in other news, i despise winter.

I hate winter. Really, I look forward to a time in my life when I can up and leave Canada from December to March. This particular winter has been a doozy, with me getting a nasty chest infection, followed by spending January in bed due to C. difficile. Yeah, gross. But, in between all that nastiness, some good stuff happened.

My friend Alana got married, and I was her maid-of-honour:

My mom came for Christmas, and she and my little brother made a kick-ass Christmas dinner.

We got a new couch. The kids like it.

Chester, Max's Autism Service Dog, settled right in.

We participated in a documentary about working dogs that will be airing next month.

Scott and I got away for a night without the kids for the first time in four years. We had fun.

Cammie and I went on a visit to visit Jennifer and baby Milo in Ottawa.
So long Winter. You won't be missed.
