Update

Just an update on the Blabbing Canadians. We finished our two weeks of school vacation and happily (NOT) look forward to going back to homework tomorrow. I am hoping to get my Christmas lights down as it is to get up to about 60 tomorrow. The kids have spent their holidays sledding, shopping, and relaxing. Julia and Daniel each bought a MP3 player and have put some Odessey CDs on them. They hope to use these for the very noisy bus ride to and from school. I am not used to having to compete with these things for their hearing. I sometimes talk to them and realize they have not heard a word I said because they have ear buds in their ears! How convient!
I am guessing that work will slow down for me at the Post office now with the Christmas rush over. I am feeling more confident working the counter, though. Oh well, there is always plenty to do at home, it is just not as exciting!
Leah has the opportunity to board her new horse, Blaze, at a neighbor's horse farm with a big indoor arena and do some jumping lessons on him in exchange for her help with cleaning stalls. She is somewhat excited, except for the fact she doesn't know these people that well and feels shy.
Jim is working on a possible trade on a car for his dirtbike. David, you better hurry if you want to buy it! Andrew is hoping for the car as it is a sporty black thing.
No puppies yet. Just a very fat Ellie and a happy Odie. I told Hannah and Leah (who are very disappointed that there were no puppies for the holidays) they could stay home the day she has them.
