Unplanned Nap
Today Adelaine turns six months old!
It was a year ago that Naomi and I were in New Brunswick for vacation and complications started with the pregnancy. The doctors initially told us that the unborn child likely will not survive.
One year later we are back in NB, but this time we are celebrating the six months of life of dear little Adelaine, our happy little baby!
The two Hawaiian pizza lovers (HPL for short) will dutifully take a few slices of their Hawaiian pizza. Meanwhile, the other three good pizza lovers (GPL) look in dismay over their slice at this little pizza that has to be divided by the three of them.
Then it happens.. the HPLs decide that they also want to partake of the good pizza too (it is good after all) and take a slice or two each. The GPLs are distraught and hungry over this grave injustice. The end result of this sad situation: two full Hawaiian pizza lovers, three other hungry people, and four slices of unwanted leftover Hawaiian pizza.

This is exactly the situation where a Pizza Eaters Code of Conduct is needed. What I propose is this:
Should you be in a group and want a lesser pizza (be it Hawaiian, vegetarian, or really anything not loaded with cheese and meat) you must then consume only that lesser pizza. Once the others have sat back and loosened their belts you may then abandon your lesser pizza and proceed to eat a slice of the greater pizza (Meat Lovers, Canadian, etc.).
Your comments are welcome. Oh, and Stephen Harper, if you have dropped by again, please talk to your guys about bringing this into law.
Ellie loves airplanes. Go outside with her or even near a window and she will spot an airplane and repeat “I see an aaiiiiirpane” until you too observe it. So we knew she would be excited to go on an airplane as we travel to the Maritimes for a vacation and deputation work.
Our first weekend in my home town has been quite busy, but we have been able to reconnect with lots of people right away. Friday night was a BBQ for my home church.
Saturday was a Johnstone reunion to honour my grandmother’s 80th birthday.
Johnstone clan. Great grandmother, grandmother, Troy’s sisters.
Ellie catching bubbles. More on their flickr page
Troy and his cousins Devin and Darryl
And the lucky ladies who married those guys.
Its Troy pretending to be Darryl. No wait.. its Darryl pretending to be Troy. At least Ellie knew the difference.
Forget cake. We were saving space for Uncle Brian’s famous BBQ chicken wings.
Unfortunately, Darryl got most of them.
Sunday saw us in Woodpoint twice, once to share about our ministry at Woodpoint Baptist Church and then again in the afternoon for my grandfather Wheaton’s 80th birthday party and Father’s Day BBQ.
“I’m the Boss” Or so says his pin at least.

Ellie playing in the fountain. Who needs expensive toys?
Playing ring toss
Whew.. busy first weekend home but we were glad to see lots of family and some old friends.
P.S. my sister rented a Nintendo Wii. We have been having some fun with that.
Dell has created a good introductory video called “Linux 101: Whats all the fuss?” for their Ubuntu computers
David and Sherry Buck – June 9, 2007
This past weekend I was privileged to be the photographer for David and Sherry Buck’s wedding. It was a really nice day and a great testimony of God’s working in their lives.
With the help of a number of our friends who helped with babysitting, Naomi was able to come along and be my assistant.
Stay tuned for more photos of the wedding sometime soon. We are going to be busy trying to prepare to leave for the Maritimes this week, so it might take a while.
