Well talk about your welcome home weather! Gone for 5 weeks and hardly any temps below 0 and we get back and BANG!! -40 with a windchill warning! To me once you see -40 you shouldn't need a warning! It is just plain cold. However I am feeling extremely spoiled with my command start in my truck. It may eat fuel when it is cold, but it sure warms up nice! The kids love it. So we are not minding the cold so much. John however has been parking his diesel SUV at the hospital and WALKING 20 mins to work. WALKING! I guess the new Canadian passport really does change a person!
Matt is back in Red Deer after rehab and spending Christmas in Weekes. We sure missed everyone and so glad to see them again. Matt was doing quite well until the weekend and started to feel flu like symptoms, tired, nauseated, fever. Mom and Matt came over to our house on Friday to see some videos and pictures of South Africa. I made homemade pizza, which he usually loves but he hardly ate any. Matt very seldom complains but you could tell he wasn't feeling 100%. He actually felt awful until Tuesday but today we chatted on the phone and sounds like his usual self!
Matt is looking forward to be back in rehab. He misses all the hard work and the staff. But Matt can get along with almost anyone. We are looking forward to his 25th birthday on February 28th. We really wanted to go to Vegas but I think Matt has gotten cold feet! Worried about how he would get on the plane, where they would put his chair, altitude and his lungs, etc. So we may have to come up with something special here. We are looking forward to seeing Aunty Karen and Uncle Neil and Aunty Brenda and Uncle Bob in February for the Scott's Tournament of Hearts. It should be a good time as always.
Bundle up and keep warm! This too shall pass.

Hi everyone. Good to read your blog again....we missed hearing all the news.
It was so good too see your mom, dad, Matt, Charity, Jacki, Gary & family at Christmas. Of course, it was noisy with all the card games going on. We enjoyed being in Weekes and staying at Karen & Neil's again in mom and dad's house. Still feels like home.
Glad you made it back safe and sound from South Africa. Can't wait to hear all about it and see all the pictures. Take care and KEEP WARM. Love Auntie Sandy
