Last night the Herricks had a pizza party! Chesley was rewarded with a personal pan pizza, a five dollar bill, and a Super Reader Award certificate. The award was presented to him for reading 50 books! We are so proud of him and all enjoyed a great time of celebration.
Just last month, the New Tribes Mission Academy construction (read about the context on page two of our October 2009 newsletter) was completed. Soon after, all of the classrooms and equipment that were occupying space in the HQ building were moved back to their original locations.
This returned a few empty rooms to the headquarters building, allowing me to stake a claim on some space for my very own office. I’ve been thrilled with my new work area, and have been able to arrange some desks and shelves to house the equipment I need to work more effectively.
I even have my own telephone extension, woohoo! Though I still prefer IM. ;-)
The sun is shining bright, the sky is a beautiful blue, and there is a blanket of pristine white snow that lures you out of your home to enjoy the view. But, when you step outside the cold shocks your system and the wind is harsh enough to instantly change your mind about that short walk you were going to take. It has been terribly cold outside the last few days, even when bundling up.
Today the temperature is only -15°C (or 5°F) and last night it got down to -21°C (-5°F). The boys have been enjoying though. ;-)
Brrr!
