We've had a busy week here in Thunder Bay and vicinity. Bill travelled out to Hornepayne (about 500 km east of here) for a school visit on Monday and Tuesday. He got back Tuesday evening. We celebrated Haaken's birthday that evening; he turned nine years old—the end of the single digits. I don't think I remember my ninth birthday. Or even my forty-ninth, for that matter! My fiftieth—I remember. We were in Zambia, and Steve Mann killed a spitting cobra just outside of our house! I'm not looking forward to having such memorable birthdays anymore, although this year we plan to be in Zambia again!
The Bailey crew left Saturday morning for Orlando, Florida and two weeks in the sun. They called in the afternoon to say they had arrived and that it was raining!! The weather has been colder here, but we're still hitting around minus five each day. The locals say it is a remarkably mild winter and that we shouldn't get used to it!
Kristian had another vaccination this week—he doesn't appear to enjoy them at all. Otherwise he continues to grow and develop. We're enjoying him a great deal.
Wendy, Erin & Kristian plan to leave this coming week to spend some time on the prairies—I guess they're really missing winter!
And that's the kind of week it's been here on Lake Superior. Happy Birthday, Verner!
