Happy New Year!

Hi Everyone,

We made it back safely to very cold Calgary from very warm Australia over Christmas and New Year. Jakob had a great time meeting all of his Aussie family! They were so wonderful to him, showering him with way too many gifts and he was getting so many kisses from everyone I told them they were going to have to start paying for them!

Jakob did great on all of the flights...I think he was asleep during takeoff for nearly every single one of them...great traveler we have!

We are not so glad to have ended that holiday here as we went from +30 C to -30 C weather-wise. More than that, we are already missing our family and friends in Australia! Hugs and kisses to all of you, Aussie Family!

I have included a few photos and videos and believe nearly everyone gets my Kodak Gallery links (which will have more photos than you can imagine...this is coming soon).

Wishing everyone out there a very Happy 2009!

Love, Courtney, Wayne, Jakob, Rosco and Bailey

I love the new photos and videos, too, and have already reviewed part of the 201 photos on Kodak Gallery until it locked up my computer. I did note that I was on photo 176 when that happened so I don't have to start all over. But I did really love seeing everyone in the photos - felt like I was there with you. I'm so glad the Aussie family got to meet Jakob, and I know they love him just as much as we do.
Here's wishing your family a Happy New Year with many blessings!
Love, Mom/Pam/Nana Pam
