I'm Alive!

Well, I'm back

That's right. I've figured that my team has gone pretty darn far ( alot farther than most people would've predicted) and I fear no taunting and teasing. And Meg says that I can't talk about hockey anymore now that its done....for now...wait until October!

But things are progressing along nicely here in Bendigo. Everything here seems to move along at a slower pace though. For those of you who don't know, Meg had an ultrasound last week, our first one! It was very cool, but a little disappointing. We thought were about 18 1/2 weeks but we found it that we were only 15 1/2 weeks along, moving the due date to December 7th. The doctor said to just keep the original date of November 16th, just in case, anyways. The disappointing part (and I'll probably get comments on this) is that we couldn't find out the sex of the baby. In fact, I'm not even sure it's human. They took a picture of its face and its the kind of thing you find in your nightmares. It feels like we'll have some unknown creature bursting from Meg's stomach in a Spielberg-esque birth. But we get to have another ultrasound in a few weeks, in which we hope to find out the sex and all the other tests they need to do at that stage. You get to see cool things like the heartbeat and its fingers and toes and how it's wigling around in there even though she still can't feel it. Soon enough, they say...soon enough.

Meg has just finished her School Holiday program which I'm sure shes happy about. It was a lot of work for her and her team, having 35 kids from 8:30-3:30 while its raining outside. How she managed to keep from going crazy, much less keep the kids from going insane is beyond me. But there were quite a few kids who went along who'd never been to Victory before, which was kind of the whole point, so that was good.

Umm...what else...work is going well...nothing to report there. Church is going along swimmingly. (Why swimming is used as a metaphor doesn't make a lot of sense to me)

Well, you can now consider yourself up-to-date. Cross that off your your to-do list, just under "Trek Great Wall of China" and "Solve Fiendish Sudoku".

I have a great idea for my next blog...so expect another one real soon!
