Hello everyone,
Will I hope you all have fun and peaceful plans for the new year. I am very happy to say good by to 2009. There were bad things this year like 6 losses and good news this year like 8 new babies.
There were days when we felt on top of the world and joy surrounded us. There were days when we were to sick to get out of bed. There were the sun shined and days when it rained. I guess you can just say 2009 was full of life and everything that goes with life good and bad.
Gary has improved very much in school and getting better with his Autism. Nick is still working very hard to pay for all the medical bills his loved ones keep billing up. I am doing great with my art work and so so with my Post Tramatic Stress Disorder ( PTSD) but good news I know where my health problems have been. Now I have great people who are helping me get well.
We are still 1 enemies with the health insurancy companies. Our sanity is barly intake, but hopefully God will take over the Government and get them to help us. Hummm I think this could make a good Scroge movie.
All in all we have those we love most still here with us and happy to welcome the new family members and happy to see a new year coming to a home soon.
Love
Jennifer, Nick and Gary

all Parties a success and enjoying a peaceful Boxing Day
On the 19th we had our Family party. Gary got Mario Cart Wii game and was so excited. We all had a really good time, food, family and love or was that just the Egg nog. Ha Ha. No I had a great time with our traditional Family celerbration. Everyone got lovly gifts. And the food was great. We went home and Gary was able to open up the Wii console. Been glued to it ever since.
Christmas Eve was nice. We opened up gifts early so Gary could play some more. Then Christmas Morning Gary was up and opening his gifts befor we could get a camera on. Gary got everything he wanted and more. It was a sheer joy watching him and how happy and excited he was. Then he had about 4 hours of time at home to play befor we went to my mom's for lunch. It worked out perfect this year. Had lots of fun at mom and dad's too. Uncle Tom gave Gary Sonic the secert rings Wii game and once we got home Gary played with the game until he was too tired to keep his eyes open.
We are having a nice peaceful boxing day. Nick has been out a couple of times to do errands. I am being lazy staying inside and doing laundry. I got a new purse for Christmas so need to rearrange things soon. My big Christmas wishes came true. My friend whose husband is battling Brain tummors had a good Christmas, my friend on chemo had a great Christmas and my other friend fitting cancer had a great Christmas. So that made for a Merry Christmas for me too. Also having my Unlce Tom recovering well from Heart surgery makes an extra bonus.
My art work is coming along really well. I have a place called Enchanted Grounds that is willing to hang up some of my space paintings for sale. That is cool. They are a coffee shop/ board game store. So might have some luck.
Nick is doing well. Working hard as ever but having fun with his me and Gary.
Hope all of you had a great Christmas too.
Love

Gary's Christmas Party
Today was Gary's school Christmas Party. ( of course they call it a winter party- whatever).
There were crafts, games, snacks, decorating cookies and music. It was a lot of fun. I supplied the music and helped with some of the craft tables. There was no Paraprofessional so I kept an eye on Gary. Although he really did great didn't need me much at all. I made sure he had his snack right away that helped alot. He made a place mat out of foam and foam stickers, made a snowflake out of a napkin and decorated ginger bread cookies. I had perky party music so there would not be any complaints about support one holiday over another. I had fun dancing in between stations and the other moms had fun dancing a little to. Gary was lost only once and I had him dance with me while we waited our turn for the next activity. That was fun for both of us. So I think it is safe to say he had a good day.
Just waiting for him and Nick to get home. Miss Nicki will be here to work with Gary so fun busy day.
Love

Christmas Count down
Gary had a great day today at school. He brought home presents for mommy and daddy that he had been working on this week. I think Nick put them in the basement. And today Gary told me he loves horse time. Mr. I quit horse forever. I knew he really enjoyed it. He has a friend that rides with him now. That makes it much more fun. The location is also so close to a private airport that they get to watch planes fly over head. I think he is having fun watching the Canadian Geese too.
We are all better now. Just a little cough. The air is extremly dry. I am thristy all the time. We have a humidifier for Gary's room. We are suppose to have a whole house humidifier, but don't know why it is not working right. Will have to call to get it fixed.
Today was our ( Nick an Me) Grandmas Birthday. She is so special to me. I love her so much. It is just so awsome to have a Grandma again. I didn't have any grandparents for a very long time. So I always joke that I married Nick just so I could have a grandma again. I had so much fun talking to her on the phone. She is the Best Grandma Ever. I am kinda bumbed out that I missed fling out to see her this year, but hope next year gives us the oppertunity to fly out and see her. At least I have the phone and email. LOVE YOU GRANDMA. There truly is no words to describe how special she is to me.
Nick is doing great working hard like always and having fun with the Christmas preperations.
I am counting my blessings and trying not to focuse on the negatives of this year.
Well going to get ready for bed soon. Hope all have a great week.
Love
Jennifer

Almost Better
It is Monday evening and Jennifer is giving Gary his bath. We are all getting over a cold. I was home sick last week, Gary was sick last week and Jennifer also was sick. All three of us went to the doctor and Jennifer and I are on antibiotics. It was just a stupid cold (no fever). Hopefully the last of our winter colds.
On Saturday Gary saw Santa Claus. We didn't get any pictures but he did sit on Santa's lap and talked to him. On Tuesday we are going to see Santa again at Big Bill's New York Pizza. We'll get lots of pictures then.
