Sorry for the delay in sending out the blog, but I (Jane) went home to Hamilton on December 8th to spend an early Christmas with our kids and extended family. Many important family events have taken place recently and it was good to catch up with each of them.
First off, our oldest son Bart and his wife Sharon purchased their first home in nearby Stoney Creek, this past November. They were gracious hosts to share their home with me this trip and fun to play games with at night.
Then, our daughter in law Julie had an emergency appendectomy in the 5th month of her pregnancy and has experienced some complications as a result of the surgery. She is on complete bed rest at this point and we pray for patience during her time of confinement. Paul has finally completed his education at Redeemer University College and is looking forward to starting his new job in January. In the meantime, he keeps a careful watch on Julie ensuring that she gets the required rest the doctor ordered.
And finally, our 3rd son Calvin announced his engagement to Natalie after 3 years of dating. What a whirlwind of activity in the Huizinga household has been!
Dan, our youngest son is on the home stretch with only 4 more months of school to go to complete his college education in Transportation Engineering. He is currently finishing up his 2nd co-op with the Hamilton Street Railway (public transit) and is enjoying it immensely.
I thank the Lord for the opportunity to be able to spend some time with each of our children and their spouses, and especially being able to visit with our parents and extended family members during their Christmas celebrations.
John was able to get a virtual home tour of Bart & Sharon’s home via the internet during our family Christmas celebration since he was not able to join me this time…..but wait until our first grandchild is born next year…nothing will keep him from returning for this special event.
