News Update

And a wintry week comes to an end on the shore of Lake Superior. This week was spent around TBay, with most of the work week being comprised of our annual conference.

We began the week digging out from a major snowstorm. It began on Saturday night, and by Sunday morning we were snowed in. After church we had a meeting at our place, so Erin went out to begin clearing a path to get her car out for a Monday morning trip to work. Well, wouldn't you know—the neighbour soon came over with his snowblower to clear our driveway. Now, why didn't he ever offer that when I was out shovelling!? Anyway, he cleared part of the drive so she could get out, and I began shovelling on the remainder! On Monday, I began shopping for a snowblower, and was able to buy a second-hand one for $395. It seems to work fine.

The conference was Wednesday through Friday. I had a project update on Wednesday and a full day of workshops on Thursday. The conference turned out quite well.

Kristian has developed a new trick. After he puts his mother to sleep, he wanders back up stairs to play with his toys! One night this week, Wendy and I had already gone to bed as well, and we could hear him out there playing in the dark. What a kid! Grandma puts him to sleep in the toy room, and Mom seems quite surprised to find him missing in the morning!

Erin has transferred to Ontario residency so she has registered her car down here. Her work continues to progress well.

Wendy continues with Christmas baking so I'm enjoying that.

And that's about it for this week.
