My little Yemenis in a real Canadian winter. They love it too. Our landlord (who wouldn't love him) has poured a rink in his back yard for our kids and takes them out to skate as often as they want or more. So Sarah is getting pretty good because she goes out the most. We'll have to get Emily out there so she's good on her skates when she goes skating with her class in February. Oh, by the way we are in the land of "no rental arenas" so I picked up some skates in the summer at a moving sale. Emily often refers to when she "used to live in Canada" and can't wait to visit (BC) one day.

Andrew and I are well. And Jonathan is squawking and squealing these days. It's lots of fun.....he usually wakes up with a smile.

Wish me well with housekeeping....one day at a time!

I love winter here in Saint John. Very reminiscent of Winnipeg this week. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't occasionally ask someone in the house (upstairs or downstairs) to keep Jonathan while I pick up the girls after school in the arctic weather.
