You were diagnosed with scoliosis late last year and you have been doing physical therapy for a few months now.  I'm pleased with how well you do the therapy, when we have to do it several times at home between visits to the therapist.  I know it's not your favorite, but you seem to be mature enough to understand that it's for your benefit.

You're also doing well with skiing this season.  We have been trying new blue runs and you're doing great.  The only time you have fallen was one random day, maybe your second day on the slopes this season and for some reason you fell several times getting off the bunny hill lift.  You were for sure frustrated, but things improved later in the day and you had fun.  

During your guys' winter break last week we took a day trip to Pomerelle and we had a lot of fun.  There were lots of runs that were very long and fun for us.  Your favorite run was called Spud.  Papi got a photo of Freddy with the sign for that one.

Yesterday you and your friend Charlie got to sweep the court floor for the last Boise State Women's basketball game of the season.  You seemed a little unsure about the idea, but by the end you guys were cleaning that floor with confidence, you got a great court side seat, and later that night you told me you'd consider doing it again if given the chance.  It was fun watching you from my regular seat in the stands and I took some videos of you doing it.
