Our family
Anthony, 18mths and his oldest cousin Morgan, 18 yrs
Anthony loves the piano at Aunt Cynthia's. (the one his daddy learned on). We hope he will follow his dad with his love music and gift to play.
We went to visit Grandma Greene Christmas morning and she gave Anthony a dancing, talking Elmo. He calls him "Momo". We love watching him give him hugs. He is becoming quite the affectionate little guy.

Last week my cousin Stacey got married. Lauren babysat and Ed and I got to enjoy a nice time out. It was a beautiful wedding, great meal and lots of fun. Stacey looked beautiful.
My sister Corey and her baby bump were Bridemaids at the Wedding.

We were lucky to find a nice Mom in the neighbourhood to take Anthony to while I am back to work. Jenny has 2 of her own little ones and she runs a home daycare. She is very organized and she has put a lot of thought and effort into having a good quality home childcare. Anthony has really adjusted well and he looks forward to having fun with her each day. She takes candid pictures throughout the day for the parents to upload at home. It makes me feel good to go to work, knowing that he is happy and in a caring and fun environment.
Going for a wagon ride with the other two.
Learning and playingThis video was at Topsail Beach, Newfoundland. It wasn't very far from where we stayed. While Ed was busy taking pictures, I met a nice couple that were admiring our son. They said to make Anthony an "Honourary Newfie" we should dip his toes in the Atlantic Ocean. Normally, to become an Honourary Newfie you must take a shot of Newfoundland Screech (Rum). Also called getting "Screeched In". Of course, Anthony is still too young for that. We thought dipping his toes in the ocean was a great idea!
St. John's has a lot of colourful row houses in a very hilly downtown.
Anthony was a great little traveller. He slept for most of the 3.5 hr plane ride and we were thankful to receive a complimentary seat for him with Westjet. This picture was at O'Reilly's Pub on George Street, where we enjoyed tasty fish & chips and we also met a couple travelling from Inwood near my hometown. It really is a small world.

Gorgeous view of St. John's Harbour and downtown from the top of Signal Hill at Cabot Tower. This was our 2nd day of our vacation and the weather was beautiful the whole week.
Ed's cousin Gail was very kind to let us stay at her home. This was the great view we had from her deck in Paradise, Newfoundland. As you can see, the name suits it.
We went on a great Whale Watching boat tour!! The picture isn't enough, you have to experience it. The two humpback whales we saw were doing a great show for us and we got so close. I couldn't believe how big they were. They are majestic to watch.
Bay Bulls, the town where we went whale watching.
Early evening at Topsail Beach. Lots of trees, trails and a beautiful sunset.
