I'm sorry it's taken me soo long to write - I've been sooo busy. Hey- let me ask you a question: How far away is Cedar Rapids from Decorah? 'Cause I just got back from Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. I was there for Dorian ( a big music festival) Thanks for telling me about Joe moving. No - he hasn't written me for ages and I'm not expecting any letters soon, either.

You wouldn't by any chance have any other pictures of you I can have? Possibly one with you smiling would be nice! :) Where do you want to go to college after your mission? I'm going to Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota (by Fargo, ND).

Guess what! I' made the semi-finals for their music scholarship!! I had to share that with you because I'm really excited! :)

Tell me why you don't like BYU? ('cause ndither do I, and my friends rag on me a lot because of it.) I think after your mission you should come to Minnesota and we can sit and watch Old movies together. :) I can't believe you & I have soo much in common - that is soo cool !! :)
Tell me about your family, and the future family you want. I'll tell you a little bit about mine - Right now at home it's just me & mom. Mom & daddy divorced when I was ten. I have two older sisters. Kim who is 29 is married to Bob and they have three kids - Kristen - 7, Wesley - 5, and Kaitlin - 1.
My other sister Kathy who is 25 is married to Doug and they have two kids - Miles - 3 and my baby Patrick who is 9 months. ( and the cutest thing in the whole world !!:) )
My daddy got remarried to Gloria about 5 years ago - so she kind-of replaced me. Sorry - I won't get into that. The family I want ... a husband and, 5 kids - 3 boys & 2 girls. They re all going to be very close in age though. I want a big family - probably because mine is so little. I want to take big family trips and outings. I'm really looking forward to the future.
Again - I'm sorry it's taken me so long to write you back. I hope you had a great Christmas & a wonderful New Year!

Love,
Jen

What does the "S." stand for in Gregory S. Woolf?

Keep your corners up!! :)

Gerald Shepardson has passed away.

Jennifer is a bit preoccupied with assisting her sister with the formalities of the passing of a loved one, so I hope I don't do any disservice to his memory by writing this blog post. Gerald, Gerry, or Papa Bear as Jennifer lovingly called him, is Jennifer's father. I believe he passed away on June 24th, 2008. He was 80. Grandpa Shepardson was a very talented man, a concert-level pianist and very intelligent. He did a wonderful job of preparing Jennifer to marry me, because he loved music, photography, thrift shopping, "STUFF", dry humor, bad puns, reading, sharing the knowledge of his passions, and sarcasm. I love him and was sad to hear of his passing. I'm not sure if I expressed to Jennifer my admiration for her father, but I certainly hope she knows that I have always felt him to be a kindred spirit from the day I met him face to face. We love you Papa Bear! You will be missed.

OK I know 4 months isn't really very old...but I am sad that she is growing up at all! I am having so much fun with her! She is happy ALL the time. There is nothing better than being woken up to her talking in her bed in the morning. She doesn't roll much yet - mostly when she is mad. But it's coming. She is VERY strong and it probably won't be long before she is sitting on her own. YEAH!! Isn't she just dang cute!! (I realize I am a bit biased....I say this often don't it) LOL

Her first solid food.....well kind of solid

BEFORE THE FEAST: AFTER THE FEAST: Jilly had her 4 month doctor's appointment today. She weighs in at 13 lbs. 4 oz. (45% of average 4 month olds) and is 25 inches long (80% of average four month olds). She is tall and thin.....not a bad way to be. :-) So after her check up (and the shots - poor thing) the doctor said she was definitely ready for cereal. So we came home and gave it a try. She wrinkled her nose a lot and everything came out at least once before she figured out that she should swallow it. But she was (is) dang cute doing it!! So, now we have a new fixture in the dining room....the high chair. YEAH!!
