Not sure what to call it

This will probably be very brief because, well, there's not much to speak of. The last couple of weeks have been pretty much the same thing. Walking the dog, going for a daily run, reading, playing tennis (sort of), and doing some random other things along the way.

As Christmas fast approaches, and believe me it doesn't even feel like Christmas, there's a few family things coming up, but nothing like at home. I'll be honest, I will miss Christmas at home. Overeating with my relatives, playing hockey with friends, Christmas caroling. The two of us have only got a few days left here in Cobden and the rest of our days should be filled with Christmas events and before we know it we'll be watching the fireworks near Sydney harbour.

I will be on the road for the next month or so and really don't know how often I'll udate, but I'm sure if you ask I might be able to find some time to write a little bit. Plans are coming together and our car has proved reliable so far and we're looking forward to what's in store in the near future. Some other exciting news is that Graham was accepted for a Sports DTS which will be starting in Perth this coming July. It would be awesome if you could keep the both of us in your prayers, especially Graham as he prepares to do his DTS. I'd love to here some Christmas stories from at home, or anywhere with snow for that matter. I'll talk to you all later, but for now I must go.

Cheers

Hi Zachary,
We will miss you at our gathering today for Christmas. We have snow, and it's REALLY cold (-20 to -30 C). Even Vancouver Island has snow this year. I remember going to the beach on Christmas day when I lived in AU. You wouldn't try that here. Our snow pile in front is getting bigger. Soon we will make the slide and the boys will be outside more. We made a gingerbread house this year, and we will demolish it at Oma and Opa's today. The boys loved decorating it. More CANDY! I was looking at pictures from 2 Christmases ago, when we all spent time snowmobiling, and towing the kids on the sleds. That was a good time, though we all smelt like gas after. We miss you. Take care. My aunt mentioned that you may be visiting around New Year's. That's great. She is a lot of fun. She is Ken's favorite aunt of mine. Merry Christmas Zachary! Love you lots, Aunty Maria
