We've had a week of cold weather on the shore of Lake Superior in my hometown. My bus has succumbed to the cold, and now gets plugged in each night. It was struggling to start at zero, so it is not a surprise that -20 proved too much! We've not had much more snow, but some is falling today. The markets have continued to be troubled; this week the decline is blamed on the government—who knew they could actually get together and accomplish a two-year spending plan?! That was too much for investors to digest and they went into a selling mode! So, I experienced the pain of a losing week. The week started with a big win by Brad Jacobs in the Olympic Curling trials. He will now be our representative in Sochi, and I'm expecting a medal for sure—hope it's gold!
Eric seems to be suffering from education withdrawal; he applied for and has been accepted to Penn State for a Post Bachelor Certificate in Autism. Fortunately he can do this on-line and work at the same time.
Eric, Haaken and Liam have been preparing for Bethlehem Walk this week. The church is expecting 10,000 visitors. Wow! Eric has had several practices this week, and the boys have made some really great drawings. Erica is amazed at their talent and how their styles are so different. Haaken sees things from such interesting angles and Liam is just so meticulous in his art. Both amazing!
Erica has continued to have meetings every night this week. The Facilities Review continues with reports due earlier, meetings held earlier, and work having to be done earlier in preparation for the Christmas break. She's really looking forward to the break!
Erin and Kristian have FaceTimed several times. Kristian has had a haircut to match with Sadie! They seem to be getting ready for Christmas, but Erin has also suffered some ill health that has interfered with some of her planned activities. We look forward to seeing them at the end of another week.

On Friday evening, we had a combination celebration for Andrew's Birthday and Christmas with Trav, Joanna and crew. We chose the traditional all-you-can-eat buffet at the China House; it was very good! Wendy scored a lovely iPad mini courtesy her children; she was surprised and delighted! I got some great gifts as well. Thank you guys! Best of all, we had an occasion together, complete with duelling helicopters, and nothing beats that!
And that's about it for this week!
