News Update

Papa can now sit up!

Another week has passed on the shore of Lake Superior in my hometown. Wendy has left me; I know, some of you are noting your surprise that it lasted so long! In this case, she has flown to Regina via Toronto to be with her dad during his surgery. Imagine flying further east than the distance she wanted to get west! She calls every day, so I think we may still have a future! Dad had his surgery on Wednesday; by all accounts, it went well. He has begun the healing process, and daily physiotherapy. We are grateful for the progress so far, and excited over what is yet to come. Otherwise, we continue to play it by ear, not knowing the schedule or whether she will come home, or I will drive out to Regina. The weather here has continued to be mild; we are glad to be having an easy winter so far. The Greeks have continued to plague the markets, so it hasn't been a good week on the investment front. I have been busy preparing a two-part presentation on Marriage to be preached to the congregation beginning on the 19th. Wendy's days are spent in shopping, meal-preparation and hospital visits. She's very good at these assignments! I had a meeting with my denturist on Tuesday. He has prepared the metal form for my new partial plate. He checked out colour samples; now, he will begin setting some teeth. 

Eric/A have been busy with birthday celebrations this week as each of the boys has a birthday in early February. 

Erin keeps busy with work. She has been suffering with neck and back pain this week. She thinks it's the flu. I think she should check out some other possibilities. Kristian has had a good week at school. He got his report card on Friday; it declared that he was doing well. 

Trav's team lost the championship game of the weekend tournament, but otherwise have continued their winning ways with two convincing wins in league play, this week. His work goes well, and he has heard of some developments on the office search front—a new location is being considered. Joanna keeps busy with work and kids. Still they found time to have us over for supper on Sunday. Thanks guys! 

And that's about it for this week.
