Warren blogged????
Wow, who knew Warren could blog? That was his first one ever. I haven't even nagged him in a long time to write an entry. We are having great weather. A couple of weeks ago it was 12 degrees. We took the kids to see Hoodwinked. It is cute. Brooke sat and watched it and ate popcorn and rolos almost until the end. Lauryn, who is usually scared in movies was quite calm. Well, better get back to doing what I came down stairs to do-laundry!

January?
Well, this is Warren.... I don't often blog myself, but I do read the blogs (which I enjoy), so it is not fair that our blog is so out of date. It is a nice to surprise to see a new entry when you click onto someone's blog.
We have been having quite the winter. You could almost mistake our weather for that of lower mainland BC. Well, we haven't had, what, 30 days of straight rain! But we are without snow, and yesterday was a bomby 9 degrees celcius. The winds have turned around and we are now sitting at -10. I got inspired today to build a small skating rink in the back yard. ( I guess I am expecting colder weather) Within an hour I had framed up leftover boards from the basement, and some leftover plastic. I flooded a fair amount of water which I am now letting freeze. I am going to have to put some taller boards on the one end as it is the clearly lower than the other end. I'll put some photos up once completed:>
Work has been busy, and is going to get busier. Seems like I am always saying that. I guess a person can only be so busy, it is just the rate at which you are falling behind that changes. Things will be falling behind over the next couple weeks:>
The girls are doing great. Lauryn seems to be enjoying Kindergarten, and Brooke is turning 3 in a month.
Kerry and I are going to be leading the youth at our church, starting the first Friday of Feb. There is no youth pastor, so we are forming a youth committee which will help in the planning of the events. Should be interesting. God is faithful, thankfully his strength is perfected in our weakness, so we'll put our trust in Him.
Well, I think I have run out of words. I could ramble on, but I will rather finish up and send you off to the next blog:>
Bye for now.

And the winner is........................
A couple of weeks before Christmas we went to the Algonquin Hotel in St. Andrews to make gingerbread houses with the kids. There was judging after and Lauryn won a prize for her age group. She was so proud. I helped her only by putting the house together and putting the icing where she told me to. She said she knows she won because of the unique snowflake design on the roof! Her prize is that she gets to go back sometime to a Mad Hatter tea party. Maybe we will save it for her birthday party.
