Meet the new members of the family!

Meet Rambo, Jimbo and Pippin the new members of our family.
We visited the Calgary Humane Society yesterday morning to look for a couple of kittens for when we move into our new house (5th March). These three guys were in a room together and needless to say we could not leave one behind! We adopted them expecting to have to wait before being able to bring them home but they were all good to go, so home they came. They have settled in very well and are getting thoroughly spoiled. Here are a few more pictures of the boys. Click here

Young Canadians

Today Sophie had a gruelling day at an audition for "The Young Canadians of the Calgary Stampede" it started at 09:00 (which meant an 08:30 start for us.) She had an hour & a half audition which consisted of singing & then a dance class & did well enough to get a "call back notice."

That was for 4pm - we couldn't really leave because the hockey team were playing at the park so if we left we would never have got back in! Luckily there was a restaurant so we went for a long lunch & a couple of equally long walks to pass the time!

One thing to bear in mind was that she woke up this morning with a raging sore throat & stinking cold, so was feeling pretty rotten to boot!

They were running late so the call back didn't start until 4.30 in the end. That took another hour and a bit. However, the long & short of it is that she got in!!! over 100 girls & she got into the final 16 that made it. There are also 16 boys but there were only 19 to start with to choose from!

They perform the Grandstand show at the Calgary Stampede this July - so there are some very lucky Grandparents who will be seeing their Grandaughter perform in a very big show!!

For those of you who don't know what on earth I'm talking about here's a link to their website: http://www.theyoungcanadians.com/

If you still don't get it look up the Calgary stampede on Google!

Needless to say we're very, very proud of her right now!

Just a quick note to all our friends in the UK - especially London - HOPE YOUR"E ENJOYING THE SNOW!!!! Heeheehee - PS we have bright sun & warm weather right now here in Calgary!!
