Well, it finally happened. This morning we woke up to a white winter wonderland. It really is beautiful, although the temperatures are sure cold.
The picture is from a recent outing with Rocky's brother, Myles, and his family.
Rocky has been busy this past week working on finishing off the renovations in our basement suite. We really had barely moved in last year before we left for Guatemala, so many things were left unfinished. He has also taken on a bathroom renovation so we have a little money for Christmas.
I have been busy unpacking boxes that were stuffed in under the stairs to see what we really have and still need to give away in order to fit into our downsized living quarters. It's all good, although. The transition into a smaller residence has been a good one. It is amazing how much stuff you accumulate that you don't really need or even use. For example, I had 8 twin sized comforters and only 1 twin sized bed. Why, you might ask; well I asked the same thing and couldn't come up with a good reason. I now have 2 and good will has 6.
I am also working on our third newsletter to fill everyone in on where we are at and what the future holds for us. I know there is still a lot of work to be done on editing and updating Impact documents, so I am going to get back to that task this coming week as well.
Our kids are all busy and doing a variety of things. Arryn has been taking a TESL course (Teaching English as a Second Language) at TRU so that has occupied some of her time. She is also looking for part-time work, which prayerfully she'll find soon. Hope seems to stay busy with school and homework - I love grade 11 math! Marshal is somewhere in Nicaragua enjoying the surf and sand, and Alex is finishing up this semester of nursing at TRU and looking forward to Christmas break.
There is a little update on our family's activities.
Blessings,
Karren
