The Jensen Family

Probably he got caught in a steel trap like this one over here," their dad said, pointing to an exhibit in the next case.
"But how could he get free from that?" Julie asked.

The Jensen’s Journey

#34- GIGO - "My point is this: The old saying GIGO is true of more than just computers."
"O.K., I'll bite," Julie said with a smile. "What's GIGO?"

#33- Teaching Trees! - What would you think of getting a live tree this year and then planting it after Christmas?"
The twins both nodded their approval. "Sounds O.K. to me," Julie said. "What kind of a tree were you thinking of?"
"Well, how about getting a maple tree?"
"A maple tree?" Julie protested. "For Christmas?"

#32- Pipes and Priorities - Oh, these glasses! They always get smeary. I guess I'd better wash them off again." Julie stepped to the sick and flipped the faucet causing a blast of cold water to splash down.
Suddenly, a "Yow!" came from upstairs. Julie quickly turned off the faucet and looked sheepishly at her mother. "I forgot Daddy was in the shower. I hope he didn't get burned."
"Me too," her mother agreed.

#31- Showers Of Blessings? - "You don't look very happy today. Something wrong?" he asked.
"Of all the luck," she protested. "Our first holiday from school and it has to go and rain." She continued to stare toward the window.
Mr. Jensen put down his paper and smiled at his daughter. "Looks to me like you forgot what holiday it is."
Julie looked a little ashamed. "Yeah, I know it's Thanksgiving, but I was planning to go on a long bike ride today with Susan. Now we can't go anywhere."

#36- Time to Grow - Suddenly Mrs. Jensen was interrupted by a thud and a loud scream from the living room. She dropped the potato and grabbed a towel to wipe her hands as she ran in to see what happened.

#30- Proper Nourishment - Then Julie said to her mom, "We'll need to get some baby food for when he gets hungry, won't we?"
"We won't need that for a while," her mom grinned. "God has made it possible for a mother's body to produce the perfect food for a baby in his first months of growth."

#29- Whose necks? - "Hi, Mom. We've been missing you but Dad fixed a pretty good supper last night, uh, even though it wasn't as good as your cooking."
"I'll second that," Mr. Jensen agreed.
"Where's Joshua, Mom? Can we see him?" Julie asked.
"Look right behind you."

#28- Final Pay - "Have you decided on a name yet?"
"Yup. Guess what we chose."
"Well, it has to start with a 'J' so how about Jamie?" Jason suggested.
"I like Jeffery," Julie added.
"Those are good names but we decided on a Bible name like yours.

#27- Second Best? - "What's up, Dad?" Jason asked, "And where's Mom?"
"Both of you sit down and listen carefully. It looks like this is going to be the day we have been waiting for and I need to give you some instructions."

#26- Growing Pains - "So," Mr. Jensen mused, "it appears we have a baby who is not taking nourishment properly. What is the mother going to do about it?"
Julie grinned slightly, and then sighed. "I don't know. I wish she didn't live so far away. Any suggestions?"
