Jen's Folded Cards




Here are some of my cards that I have created lately. The lighthouse card was done for a sister of a friend. The Christmas cards were done a few months ago and I need to do some more (lots more). The tudor home has an opening in the middle for a greeting or a photo.

Fall Trip to the Zoo


On Saturday November 28th we went to the zoo. Although its been cold, it was a beautiful day. The kids were a little disappointed that the zebras had been put inside for the winter. We did get to see the giraffes get fed which was cool. We love to see the tigers in the Asian Highlands exhibit. There are big glass windows so you can be just inches away from the tigers and leopards. Its really neat. Dennis was a real trooper and was a little sore after all of the walking but he did great.

Halloween





The kids had a great time dressing up for Halloween this year. Cameron picked his firefighter costume. We really thought he would dress up as Murray Wiggle again this year so it suprised us that he chose something different. Kylie got her ladybug costume from Shirley (the lady with MS that Jen takes care of). She had fun fluttering her wings while running around.

Cameron's preschool class had a special program for the parents where the kids sang 3 songs. Cameron did a great job singing and Kylie wanted to join him even though she didn't know the songs. Papa Chick and Grandma Jonna came to visit on October 27th-28th. Grandma and Jen went to a Psych-K training on Friday and Saturday. That night we went to a family Halloween party with Dennis' side of the family. Cameron was sooooo excited to win the big tub of cheese balls. Aunt Mary stopped by to visit on Halloween night and went trick or treating with Jen and the kids. We didn't stay out too long but it was still fun.

Update on us...


Well it has been 3 months since we've posted so I decided it was time. Most of our friends and family know that 2 months ago Dennis fell off a deck he was building and broke his back. Thankfully, he will heal and be back to normal soon. He is getting around great now and even went with us to the zoo last week. He will go in for xrays in about another week and probably be off work for another month or so. We are grateful that he wasn't hurt worse. We have enjoyed the extra time he has had to spend at home but look forward to him getting better.
