Happy New Year!

We're Back!

I think we almost died going a week without internet, but we made it...

Flying into Toronto, you could tell that the weather has been different over there from here. I think the entire time we were there, we saw the sun maybe once. The ground was covered in a good blanket of snow, and the weather was actually more winter-like and below 0 most days.

It was very busy week. Every day was taken up with going somewhere, meeting someone or doing something. On Tuesday night, we got all the family together for a big Christmas dinner. Mmm..Turkey! Meg got to meet the Lintons (Mom's side of the family), most of whom she hadn't ever met before. The cousins took an instant liking to her, which I guess comes naturally with a Kid's pastor. It was a fun night, and I think it was a little overwhelming, but fun none-the-less.

On Wednesday, we met up with Meg's friend Dan and his girlfriend Amanda, who drove up from Ohio to see us. We took him 5 pin bowling(that's right, 5 pin) just to do something Canadian. It was good to catch up with him, and we really appreciated him driving all the way from Ohio to see us.

The big highlight of Thursday was our chance to drive down to Niagara Falls. It was a rainy day, so weren't sure what the weather would be like, but we went for it anyway. As you can see by our gallery pictures, there wasn't much to see that day because it was so foggy and misty. And when it gets damp in winter it gets cold...really cold. We braved it out there for a few minutes, but not for too long. We also took a stroll around the nearby town of Niagara-on-the-Lake. The poor people live there...yeah right. I doubt if any houses there go for less than a million...

Friday, we took the epic journey to downtown Toronto and saw the Hockey Hall of Fame. It was absolutely amazing. There is so much stuff there. We even managed to find a jersey of an Australian team, I'll try and find the picture later.

New year's Eve. From what I hear, Bendigo was a very hot-spot, hovering around the 40 degree mark. UGH!
Meg and I went to the hockey game last night. It was very exciting game...but not a very good end. Calgary managed to score the go-ahead goal with only a minute and half remaining in the game. A bit of a fluke, if you ask me. To be honest though, it was a very good and exciting game. Meg was excited about it.

well, Feel free to check out our gallery pictures of our trip. And please write to us.
I hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas and New year

Jer and Meg!
