got up at 2:15 as the plane arrival time had changed before I went to bed…

the car was outside as we had barbecued and I was going to pick up the kids…

car was covered in frost so took a while to clear the windows and it was very cold out…

drove slowly and got lost a few times on the base but eventually found the correct hangar…

once inside, was advised that the plane had just left Ottawa and wouldn’t arrive until 4:30 am… drove home and watched tv for an hour and headed back… this time I knew where I was going and actually got the kids…

had a lovely day with them in the house… one of Cyndi’s friends came by to visit this afternoon and she’s out with a bunch of her girlfriends tonight while Ron went off for a computer gaming night… Cyndi wore my warm jacket as it was so cold…

it is cold everywhere in the house… right now it feels like -43.5 so I guess that makes sense…

presents have materialized under the tree…
