We went snowboarding yesterday with my brother Francisco & sister Natalia.  Jennifer had to stay on the sidelines due to the baby.  It was a good day, we got there at noon so so could only do a half day.  I had only one big fall but nothing serious.  The snow in Fernie B.C. is not that great, they were making most of it.  Here are some pix of the trip

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.  Jose and I have been very fortunate to be able to spend time with his family for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.  We are going to Medicine Hat this afternoon so we can go to Jose's mum's Christmas party at work.  Tomorrow my mum, my sister Catherine, her boyfriend, Chey, and my brother Paul are coming for a belated Christmas celebration.  Unfortunately, my sister Claire can't come, because she has to work.

The sixth Harry Potter book is finished and is scheduled for release July 16, 2005.  It's called "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince."  Click here for an article about the release, and here for JK Rowling's website.

Today is the first day of winter, and we'll have the least amount of sunlight.  I'm always kind of glad when we hit this point because it means the days will start getting longer as of tomorrow.  Only two-and-a-half days left of school!

The last week of school is underway, and I'm pleased to say, the kids aren't too hyper - yet.  Let's hope they stay that way for my sanity and their safety.  Jose and I are both looking forward to a quiet holiday.  The last couple of weeks have been extremely busy, and we could really use some down time.  This weekend we went to Jose's Christmas party on Friday night, had a friend over for supper on Saturday, went for breakfast with friends Sunday morning, and out for supper at friends' Sunday evening.  We were introduced to the hilarious game of Spoons.  A noisy, active, sometimes violent game that was extremely fun.  Anyone coming for a visit may be subjected to playing.... if they dare!
Bye for now,

Our Christmas tree is up, and gorgeous.  Jose didn't want a real tree, but it's just not the same without a real one.  He said if I wanted a real tree, I had to go and get it myself.  So I did.  And I picked a really nice one too.  That was Friday afternoon, and Saturday morning I decorated it.  I was wide awake by 7:00, so I figured I might as well do something productive before we left for Calgary.  We haven't had much time to sit and enjoy it, but we're staying home for Christmas this year, so hopefully there will be some time for that over the holidays.
Bye for now,
Jennifer

Wow, this month is going way too fast. I keep meaning to put up lights & a Christmas tree but we are almost half way through the month.
Christmas plans are still non-existant. I don't want to travel with my pregnant wife if I don't have to, specially when it is cold outside. It would be nice to have our families down here for Christmas.
Snowboarding season is almost here, I can taste it. I went and got my Louise card so I can get some good discounts at Fernie, but I'm so out of shape it would be a waste of money to go now ( I would go down the mountain a couple of times and I would have a heart attack).
Happy holidays
