Happy New Year! I know it’s January the 3rd but Canada Post is taking the day off for New Years so it’s good enough for me. That’s the reason why Garry is not busy booking his ticket back to Ukraine today-(or on his way/already there) it appears the visas/passports got to Winnipeg on Thursday afternoon but did not make it to Woodridge and the post office Friday so hopefully the envelope gets there Tuesday morning, and then he can hunt for a flight back.
So this morning he is giving the boys a hand with herd check (the veterinarian visit) and will get to play one more basketball game with the boys tonight. I took some photos this morning about 8:20 (this horizon just starts to pink at 7:30 am now) when it was -25.5 C. (it is supposed to be -17 in Dnepro today- hopefully the straw wall is doing its job, luckily the weather has it warming back up to 6 later in the week there).
Our new years eve family pizza cook off was a success except there was no winner- everyone was stuffed full of many kinds of homemade pizza and almost everyone saw the new year in while sleeping (either they had to milk the cows at 5 am the next morning or were recovering from being sick.) Our oldest son and family drove home about 9:30 only to discover it was about a blizzard south at their house, but they arrived safely. We did finally remember to take a family photo- this one is good except Luke has only half a face - it's like where's waldo to find him.

The roads were cleared Sunday morning and we went to church over in Piney- Garry couldn’t remember when he last heard Matt preach (he’s going through the book of John now.) Small congregation with the holiday weekend and snow, the church is right at the border and has both Canadians and Americans attending. Two-year-old Havi tried to help her mommy play the last hymn, Matt had to run up and grab her after some high note plinking during the second verse (she had looked so cute sitting next to Kari with her thumb in her mouth at the start of the hymn).
