This is what the holidays are all about. Watching some quality shows and working wirelessly on your laptops.

Progressive Supper

The 2nd Annual Progressive Supper was held on Wednesday, December 21st. Val organized this event involving 9 couples.

We began at Buchanan's with appetizers supplied by Penny and Julie. We headed over to Lisa's for soup made by Debbie. Sheri hosted and supplied a shrimp salad. The main course was at Val's and she prepared a chicken thing wrapped in a big fat noodle with almonds and green beans. That's a brutal explanation but Paula's not here to provide me with the correct details. We finished up at our house for Tarimsu.

Update: Allan and Darlene have posted more photos as well.

Meredith sings at Open Mike Night

Meredith took advantage of an open mike night at a local coffee shop Sunday night to perform with Kurt.

Her prof's have encouraged her to pursue these opportunities. They did very well and also performed well at a wedding Saturday and will also perform on Christmas Eve.

Something Stupid

The Road Trip

I'm sitting in a hotel in Jameston, ND eating pizza and watching football highlights. Me, Sam, Dalton, Tegan and Mark are on our way home from a weekend in Minneapolis. We saw the Timberwolves and Lakers, Vikings and Rams and a number of shopping venues.

We discovered Mark is an amazing shopper, Dalton prefers finding a nice bench and the hotel room was a dizzying array of sights and sounds. We learned many interesting things.

Bethlehem Live

Saturday we took Martha and her friend to Bethlehem Live. This is a dramatic portrayal of the Christmas story simulating the journey of Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem. Live actors and animals made this a nice beginning to the Christmas season.

I hate snow

It snowed today and I hate it. Martha was quite pumped and stayed out late building a snowman. Glad someone likes winter.

Bungee Jumping in Edmonton

This little clip is from summer. I'm trying out a new video service called Sharkle.

It's Official!

Although we've known for a few months, Meredith is now officially engaged to Kurt Buchanan. For those of you out of the loop this may come as a big surprise. Not to us. We're very happy and pleased with their decision.




Paula tells me this will be expensive.

Rudy Sings

Rudy provides us with a musical treat. Whenever Shea practices her viola, he joins her in a little duet. Here's a ten second clip of his howling.

The people I live with

Do prove that I have quite a challenging crew to work with, here's proof:


I'm obviously up and about doing work, as usual.

Here's Martha who not only snuck the camera but is engaged in a number of questionable activities. Taking a picture of herself in action, may not have been the best move.



Click on the picture to see the details of all the trouble she's got into.

The New Shower's in, the new shower's in!

I had my first shower in 2 months. That sounds bad but I can assure you I have bathed, even though I hate it. The renovations are not quite complete but for me, this is what I've been waiting for.

Looks like...Martha? Meredith? maybe even Shea.

Paula's dad recently purchased a slide scanner to convert his slides to digital. Not sure if this was a slide or old photo but we're hopin to get all our photos digitized.

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner Video

I did a little promotional video for our church today. Check it out. It's a 18MB download so if you're not on highspeed, start downloading, make a pot of coffee, do some laundry and it will ready.

Martha's Birthday

We got through Martha's birthday last week. It had a Paris theme. Here's the 3 minute highlight video.
