We are BACK...

Yes we are home! I am a little slow in updating my blog but here it finally is. We celebrated our Christmas holiday in Hawaii this year with our kids and Grandma And Grandpa Schaffer, and Ashley and Ryker. It was a lot more work than with thought but overall we had fun. Eric started off sick before even reaching the Calgary airport. That sickness then travelled through out almost all of us. Grandma, Grandpa, Walker and Ryker managed to stay healthy. After an almost 9 hours on the plane with two babies screaming 75% of the trip we were happy to finally land in Hawaii. We spent the next ten days playing on the beach, shopping, and touring the island. The girls had a blast!!! I think on the plane ride home we beat our record of screaming than on the way there. We were happy to return home to our Canadian roots, only to find out that after sitting in -30 degrees for two weeks both of our cars would not start. We spent New Years in Mountain View with the Nelson's. The girls (and Eric) received their long awaited puppy "DUKE". We are happy that after all the fun and caois to finally make it back to Saskatoon. Grandma and Grandpa made new rules after spending the holidays with us that 1. Grandkids have to be ten to travel. 2. That they support Eric with his decision to stop having anymore kids, that 3 is enough!!!

We are excited for these next few months!!! Eric is done school in the middle of April. We haven't seem much of him lately as he is studying for boards in mid-March. Thanks to Nathan Wolsey we came home to a freshly painted house. Which we will be putting up for sale early spring, (cross your fingers it will sell). We will be off to Cranbrook, BC this spring where Eric will associate for a Dentist for a short while and then buy the practice in the near future. We are excited to move closer to family and a lot warmer weather.
