. The previous owners neglected it, along with the owners before that, and the ones before that. It was a wonderful couple of weeks, repainting the house to get ready to repaint. Removing a bit of history from the basement, shag rugs, panelling...the basement itself. Now that summer is here, we are trying to clean up the yard. Hopefully next year, the fruits of our labour will start to show. Here is a picture of our house.


We love our neighbourhood, and our neighbours are great. Hopefully we will be here for a long long time. Enough time for Danielle to get that pool I promised her.

Day 1...Actually Day 150

This blog is dedicated to our daughter Mackenzie. She is 5 months old as of yesterday. She was born December 28, 2004 at 9am. She was 8lbs, 7.5 ozs. Hopefully this will still be here one day and become a family history diary. Now if I can only teach my wife, Danielle to use this. :)

Here is a picture of her at 3 weeks old.
