Charlie with a balloon.  Sorry it's so dark.

Here's Charlie's version of crawling.  

Here's a couple videos from tonight and a picture from a few weeks ago.

Charlie is learning to crawl but he's only at the commando stage.  He uses this to go forward and rolls when he needs to get somewhere in a hurry.  He's already more of a handful than Isabel ever was. 

The second is Isabel making her little brother Charlie laugh.  It's really nice to see how much they love each other.

The picture is of Isabel in one of her eccentric moments.  Flying an airplane daddy made and insisting on her bathing suit or "cat-suit" and sun hat on the coldest days of winter.

That's nothing though compared to her games with potatoes.... more on that later.

Sadie wearing Matthew's snowsuit and Jeff trying to take a nap before hockey.

Sadie singing "Twinkle, twinkle little star", but the best part is at the end when Matthew decides to get in on the action. Everytime he sees the camera now he yells "cheese!".

A couple more.  Charlie's really starting to laugh more and Isabel wanted a video of her playing her "whistle".

Hey Mum.. here's a couple little ones of Charlie and his hat so you can see his face better.

And finally, a couple little videos and poor little Isabel in a snit after we made a snowman... er snow"blob" more like it.

Merry Christmas everyone and Mum I hope this is a little like being with us today.  

Love, Stuart Debby Isabel and Charlie...
