Prom Night

Jenn and her friends rode a Limo to the West Genesee Prom. Renee, our in house hair stylist, did the hair and make up. The weather was beautiful and it should be a fun night. The full set of pictures are already up on Flickr.

Jenn Hits the Road

As Jennifer's birthday approached, she made it clear that she was going to get her learner's permit as soon as she could. Well she kept her word. The day she turned 16, she went to DMV, took and passed her test and walked away with her Learner's Permit. She sent me a text to let me know and asked if I could take her out on the road when I got home from work.

On her birthday, Jenn sat behind the wheel of our van and began the process of learning how to drive. It was a little tougher than she thought it would be (ask her about the boulders in the driveway) but she did pretty good. She's got several hours under her belt and she's learning quickly. At this pace, she'll have her license in no time.

I just uploaded a bunch of pictures of Jennifer from back in the late 90's. These are pictures of her from when we lived in Buffalo. The pictures are on Flickr.

Renee's Slippy Car Accident

It was snowing today and the roads were slick. On the way home from work Renee did some slipping and sliding. The car has some front end damage, but she is fine. I was going to tell you the details about Renee's accident but she does such a great job telling it herself. Enjoy!

Real Baby II

I walked in the door last night and I was greeted by Jenn. Jenn promptly asked me if I wanted to hold her baby. Jenn's baby was birthed by Realityworks inc. and this computerized infant simulator tracks how well Jenn cares for it. It needs to be fed, changed, burped and rocked. If you fail to figure out what the baby needs it has a wail that can be heard from any location in the house.
One of the objectives of this lesson is to demonstrate the impact babies have on a person’s lifestyle, extended family and future. This is a lesson that engages students in a way that is genuine and applicable to real life. The baby will be a part of Jenn's life until Monday.
Though the Real Baby II is the most advanced simulator on the market, there are a few changes I'd make. In order to truly enjoy the joys of motherhood the baby should be designed to projectile vomit. The current model comes with an obvious sound when the baby is pooping. I'd add in the ability to have an actual diaper overflow and a realistic accompanying odor.
Jenn is actively engaged in the experience and I'm sure she'll get some extra attention from our friends at church tomorrow (just like a real Mom would). This should be an interesting weekend.
