CRAZY HAIR

I still can't get over how crazy Kansas hair is. Some days after naps or baths it is so out of control I don't even know what to do with it. I tried her first ponytail a couple of months ago, and then the other day I tried pigtails and it was the most adorable thing ever. I just love it and love her and hoping it does not fall out. 

Macie's 6

Another year has come and gone and our special little Macie is 6 years old. She is turning into one pretty amazing kid and I am so proud of her and all she is doing and becoming. She is in Kindergarten this year with Madame Valerie and is in the french immersion program, she is doing so well and has exceeded my expectations. She loves going to school every day and comes home with a big smile on her face always saying school was good. She walks home from school with two boys (David and Micah Haacke) they are brothers and our in grades 1 and 4 so they watch over her and keep her safe on the walk home. Macie still does Jazz and Ballet two nights a week and is taking Piano lesson from Mrs Courtney, Mrs Courtney is also her music teacher from school. She continues to take swimming lessons and will be doing level 2 this January. She still loves all things crafty, baking with mom, helping around the house, playing with friends, swimming, beach days, bike rides, playing at the park, and shooting hopes in her kid friendly basketball hoop. She has the kindest heart and would give you the shirt off her back, but also has a tender heart and often feels a little picked on. A good talk though helps her to see that her friends our not picking on her but just wanting to do something different then what she wants to do. She is fiercely independent and I could probably leave her alone at home (not that I ever would) for an extended period of time and she would be just fine. Sometimes she is a little to independent and won't ever let me pick out clothes for her, or decide how to do her hair that day but she is definitely gonna know what she wants in life and go after it. When you ask her what she wants to be when she grows up she always says "Everything". I love it and that she has such big dreams, from a police officer to a veterinarian she wants to be it all. I love this little girl more then anything and try every day to know how to be a better Mom for her. Thanks Macie for being such an easy girl to love and care for.
