Spring break update!
By Jenny | April 2, 2007
This week is our week for Spring Break from schooling. It is my (Jennifer) hope to get lots of cleaning done, lots of dog training done, and get Cori and Nate up to speed (NO pun intended) on their driver’s training. We did not get to it until now for various reasons, but I really would like at least one of them to get her (!) license. Cori has already told me, “I know you are going to make me drive Ben and the others everywhere when I get it!” Yup, I probably will.
Jode is still working at UNL, and we are waiting for them to hire him permanently. The university hires temporarily and then permanently after so long, so we hope to hear soon. I think we will hear by the end of May.
Cori is starting at UNL in the fall-very exciting! She already has a job to start full time for the summer, in May, which is awesome.
Nate is doing the teen thing of working, hanging out with friends, and spending money. He hopes to head back to NY this summer to work at camp again, and we hope he can too. He is good at it, and enjoys the work.
Anna is hoping to work this summer, and is disappointed not to be able to de-tassle. She suffered from some heat exhaustion last summer, and now is sensitive to heat. But, we hope she can find something around town this summer.
Cassie is hoping to do nothing this summer. LOL But, swim lessons are in store for her, like it or not!
Ben is growing, and looking forward to baseball this spring. They are pretty serious about baseball here, and he is really excited to be signed up for it.
William is growing also, and just always wants to participate in anything anyone else is doing. He will start schooling in the fall-I can hardly believe it! He is awesome at recognizing letters and the like, which is a great sign of things to come.
And me? Plugging away at house, home, school, working one day a week, and the usual shlock. It is very exciting for me to see Cori graduate-a big deal for a home school mom. Jode and I are doing very well, and that is especially nice. Although, I confess we are both bored with how everything here looks the same-field after field, and compared to NJ and NY, nearly nothing to do. We will have to look harder for new things to see here.
The Lord is faithful, and full of mercy-His love endures forever. His grace is amazing, and we are thankful to see His blessings in our lives!

Meet the newest family member….
By Jenny | March 5, 2007
Fezzik the Puppy!
Now we can join the millions of families that can shout, “Whose turn is it to take out the dog?” or “Who let the dog get in the trash?”
But, seriously, Jode and I both hope that this puppy will allow us the opportunity for further healing in the family. Not to sound as if we would foolishly put our hopes in this dog behaving well at first, but I mean that we both want us to all work as a team to train the dog. The children have responded well, and we are enjoying the time it takes to get to know Fezzik.
And, the cats have done well so far…..!
