Greetings from Winnipeg!
The fam is back from our sojourn to Gimli. There have been plenty of goings-on, including a couple of scares about the health of Kurt and Kaleigh, who both had to be rushed to the hospital on Christmas day. They are in better spirits and on the road to recovery now, so don’t worry.
But the stars of this post are my mother and her new husband Cesar, who just got married in Everett this morning!
Just got off the phone with them. They had a lovely and intimate ceremony by the sound of it, and are now kicking off the honeymoon with a nice dinner at their bed and breakfast hideaway somewhere in the Pacific Northwest.
So hugs and kisses to Mom and Tito Ces. When we return to Vancouver, I will do my best to get off my lazy bum and write about our time here and annotate / geotag the mess of photos we’ve taken!

Andy found this great webcam feed of Gimli a while back. Looks like we are going to have a really white Christmas!
Kurt and I have been visiting his family in Winnipeg now for the past 5 Christmases. This year is the first time we’ll be spending the holidays at their new cottage in Gimli, a hair’s breadth away from the shores of Lake Winnipeg. Jared tells me the lake is frozen over and ice fishing is a possibility (though I have to find myself an auger and another person in the family crazy / bored / willing enough to try it with me).
We’ll be in town Dec 21-30th, but in Gimli from the 24th on. Would love to catch up with you much-missed Winnipeggers the night of the 22nd…salsa anyone??
my husband, the chartered accountant.

After two months of nail-biting and one evening of sleepless debauchery with our pal Rob, Kurt got his UFE results back. He of course passed with flying colours. Just two more PD days and filing of paperwork before his business cards will read “Kurt Hamilton, C.A.”
Congratulations, hon!
