While we watch the last quarter of the Grey Cup game, and hope for a  Roughrider victory, I’ll update you on our weekend. Friday night, Jose and I went to a Galbraith staff party.  It was kind of a celebration of making it through parent/teacher interviews.  We got a babysitter, and had a great time.  [...]

The Saturday of our mini vacation began with a visit to Reptile World in Drumheller.  It’s really cool, but I started to feel a little creepy after awhile.  They have (according to their website) over 200 amphibians and reptiles.  There were snakes that were wider around that James and Julia put together.  Ew!  A 600lb [...]

We were in the Toyota dealership yesterday taking a look at the Rav4′s. Jose and I are considering trading in the lease on the Matrix for one. We were waiting for the sales guy, and James and I took a little stroll around the show room looking at the various vehicles. We came to a [...]

Sorry, I didn’t get right back to the Drumheller post like I wanted to.  I had started describing the Royal Tyrrell Museum, but started to fall asleep and was unable to continue. The museum was fabulous, and the kids thought the dinosaurs were very cool.  When you first walk in, there’s a family of Albertosaurus [...]

Since Jose has been working [...]

This morning, we had some rather weird weather here in Lethbridge.  Jose went out to put stuff in the car before we left, and he came back in saying that there wasn’t a cloud in the sky, but it was raining.  When it was my turn to go out, I looked towards Jose’s car (west) [...]

All right.  I’m feeling much more awake right now, so hopefully I’ll finish telling about Halloween tonight.  I gave myself a good giggle rereading the last paragraph of last night’s entry.  Inserting random words has happened to me before, usually with spoken words though.  I was reading James a story one time and suddenly became [...]

Another Halloween is over leaving behind more fond memories.  I believe this was one of the best Halloweens ever despite its rough beginnings. Since James’ first Halloween, Jose and I have co-planned a Halloween party with our friends Jess and Ryan.  This year it was to be held at our house, and the theme was [...]
