It’s hard to believe that our little girl, Emily, turned 10 yesterday! It hardly seems like yesterday that I was failing to keep up with an ambulance on the road from North Battleford to Saskatoon, where she was born all those years ago. I wasn’t able to keep up with it and I also found myself initially at the wrong hospital, but I did get there eventually with lots of time to spare, missing none of the excitement.
People always say that their kids grow up too fast, but you can’t keep them young and small forever. It seems already that she has a phone attached to her ear. In the morning before she goes to school we often feel that we are just her answering service! I just hope that as she continues to grow up that we will be there to help and support her as she makes the many decisions she will have to make, just as my parents were for me growing up.
She’s having an all-girl pyjama party tonight, so Cameron and I are heading for Sudbury for a guys night out. The last thing she wants is her little brother crashing her party, so we’ll make sure we’re gone for the evening. By the way, last week Cameron decided that he wanted his own blog, so he set up ‘may the force be with you’ which can be found on the links at the right or just click here. Check it out and give him some encouragement. He promises to update it this weekend.
