Neglected

I don't think anyone would argue with me in saying that I have completely neglected my blog for long enough. Looking back at what I have posted, I realize that there are many things that need to be said. So, here is an update of the going on's of the Jenson Family.

• Baby N is in a big boy bed now, after proving that he can masterfully climb out of his crib. I don't think I ever mentioned the fact that he learned to walk, but I guess that is a given by this time. He is starting to say some words, including Daddy, Daddy (which is also his word for mom), I want that one (not quite that clear, but it is obvious that is what he is saying), no, uhuh (instead of yes), peeese (please), and amen.
• H turned 3 in August. She is a master at holding up 3 fingers to display her age. She is an excellent talker, and we can now understand every word she says. She is so fun to listen to. She loves anything pink or purple, and anything remotely relating to a princess. She loves to look pretty, and as soon as she is dressed everyday, she searches for her daddy who then tells her that she is so pretty. 
• E turned 5 in November. I can't believe that I have a 5 year old child. Time has gone by too fast. He started doing Joy School in August, and is loving it. He has made some good friends, and it is so neat to watch as he learns things about the world around him and to hear the questions that he comes up with. He has lately been fascinated about family relationships, figuring out what aunts and uncles are, as well as cousins and grandmas. He has also figured out that he can't marry his sister or his cousins, to which he desparately responded "Then I don't know who I am going to marry!" I had to calm him down and assure him that he will find someone when the time is right.
• Jared has accepted a job offer in the Detroit area with General Motors. We will be moving there in May and are currently looking for a home there. He stays pretty busy with school, and will graduate in May, which we are all so excited for.
• I am enjoying staying at home with the kiddos, and teaching Joy School 1 week out of 6 with E's class. In December I joined my sister, JoDee in Maryland to help her drive a car that her mother-in-law had given them back west. We met in Maryland, and then drove to Palmyra, New York to spend a few days there with our parents. Then we continued on to Indiana where we joined Jared and the kids, and then drove to Colorado, then to Utah where we spent Christmas. It was quite the road trip, and I really enjoyed the alone time with my sister and parents.

Well, that's the abbreviated version of our current lives. I hope to be better at keeping this updated, but we shall see.
