The Weekend

Hey-
This weekend was great. We have been going, going, going. Maya had a friend stay over this weekend. Well actually it is van's friend too. So they both had a fun sleepover. We rented The Little Mermaid II and blew up the air mattress in the living room and sacked out with popcorn and the movie. I sure will miss these moments with the kids, but I know there are many more wonderful family moments to come. We went to church this morning and heard some of the most beautiful music ever. A talented singer song writer came and sang for us. As you all know music is the best medicine for me and I am sure for Maya as well. Maya is our little singer and hummer. She is always singing these days; even if she does not know the words she makes up her own. Van is still our little dancer and can't resist a good beat. Shake your booty is his favorite thing to sing and dance as soon as he gets out of the shower. Brendan's interview went well and we have our fingers crossed. Brendan and I went to a dinner theater the other night at the high school and it was the perfect evening. Tomorrow is presentation day for me. I am nervous as all get out since my presentation affects two other peoples grades too. Yes, it is a group project. We have a great power point presentation ready to go. But, hey what is life with out a little nervousness. This evening we went to our church for a young adults with children group. SOOOOOO Much Fun!!! Great food and made new friends, while others strummed their guitars and sang in the back round. Felt more like a dream than a get together. The kids had so much fun playing with their little friends and we hung out with the other parents. WOW, sure is nice to make friends with more families. We are truly blessed this year and we are not taking any of it for granted. Brendan and I are constantly saying to each other how good life is now.
We love you all, hope you are doing well,
Jenn, Brendan, Maya and Little Van

Hi guys,
Maya and I have been sitting here for an hour or so putting together
a slide show for the blog. We hope you enjoy the show. Yes, they are both out of
order, Maya did a
great job putting it all together. She is doing well today and will return to
school tomorrow. It has been a nice family day for us all. We had curry
with flat bread for dinner. THE KIDS LOVED IT!!! Brendan and I are so proud of them.
These past few weeks have been stressful in nursing school (
TEST,TEST,TEST) but the kids make it easier to deal with. When we pick the kids
up from school we try to go somewhere fun. Brendan and I wish we could
hold onto this week forever; we have had so much fun with the kids. I
am doing very well. Brendan set up the perfect office for me in our Attic. Well we need to
get the small fries in bed now. Love to you all.
LOVE,
Jenn and Maya

Maya's ouch

Well, we had an eventful evening last
night. Maya was doing gymnastics in the living room and fell on the glass
top of a dresser in our living room. She is just fine. They glued humpty back
together again.

This is the dresser after impact!!

Another day

Another day,
All is well today. I had a long day at school. Lookin forward to having time off for the holidays. I do have three tests right after Thanksgiving. They think they are doing us a favor by giving tests the day you come back from Holiday. Oh well, still loving it.
Brendan may soon be a high school biology teacher. The principal of the school called today and wants to set up an interview. He really wants this job so we will keep our fingers crossed. He will be teaching Biology.
Well, I am a walking zombie. I better get some ZZZZZ. Neil I love you and hope all is well.
Love yal

After Halloween

Halloween
was perfect!
The kids both had Halloween parades at their school. Grammy, Grandbob and Uncle Jerry
were all hear for the holiday. We went trick or treating with all the kids and
parents in our neighborhood. Sure is great watching this neighborhood fill
up with kids. WOW!! I wish I could have made that day last longer. We had
so much fun with the kiddos. I dressed up for clinical that day as
well. So much fun.
Now i am back to the grind. I have not had two seconds to spare
since Halloween.
I apologise to everyone for not keeping in touch. We are getting bombarded with end of
semester projects and tests. Everything is comprehensive which makes it quite
stressful. I am still loving it. Sleep is a luxury lately.
Love to you

all,
Jenn
