Here is a little update or a big update. I have not updated the blog in months. Things with our family are good and busy. Since I have last posted Charlie turned 2! We had a wonderful family day for his birthday and then had his best friend Callum over for dinner. We had a great Christmas this year. It was a magical Christmas morning. This winter we had a lot of snow which Charlie just loved!! It was fun to see him throw snow balls at Papa. For New Years we went to Charlies girlfriend house Megans they are in the same class together and just happen to be one of our neighbours. I still can't believe it they both stay up until about 12:30. For my birthday we just went to the zoo for a few hours, (thank you to my mom and sister) they renewed our membership for the year. On Valentines Day, Martin had the day off but off I went to work. The boys stayed home and did a lot of baking. They made me a wonderful cake thanks again boys. Just last week we celebrated Martins Grandfathers 90th birthday. It was really nice a lot of the family got together and all went out for Sunday lunch.
Everyday Charlie makes me laugh he is growing and growing everyday. He has really developed a love for any game that has to do with a ball, soccer, football, tennis and of course squash. Martin recently took Charlie to play squash, they had a great time. But since September Charlie has had to go to the drs many times for his ear. We have discovered his has something that is called glue ear. We have one more appointment we are waiting for, he might have to have a minor operation on his ear we will know more in April. Oh and in January he gave his our first real scare, he fell playing in his bedroom and then he was walking with a limp. I thought lets just wait and see how he is in a few days. Well long story short and after 5 hours waiting in the hospital he doesn't have a broken leg! But the drs still did know what was wrong with his leg. But thankful he stopped limping after a few weeks. We think he just pulled a muscle.
We are all looking forward to Spring. We have lots of fun things coming up. Grammie is coming to visit for a few weeks in April. Then in May the Davis family is coming to visit. We would welcome any other visitors.

Making cake with Papa is always fun!!
Skyping with Grammie is always fun! Charlie wanted to take a picture of Grammie.
Santa brought Charlie a easel for Christmas. This is the first of many wonderful pictures.
The one thing that he really wanted for Christmas was a CAKE!!! We asked him for weeks what to do you want for Christmas he always said Cake so he was ever so excited when he opened his cake. He enjoyed every bite of that cake.
Right before Christmas we took Charlie to a Reindeer farm and to see Santa. We all had a wonderful day.
