We are still here.....brrr it's a little chilly!

Today Josh and I went to watch Harriet in the Santa Clause Parade in town. She was with K9 kapers, the dog agility club she joined this year. It was a very long parade on the coldest evening so far this winter, -18 with wind chill, after an hour and a half and still more floats were coming we gave up and went to defrost!


Harriet is in the centre of the picture in the blue and white coat.

On Wednesday evening through to Thursday lunchtime we had the second storm of the month and the second snow day. About a foot of snow fell unfortunately the snow blower decided to have a day off so it meant rather a lot of shovelling!
The chickens sunning themselves in the shed doorway.

We have been filling the freezers with pork recently so we have less animals to overwinter, saying that though we have had 4 litters of piglets born in the past 6 weeks totalling 19 piglets.

David has been busy putting the new siding on the house but the dark nights and cold weather are slowing things down.

I survived the crazy 6 weeks at work and after running 5 conferences plus other commitments things have quietened down a lot.

David has been promoted at work to the support manager for Canada, he's really enjoying this new challenge.

Isaac is really enjoying student life in St Andrews, he's been home this week on a placement in Fredericton.

We went with Josh to a UNB open evening a couple of weeks ago, he applied to study there and has been accepted for September 2015 studying Computer Science.

My mum and dad are coming across to spend Christmas and New Year with us which will be great, only 3 weeks before they arrive!
