Thanks BenMac, it was awesome watching Trixe grow from a baby, into a toddler, and now a beautiful little girl! I think a lot of people will congratuate you on your "eye" for photography, but you had the perfect subject! Please let Trixie know, she had a lot of fan's, and she is LOVED by so many! Thank you again, Tom

Wow, so thats it. You guys are awesome and I am sad to see this go. This blog really helped me feel assurance in raising my own baby, and learn to see how other parents raise their child.
I hope everything is ok, since you mentioned watching for her safety or something along those lines.
Anyways, best of luck to you guys.
Now I shall search for a new helpful parenting blog that has the same quality.
Thanks for all the info you have shared.
Ciao.

It's been a pleasure watching Trixie grow into a beautiful little girl. Thanks for letting us come along. I hope for nothing but the best for all of you.

Farewell!

WOW! Haven't been here in a while!!! All things must come to an end. You've done a great job, Ben! Knowing you as a teenager, it was nice to see you blossom into a nice adult and father... any man that will stay at home has to be special and, of course, lucky!!! We still have your "Where's Ann?" water color hanging and do enjoy the genius of it. your daughter is adorable, esp. in this picture!

Good luck in the future in a new career, perhaps!
I've enjoyed checking in on Trixie occasionally!
All the best!!!!!!!!!

I will miss watching Trixie grow, but have marvelled at how you have been doing this for so long. I am impressed at your photography and the wonderful things you do together. I am sure that Trixie will grow up to be as special as her parents!

This is a gorgeous shot. Wow.

Thank you for letting us into your lives and into Trixie's. My boys have loved watching her grow up right along side them. Best wishes to you all.

Beautiful shot of a little GIRL... no longer a baby. I can completely understand you ending the site. Now that Trixie is three, she is no longer a little baby!

This pic definitely confirms it. I can't believe how grown up she looks.

Thanks for all that you have done for this site, it has definitely been a daily source of entertainment. I only hope that Trixie Tracker will still be around when I have kids someday.

Enjoy your lives... in private!! :)

I have read every entry and enjoyed all the daily pics on your blog. It has been a joy & fun watching Trixie grow. Thank you for an insight to parenthood. I am not surprised you are taking this route. You are a smart man! Good Luck to you & your family.

i am a lil sad to see the trixie tracker end.
i used to check this site out quite a bit.
it was one positive thing you could count on.
i understand how he is taking this route too.
for their family and friends they can get pictures emailed.
but for those of us who can't see the trixie grow, i wish her luck and you guys luck as she enters school etc. etc.
she has the potential to be a model i swear, but i bet that route isn't one you'd want to take, but she is very pretty, all the best trixie, you are a cutie pie.
cheers!

It has been great being her uncle and seeing her grow up. I understand Ben's and Jen's feelings and completely agree with them. I am just happy that I will be there to experience her growing up even more.

I love the upside-down hair clip, and the way the honey shades in her hair match the colours of the bricks in the background while the blue cup matches the blue dress. A lovely "blue sky, changing autumn leaves," type of photo.

Ok ok, one more comment, I'm sorry, and than I'll sign off.
But I just wanted to say, I have enjoyed this parenting blog more than any other for a few reasons.
When I read other parenting blogs, which are just as interesting, I feel that most of the content is not as "real" as this.
I feel like other parenting blogs sugar-coat a lot of experiences, ie: the exhaustion of raising a new born.
Where you guys would speak the truth for future or new parents to get the full picture of how it really is.
I have enjoyed your honesty and humor and wonderful pictures.
All the best.

I've been enjoying your blog since day one, never commenting, just enjoying. Have to admit, I'm going to miss you folks. You, Benmac, are an extremely talented photographer, you and Jen are great parents, and I absolutely LOVE your sense of humor. Very often, coming home from a rough day at work, I'd pop into your site and just have to giggle at your wit. Your brought a smile to many tough days.
Thank you for sharing the past 3 years of your lives with us and I wish you all the best life has to offer in the future.

I too am sad about this being one of the last Trixie pictures, but excited for you guys to be done with the pressures of the site. Best of luck with Trixie Tracker, and to Trixie:thanks for sharing three years of your life.

I'm also sad to see you go. I've only posted twice, I believe, but I want to wish you all the good things that life has to offer and thank you for the opportunity to get a little peak of Trixie's introduction to the world. I've followed you daily(usually two or three times a day) since Kim Komando recommended this site as her Cool Site of the Day. Ditto to everything everyone else has said. Godspeed and God bless.

My daughter, now a grandmother herself, asked me just a week or so ago: "Are you still watching that site"? I replied: "Every day of every week" and I still love seeing the pictures and the growth of your princess. One step I won't have to take to get through my PC venue but I admit, I will miss the pictures and even some of the comments. Thanks for sharing your little girl with me and the rest. I have a 9 month old great granddaughter and I can watch her progress but I will have to drive 7 miles to go see her... she is well pictured by mom, grandma and great grandparents getting a personality...Thanks again .LOL

Wow this is beautiful. The yellow from the bricks and her hair give it such a warm glow.
