My Trip with my Cousins, Mommy, Aunts & Grandmaman

Hi All,

Well I am due for another entry for our little man's blog. There have been many new memories for him the biggest was his trip to Vancouver in the middle of February with his Cousins, Mommy, Aunts and his Grandmaman.

They left Edmonton very early February 13, 2011 with Via Rail. He was so excited to finally get some time on his train. Kai was the super star of the train and met lots of people. He made a real buddy in Denis, the park car attendant, and was not scared to ask him a thousand questions. Poor Denis got a lot of "look at me Denis". It probably helped that Kai was the only guy in the group. He was very proud to sleep on the top bunk as well.

The purpose of the trip was to say a final good-bye to Opa. They rented cars in Vancouver (another Jeep and the super fast red car) to drive out to Horseshoe Bay. Kai was excited to see the ocean. Well, really to throw rocks in it. They said their good-bye under sunshine and a rainbow. As the ferry left Horseshoe Bay, Kai said that Opa was on the ferry going away. It really was perfect. During the afternoon of February 14, 2011, the kids went to the Vancouver Aquarium. Kai met some new friends that made a huge impression on him...the beluga whales. He called them all "my friends" and spent hours, literally, hanging out with them.

On another note we have registered Kai in his first sport. He is playing tim bits soccer this summer and his daddy is going to be the assistant coach. We are all looking forward to this and we will update with pictures as the time comes. As well he witnessed his first hockey game with his Dad. He saw the Edmonton Oil Kings this past saturday night. He did very well for the first twenty minutes or so, then the chaos began. He spent more time dancing in the aisle during the whistles than actually watching the game. He was a trooper though, he made it the whole night and it was a late one. Well, I cannot think of much more at this time. We will update with more posts in the future.

I'm 3 and in charge

For all those who have been waiting for this, I am truly sorry for the 7 month delay. There have been a lot of developments for our little man over the last little while. Kai has been on skates now for a month or so and his dad is very happy. I did not think he would take a liking to it, but I was wrong. He really enjoys skating with his dad as long as I hold his belly and go fast. Heaven forbid I hold his hands, but we are working on it.

Kai, has since moved into the pre-school room at his daycare. Christine and I were talking today that our little man has now gone through all 3 rooms. We cannot believe how much he has grown. We have noticed over the last little while one of his many traits that he has from his mom. He is a little boy that knows what he wants and will make sure it happens.

Since Kai has turned 3 we have been very busy, we had Grandpa's Christmas party at West Edmonton Mall Galaxy land. He really enjoyed this day and told Santa what he wanted for Christmas. He favorite question this year for Santa was "Santa, where are your reindeer?". It was very cute and something Christine and I will never forget.

We had a great Christmas holiday season this year, way too many memories to talk about and Kai was very blessed with all the great toys he received. I would also like to make note that Kai lost his Opa this past December and we all know that he is watching over him. He loved his Opa very much and he will be missed dearly.
