Here are the pictures that should have been on the previous blog. I now have the free downloaded "Picasa2" which does great things with picture- so I am learning about this new program and have the posts mixed up a bit, oh well- enjoy the pictures!

They are silly together already!
It was my idea to put Jenna into one of the emptied toy bins. Madeline promptly ran to the other one and dumped it upside down on the floor- toys scattered everywhere. She then placed it beside her sister and sat inside. The two girls sat there for quite some time giggling and playing with toys. Madeline had shared some with her little sister. Another time, Madeline was using Jenna's baby bath as a "pirate ship"but Jenna HAD to come in too! Jenna just loves the attention from her big sister.
As you can see by the pictures, they had a very fun time!

flowers for the girls
Stew came home from work last week with 2 bundles of tulips in his hands. One for Mommie and one for Maddie. Madeline was SO very excited that she had one of her own. She pranced around the house with the bundle of flowers in her arm as if she was the winner of the Miss America Contest laughing with a bit of a cackle. She is such a funny girl. She became quickly distraught when Daddie informed her that "her" flowers had to go into water. After she realized that this was a good thing, she watched Daddie cut and arrange the little yellow beauties. A couple of days later, with the curiousity of a 2 year old cat, she toppled the arrangement over onto the ground- water and petals everywhere ( but nothing was broken). She thought that it was good that she could touch the flowers... Funny Madeline!

It is going to be a good year...
getting better- this is a pretty good shot
My fingerthumb suckers
Madeline- the burger queen. We got her this hat on the way home from Christmas
Matching Christmas Gran jumpersHappy New Year Everyone!!
2007 Brings so much uncertainty for the Charlebois family. Stew is planning on going to UVIC in June for school and so that adds a lot of confusion to our lives ( Stew is in school, so I have to go back to work- but who is going to care for the kids etc...) Anyway, we just have to TRUST that it will all work out...it is just hard work waiting!
Jenna is almost 6 months old now and doing things that a 6 month old does. She is now sitting on her own (with a pillow behind her just in case), she is rolling from her back to her front- but not from her front to her back (this is a task that is supposedly mastered between 3-4 months old but she just doesn't want to). She is also eating rice cereal once a day. She thoroughly enjoys this and cries when she is done wanting more. Madeline 's vocabulary is expanding rapidly. After spending 5 days with Emily, we have noticed that she is forming sentences better (just like Emi) She is using 4 and 5 word sentences- but her favorite word still is ........NO. (or nuh! as she says it). She definately has a strong spirit ( must have got that from Stew.......cough cough..... because I was so gentle hearted growing up- In reality so was Stew) so we are still baffled as to where this is coming from...!!!!*(sarcasm*) I just keep telling myself- "she is a precious gift- a jewel given into our trust from God" Oh, did I mention she doesn't want to nap anymore? Yah, it has been tough the last week. I think she is just changing a bit and wanting a "true" afternoon nap. Instead of going to bed at noon, it is now close to 2 or 2:30. I think that we are working it out now (there were a few very trying days in which she did not nap at all! need I say more)
She is a beautiful child though, truly beautiful! Stew and I talk often of how we are abundantly blessed with such wonderful, beautiful children.

Meek and Mild
Jenna under the tree in her new dress from Uncle Steve and Allison
One day I will get a good picture of the two of them together...
Driving at Chuck E. Cheese
Uncle Steve was having fun!
Jenna is in there... somewhere...Well, maybe not meek- but is sure was mild in Langley for Christmas! Our time there was so wonderful- Stew was able to have 5 days off in a row which was necessary for his mental sanity; Madeline was able to play with Emily for countless hours; I was able to pass J-bird off to Grandma, Grandpa or Uncle Steve when I was done feeding her (that was nice- now don't get me wrong- I love my baby girl but it was nice to have some freedom for a change!) It feels so wonderful to be with my whole family. Steve's girlfriend, Allison spent a lot of time with us too- which was really nice ( still getting to know her). Lots of laughs, lots of presents ( THANK YOU EVERYONE for the awesome gifts!!!!!) Madeline has thoroughly enjoyed each one of your gifts- and enjoying Jenna's too!*
We had some activities planned out- on Christmas eve day, the girls went swimming in the community pool, Christmas day was spent ripping open presents and then playing and playing ( and almost loosing Jenna in the wrapping carnage...) Then Boxing day we went to Chuck E. Cheese's. Everything was going well until Emily fell and broke her little arm (She is okay though!- she's small- but she's tough!) The whole time ( minus the ER experience) was fantastic. It is nice to have a family that gets along so well. We have friends who have such disfunctional famlies. I never want to take mine for granted!
