It was only 4 and a half years ago, I decided I was going to start a blog about your lfe. I don't know why, but I thought it would be a neat idea. I stayed at it for a little while, then occasionally, then rarely posted. I made a decison tonight, I will do it more often. It may not be as indepth a post as you deserve, but it will be a post. As you well know, your mother is pregnant, and you will have a little brother or sister this coming May or June.
I was at your school yesterday for an open house. Your teacher was very proud to have you in her class. So proud, that she would like her daughter to be in your class next year. You are very kind, and loving. It choked me up when you brought home an award for Humility last month. I could learn a thing from you. You are only 4, but have come a long way. You have a long way to go, and I/we only want the best for you. It will not be easy but will be rewarding. Just make sure you have fun along the way. Come June, I hope to have another blog, in honour of your brother or sister.

and another year goes by....
Well, my promise of keep this a daily / weekly / monthly blog...is now officially a yearly blog. Where does the time go? About this time last year, we were up to our eyeballs in starting a new company, The Benefit Guys . We specialize in Life Insurance, Travel Insurance, and Group Insurance. It has been a challenging year. As you may know from being a business owner, you have to take care of every detail, and most that are not income producing. So, that is where my time has been spent.
So, what happened? Well, you Miss Mackenzie, have officially graduated JK, and are now enrolled in SK. By this time next year, you will in in school, all day every day. With any luck and god's grace, have a baby brother or sister. But back to last year. You excelled in Gymnastics at the Little Gym, however, dance was not something you liked as much. We went ice skating 3 or 4 times. I thought that would kill me having to bend over and help, but surprisingly, after a couple of times, you were a natural. Hopefully we can get you out more this year. We went tobogganning a record number of times, and enjoyed every minute. You became quite the dog walker with your mom. We almost were able to put the stroller away for good.
When spring rolled around, you started playing T-Ball. You really seemed to enjoy it. I had more fun pitching to you in the front yard. You were a natural hitter. Then soccer started again, you developed into a real team player. Then there was the summer we never had. We never really got to go to the beach that much, but we did enjoy a few days a Deerhurst. You have become quite the little daredevil, bouncing on the trampolines, and climbing the ladders. Also quite the swimmer. We had our first family camping trip at my oold watering hole, Emerald lake. There, you were a daredevil of daredevils jumping off a 12' cliff into the water below. We had fun on the waterslide, the jumping water toys, and by the camp fire.
You still are a little stubborn, and not quite sure who the boss is. However, we will still keep reminding you and do whatever it takes to make you the lovely young lady you will become.
This is all I have time for tonight. We love you, and always will. Mom and Dad.
Soon to come, the year in pictures.
