Kindergarten

Dear Cadence,

Well Miss Mae, you're officially a kindergartener... Pretty sure that's not even a word! Anyways, you now attend full day kindergarten, yes FULL day! Thankfully it's only two days a week, otherwise Mommy would cry! 

Not only do you go to school for the entire day, but you also take a bus there and back! On your first day taking the bus, we followed you in the truck... Just to see which route the driver took. It was so hard for us, but you loved it and didn't seem the least bit afraid! I can't believe how fast your growing! 

We are so glad you love school and are very proud of you. I love you sweet pea.

Love Mom

Updates on Life

Dear Cadence,

Wow it's been a long time since mom has written to you. So much has happened and you've changed a lot. 

You recently finished preschool and are now prepping for kindergarten. I can't believe you'll be riding the school bus to school. Your super excited. 

You've learnt how to ride your bike, count, do your ABC's, your a great singer and dancer, love to do flips and stuff like that, run like the wind and ride horses. 

Daxton and Carter are so lucky to have you! Your definitely moms biggest helper and I'm so thankful for you. Always there to help your brothers or help clean up. And your manners are amazing! 

School has made you such an outgoing little girl. You have so many friends now and make new friends everywhere we go. Mom and dad are so proud of you. I love you to the moon baby.

Love Mommy 

School

Dear Cadence, 

My sweet baby girl, in September you started Pre-school. You go to school from 830-11am Monday and Wednesday and you love it. On your first day, mommy cried like a baby and you were just fine. When I picked you up you said, "Mom are you going to cry like that every time you drop me off?" Hahahaha your so funny! 

You've learnt so much at school and continue to learn more everyday. And you've made some great friends that you always have a story to tell about. 

Cadence Mae your growing so fast! And you truly are the best big sister, Daxton loves you so much. Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you and love you so much. 

Love Mommy

Dear Cadence,

Well my girl, you are getting so big! Sometimes I swear I'm talking to a teenager when I have a conversation with you! You truly are wise beyond your years!

You are such an amazing big sister to your baby bro and you just love him. I know he will always look up to you. And you sure are a big help!

Since Mommy has been working, you've been a big help to Daddy! Folding and putting away laundry, helping with your brother, helping with the dogs, cleaning the house... My girl you do it all! Thank you so much for all your help.

CMV, you are such a fast learner! Daddy taught you how to ride your quad and within a week you were racing around the yard all by yourself! I was a little afraid the first time I saw you ride it alone, but I'm so proud of you and know that your very careful! You are my little dare devil ;)

I love you so much Cadence Mae! Thanks for being such an amazing little girl and Mommy is so proud of you!

Love Mommy

Dance Party

Dear Cadence,

Like most nights, there was a dance party in our house tonight. You danced around the living room like a little maniac and had a great time.

Then you asked Daddy to dance with you... And the two of you slow danced around the living room. It was so cute. You sure are a Daddy's girl.

I love you CMV and I hope these dance parties happen for many years to come!

Love Mommy

Dreams

Dear Cadence,

Well CMV, last night you had some pretty strange dreams... at least that's what I gather! At one point you woke up screaming, when I went into your room you were holding your tummy and talking to yourself. I asked what was wrong, you said you hurt your tummy. I put you into your bed and you were out. I'm sure you were sleep walking around your room.

Next time you woke up crying, I went into your room to find you folding laundry. Seriously the funniest thing ever! Again you were talking to yourself while doing it. I told you that you did a great job, you said thanks and went back to sleep in minutes. When you came into our bed later on I asked why you had been folding laundry, you looked at me like I was an idiot and said you didn't do that! Oh kid you crack me up!

I'm certain that you sleep walk and have the weirdest dreams! I love you Monkey!

Love Mom

Life has changed...

Dear Cadence,

As I sit here and think of how proud I am of you, I can't help but cry. You truly are wise beyond your years! And Daxton is so lucky to have such an amazing big sister.

Well it's been snowing here now for a couple days and it sure is cold outside. It most certainly is winter in Alberta!

We have been trying very hard over the past couple weeks to get you to sleep in your own bed, it's working for about 4-6 hours a night. We usually bath both you and Dax and have you both in bed by 7:30pm. Dax goes right to sleep, but you generally get up about 10-20 times before you fall asleep. Sometimes you get up for food or kisses & hugs or to go to the bathroom or just to say hi. You can be a stubborn little critter... I don't know where you got that from! :) Anyways, after a few hours in your own bed you always come down the hall to our bed, where you sleep for the rest of the night. I don't know if we will ever get out completely into your own bed....

Recently you showed Daddy and I how great you are at coloring in the lines... you were very proud of yourself, as were we.

Your getting to be such a big girl! And the best big sister around. Mommy is so proud of you and I love you very much.

Love Mommy

Baby Brother

Dear Cadence,

The last few weeks have been crazy! But out of all the craziness you now have a sweet little brother.

Daxton James Vigh was born on September 2 2012 at 743 am, weighing 5 lbs 15 oz. He spent the first 8 days of life in the NICU at Red Deer Hospital.

During his time at the hospital, the three of us stayed at the Ronald McDonald house so that we could be close to Dax. You love RMH and had a great time there and always ask to go back and play.

Cadence Mae you are the best big sister that Dax could ever ask for. You love to cuddle with him and give him more kisses then any little boy could ask for. You have been a great help with Dax and we are so proud of you. Mommy love you so much!

Love Momma

Ps. Here are some pictures of you and Dax

Just a few pictures

Life on the Farm

Dear Cadence,

A few days ago we got some chickens. 3 hens, 3 chicks and 1 very huge rooster. Your not the least bit afraid of them and go right into the pen and pick them up.

Here is a picture of you and one of the chicks. I love you.

Love Mommy
