News Update

A cold week comes to an end here on the shore of Lake Superior. It struggled to make single digits below zero each day, although this weekend, we're back into melting on the streets.

It has been a busy week of work as I have redone the budget to accommodate an additional $40,000 money bomb from the Ministry of Education. But that is completed now, and various others are now delegated to spend the bonus money, so I am able to head off on holidays next week.

We have planned a month-long trip down to Texas and back through Saskatchewan. We are looking forward to spending time with our families and with our dear friends from Zambia who are enrolled in University at Abilene. Finally, I look forward to enjoying the Brier—our national men's curling championship in Winnipeg. I received tickets to the event as a Christmas present! What generous children I have!

Kristian continues with his eye treatments. Medical reports are positive, but we still remain concerned. He started his first trial at the university day care, and seemed to enjoy it a great deal. The only unpleasant part was when Erin arrived to take him home!

Wendy has been busy, cleaning the house so we can leave?! and finishing up the financial year end for the church, as she does the books there.

It's a long weekend here in Ontario, so we're enjoying having Eric/A and the boys with us. And that's about it for this week.
