compass

Jenifer seemed to get around quite a bit in 2009. She got as far east as Florida and as far west as the island of Hawaii. She got as far north as Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming and as far south as Ka Lae, also on the Island of Hawaii. In between those points on the compass, Jenifer enjoyed some great times in New Mexico with her great friend Kathryn Schindler at her family's ranch which is nearby to Philmont Scout Ranch where Jenifer provided transportation to and from the ranch for Harrison and Will. She also had some great fun at the beach in Carlsbad and La Jolla in Southern California when we visited Scott's sister Sara Morley and family in April. Interspersed with various musical activities, Jenifer found time to make a massive quilt for a wedding gift and can massive amounts of fruits and pickles among other things. She got in well over 20 ski days with her ski buddies and the family. And oh yeah, she took on the major portion of Ari's home schooling. She has thankfully delegated some responsibility for "writing" work to Scott.
