Christmas Update

Christmas has come and gone...again! Grant was alot of fun this year really begining to understand what happens durning the Christmas season. While it was fun telling him all about Santa Claus and finding out what toys he wanted this year...it was also fun begining our own tradition of celebrating the birth of Baby Jesus by purchasing a birthday cake for Jesus. We enjoyed the birthday cake after dinner on Christmas eve and again Christmas day...


I spent several days at my parents after Christmas while Mark was working/hunting...During my visit I got to see several friends from High School that I have not seen in a while and experience my first taste of Food Poisioning....from the mexican place in Greenville. My stomach is still a little queezy so don't ask me to eat mexican for a long long time. I am glad to be home.....and Grant is enjoying all his Christmas toys...








Happy New Year!!!

Part-time job opening...Great Pay!!

I know that most of you reading this are Mom's and may even stay at home with your kids... The March of Dimes has a part-time position open right now!!! We need to fill this position immediatly...

From January to May is our March for Babies fundraising season...The open position will only be during this time...for 15-20 hours a week. We are looking for a Family Teams Specialist. This job would require you to work with our existing families that raise money for March for Babies as well as recruite and train new family teams to fundraise and/or raise money online. The job would be really easy seeing as though we have so many freinds that have healthy babies and some that were born a little early and some that may have not survived.

The pay is excellent...and I am sure we all could use some extra money

March of Dimes is the Champion for all Moms and Babies!!!
The Tri-County March for Babies will be held May 2 on Highland Colony.

Congrats to Amy and Cory!!

My cousin Amy had her baby girl Marley Payton this Tuesday.... Now Grant has to share is Great Grandma... He is not the only one anymore!!! Welcome Marley...and Congrats Amy and Cory!


We are still a little unsure of Santa Clause...While in Dillards today the Clinique counter had Santa dressed in Orange to promote thier fragrance Happy... I thought we would use the free picture from santa rather than the one in center court that costs 19.99 since Grant screaming the whole time. Maybe we will try again next year:)
