Hello all - About Grace - Grace has been feeling SO MUCH better since the homeopathy. I am so glad we did it!!! I wish I had done it a long time ago. She had been having stomache aches EVERY morning for over a year. She even had an upper endoscopy - and fortunately - her esophogus, stomache and upper intestines were perfect! Not even reflex! However - STILL stomach aches daily. Abdominal migranes was the prognosis - so a year later - we went to Maine Homeopathy in Kennebunk! After her first remedy - NO PROBLEMS. Now we have issues with making up her homework! If its not one thing- it is another. Ben, Ken, Grace and I have been SO busy with work, drama HS, band, color guard, parades, drama Jr High, pie selling, candle selling, magazine selling, outdoor soccer, indoor soccer, FORGET all the work selling I am doing today. ~ but Saturday I'm volunteering from 8.30-3.00 at our church fair and Ben has a soccer game at 10.00pm (yes PM), and Sunday my brother and I are doing our monthly evening church service. I am so tired. I haven't been sleeping well - I don't know how people do it- not sleeping! I'm glad Benny has been easier this year - except in Math - his math teacher thinks he has a behavior problem because he talks too much. I wonder where he gets that???? He has his school play next month - Grace's school play was early November.... busy busy busy! I'm also trying to catch up on MY doctor appointments that i put off like my mammo (skipped two years - going tomorrow at 8.00am (WAS FINE) - . Also scheduling my annual which I've missed last year - (had that too - they wouldn't wait since it had been over 2 1/2 years) For work - I FINALLY finished a brochure, a binder (which I had to mail in the most ghetto looking box cause I couldn't find one that fit it!!) I hope everyone is doing well for this holiday. I've only got Grace mostly done - and this is because she only wants one thing - a laptop! I have Ben's list and will hit that hard this weekend! I'll be on-line shopping again this year! For Ken - I've gotten a few small items but I know what his big gift will be - Civilization 5 - he loves that video game! (so do the kids!) If I get everything ordered online this weekend- I'll have only the really small easy fun stuff! I did get the christmas lights out last night - but still need to decorate the house! Soon soon soon! I love christmas - wish we had an artificial tree - ONLY so that I could put it up now and have it still look good next month! Merry Christmas!

Well, its been a long time since I have written - and I have missed it. So much happened it 2009 - that I can barely remember. Grace had her 13th birthday! Ben turned 12 - both remain soccer players (Grace's coach put her in an office role and she played quite a bit more than last year.) Ben still loves soccer. BOTH were in the 7th and 8th grade play - Velveteen Rabbit - Grace had the title role and did a great job. Ben and Zach were in it too- as a boy and 'THE BOY' respectively. We all enjoyed the pool again last summer - so glad we got the bigger one - and just hoping it lasts throughout the entire summer this year! And the firepit - still a huge success! There really is nothing as beautiful and sitting around the fire with freinds while the kids play flashlight tag or 'man hunt' and swim with the happy kids swimming noise - and the zillions of stars twinkle above.... I have such a rich life - I am so blessed. All in all - 2009 was great! Thanks to my family and friends for making it wonderful! PEACE. JESS
