Merry Christmas! I am home right now with the flu, which Cameron and Courtney also have. Not fun. We didn't send out a Christmas letter because I think we keep updated enough via this blog. We really enjoy it- it makes it feel like we are a little closer to you guys (like 2000 miles, instead of 2500!). I am glad that many of you have started a blog too- we all love to see new pics. It has been a year of big change for us- new home, new church, new school, new job, new peers... and we are all doing well. Leshia handled the whole move with unbelievable ease, and the kids were too young to really know what was going on. It snowed most of last week, and we got a foot and a half over Chistmas Eve/Christmas day. I chained up the recycle truck and had a great time blasting through all of the fresh powder. Then it warmed up, and the roads were flooded in a lot of spots. Once again, really fun in a big truck! Leshia had a busy week with taking care of sick kids, doing Alica Buiter's wedding flowers, and trying stuff on her new sewing machine. Until next time...
