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?

Christmas

This year as usual we spent Christmas with lots of friends and family. On the 22nd we went to Alicia's parents' house for dinner with them, Nonna, Ian and Adalia, Tony and Uncle Mike, Aunt Mirella, Faye, Nina and Sophia who were here from Halifax. The next day my Mom and Dad hosted their annual Johnston Family Bowling (16th annual?). On the 24th we were back to my Mom and Dad's for their Christmas Eve open house, another annual event. For Christmas morning we up to Alicia parents for gifts with the same crew that was there on the 22nd, then came down to my parents for gifts with them , Ally, Scott and Andrew, Uncle Ian, Sean and Scott (and girlfriend Kayla), Grandma and Lynz. Sandra and James joined us for dinner. Charlie had a great time opening gifts, playing with the loot and spending time with everyone. Thanks to all!

Charlie's trip to Florida

On Saturday Charlie and Alicia arrived home from a trip to Fort Meyers with Nonna and Grandpa. The weather was great with temps in the low-mid eighties every day which made it great for swimming and trips to the beach and Naples Zoo.

A couple new additions!

On November 15th, a day before he was due - Andrew Grant was born at 10:42pm weighing in at a lean fighting weight of 8lbs 6.5 oz. Too cute! Congrats to all - Allison, Scott and Andrew are doing great!

On November 23rd, 2 days before she was due to arrive - Kona joined our family. She is a seven month old mixed breed hound dog. She is making the adjustment well.

Here are some pictures of Andrew, Kona, Trigger and an updated pic of Charlie!

Piano lesson

Today Charlie and I went to Nana and Papa's to install some new windows. Nana and Auntie Linda went out for a while so Gigi came over to keep Charlie out of the construction area. Charlie showed Gigi that he could stand up at the piano bench and Papa helped him up so he could tinkle the ivories for the first time. We're pretty sure that it won't be the last.
