Another week has passed, and we have moved to the shore of Lake Wascana. We plan to be here until March. We enjoyed most of the week in Thunder Bay. We celebrated Christmas with Trav, Joanna, Gemma and Andrew with a lovely breakfast/brunch followed by the traditional Christmas movie—in this case: The Hobbit in 3D. That was very good. Then we retired to appetizers and finger foods until we could eat no more. We were blessed with many other gifts as well. What fortunate people we are! The markets continue to be troubled by the US fiscal foolishness; as a result, I had a down week. The weather has continued mild and with little snow in TBay, however, that was not the case as we drove west on Friday. Freezing rain west of Dryden chased several vehicles into the ditches, and it was slow going for the last couple of hours of Ontario. Once we got to Manitoba and the divided highway things went much better, and we pulled into Regina about midnight. We were greeted with mountains of snow and -28 degrees which was quite a shock to our systems. Fortunately, dad had a warm welcome and house waiting for us.
Eric/A and the boys spent Christmas in Langford with Eric's family. The boys enjoyed several new gifts. Liam is enjoying a new hockey stick and equipment bag—his first goal cannot be far behind! Haaken and Liam were introduced to Dungeons & Dragons—Haaken was not impressed. Eric/A celebrated their 19th anniversary at a Japanese steakhouse in Victoria—yummy! They are now back in Parksville; Eric is home until January 5th.
Kristian has been enjoying multiple Christmas celebrations, and that continued with the arrival of Grandma. His two top front teeth are loose, so we expect them to be out soon. Erin has been enjoying a few days off and multiple Christmas celebrations as well. Kiara and Kori were here for Christmas—part of a large group at the Roberts.
Trav will be taking care of the house while we're gone. We hope the truck continues to run well. He and Joanna are enjoying some time off this week as well.
And that's about it for another week!
