Early Summer update

It's been a while since we have updated! Time is flying by! We have celebrated Grandpa's Birthday, Father's Day and of course, the May 24 weekend!

Charlie is almost 20 months now and I'm 6 months pregnant. I have not had a great time so far, but the end is in sight - 14 weeks and counting.

We have done a couple camping trips already this summer and our nephew Andrew was baptised on June 15th. Lots of great family and friend times.


Attaching some new pictures from camping, hanging out in the backyard and more camping. More camping booked and looking forward to getting the pool fixed ( new liner needed).

The First Camping Trip of '08 - Sandbanks PP

On the week-end we went to Sandbanks PP with friends from work. Although we knew that camping would be very different due to Charlie's activity level this year, it was interesting to see what he was like. We found that he was quite happy to entertain himself and was very interested in exploring everything in the outdoors. He also really seemed to enjoy having a playmate as he wanted to do everything that our friend's 6 year old daughter did. She looked after/played with him for hours on Saturday at the beach, on the site and inside the trailer. Camping with him is going to be a lot of fun this year.

Update - April

Well - I survived my 29th birthday! That will be the last one for a while - taken from my mom's example I will be just celebrating anniversaries now! Had a great day and celebrations.

So it's official - we can announce that Charlie will be a big brother in September. I am currently 16 weeks along and starting to feel better - finally! I have been quite ill with this pregnancy - quite different than with Charlie. I'm not banking on anything but I'm sure only girls can be this much of a hassle! :)

Here are some new pictures of Charlie. He loves his new rubber boots which is the central theme of most of the pictures. Charlie is growing like a weed and apparently kissing all the cootie girls he can find! The last month or so has seen him suffer croup and right now he is dealing with a yucky cold. Bring on the warm weather - we are all tired of being sick!

We celebrate Cam's 30th birthday next month - until then.....Adieu!

Florida

At the end of February we went to Ft Myers, Florida to visit Nonna and Grandpa. We had a great time golfing, shopping, swimming and relaxing in the beautiful weather. It was very nice to spend time with Uncle Mike and Zia Mirella who joined us for a few days. Charlie loved being outside and exploring everything. He will have lots of fun this summer.

Chuck E Cheese's

On Monday morning I took Charlie to the Mouse's house. Thanks to a pocketful of tokens from Nana and Popa he had a great time on the jungle gym and watching the bowling, basketball and soccer among other things.

Newfoundland

I returned home on Saturday after a week of snowmobiling and skiing in Newfoundland. The scenery is absolutely beautiful, weather conditions were great and the people are better than both of those! We spent time on the Northern Peninsula, in Gros Morne National Park and at Marble Mountain. I am looking forward to the day that we can visit the province and people as a family in the summer months when the mountains can be climbed and whales are in the bays.

January

Things are still busy around here - Cam is gearing up for a trip to Newfoundland on the 18th with Kris et al and I'm gearing up for some skating competitions. We fill our weekends with friends and family. Last weekend Zofia was over for a play date. Charlie has a little crush on her! Also adding some pictures of Charlie's new .22 - apparently his old one was worn out!

Oh and Charlie got a new haircut - courtesy of Daddy! Think they look alike now?
