Jena's latest Project

Below is Jena's latest project that we just got around to getting rid of. It is something she tried for the first time and has decided one time was enough. Through tears and frustration trying to assemble it, she was glad when the day finally came to be rid of the dreadful thing.

She worked hard on this project














It was nice to have around...













Then she found a weapon of mass destruction...

Christmas 2008



I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We were able to visit family in Louisville over the Christmas break and it was wonderful that we got to share this with Jena. The temperatures ranged from -6 to almost 70 degrees in a seven day time span; that was pretty wild for us Floridians.
Jena loved getting to know our families and it was fun to show her some of our familys' Christmas traditions (as well as the normal chaos that goes with Christmas morning and children opening gifts). We spent equal time with both of our families, so it worked out wonderfully. I especially loved all the time spent with our nieces and nephews; they are growing up so quickly.
We went to see "A Christmas Carol" which was wonderful. We had not seen this in a couple of years and it was nice to share what we had grown up with, with Jena.
Jena was hoping to see snow for the first time and got a glimpse of some flurries, but nothing substantial...maybe next time!
I try to post pictures as often as I can so Jena's family and friends in Taiwan can view how she's doing, so I hope you will enjoy the photos.
Happy New Year to everyone and wishing you the best for 2009! No China referral for us this year, but can we cross our fingers for the end of 2010 by Christmas???
