Today was quite a day! I went to school to have lunch with Blase and that was an experience. I have stayed away for three weeks and he was doing very well. They like parents to volunteer and help out so I thought today would be a great time to start volunteering, I was wrong. He saw me and got extremely goofy! All the rules flew out the window! It was a very HUMBLING experience. By the end of the recess he had me wanting to crawl under a rock! His teacher was so gracious and had a talk with him and I. I left feeling better and thankful for a teacher who is loving and understanding. God blessed us with being able to send him to school and I am so thankful. It is doing a world of good for him and I. Today was a good lesson in pride and I am thankful for little reminders and people in my life to bring me back to truth! Love and Hugs to you all! jess

I almost forgot a picture of aunt jane, dave, jon and mom! Missy Sytek was there too.

Happy first birthday Cocoa! We are so thankful you sweet boy. You are a beautiful boy and we are so blessed to be able to celebrate with you. You are very special to us and we hope your birthday party was a blast. A great time was had by all. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Dad and Beth had to leave early because they are still sick! Two weeks of sinus/bronchitis...yuck and we are praying for you both. Aunt Jane was excited because she now has wheels! It is a really nice car. I think it is called a Kia Spectra..very nice. Mom and Jon were there with Eunice, she is a true gift from God. She is precious and we adore her. We are so thankful her, and glad her and mom are such good friends. The party was a blast and I hope you all enjoy the pics. Thank you all for commenting on my blog..I miss you all dearly and can't wait to see you.

New Do

So today I got my hair done....highlights and all. Not very often do I get to do that anymore. I usually use a box. It felt great and Harrison slept the whole time. Jenny Sides came and that was so fun to see her. She has all her hair cut off and it looks great. I can not figure out how to set this thing up so I can put words by the right pictures. HELP! This has been a long week. Harrison has a cold or something goin on and Blase and my allergies are off the charts. The weather has been beautiful though. Blase and I saw a rainbow yesterday morning and he was so excited. He likes to hear the story of Noah and God's promise. Doug, my great love brought me flowers for no reason...I don't deserve them and he is precious.

Thank You Aunt Sylvia

I received a package today from my Aunt Sylvia which was a great surprise! She sent some clothing for Harrison and a special gift for me too. I was tickled to get a package from her. It made my day. Aunt Sylvia, thank you for blessing my family and especially me. Your letter made me cry. I wish we lived closer, but for now we'll communicate through this. I love you Aunt Syl and will keep you and your family in my prayers.

I tried to take a picture of my new business card,but it didn't turn out. For those of you who don't already know I started a photography business...card making too. It is called J.Gap Originals. Great name huh? Hopefully I will get some business. I really enjoy making people happy with cards. Just like my grammy Marion. I will never be as good,or dedicated as she is, but I will try. My slogan is,"Take a moment and capture the memory. " I also have on the back,"using your individuality to customize a photo/card perfect for you. I am really excited about this new venture. Harrison is getting so chubby! I can't believe how much he eats. Blase was never a big eater, and he always stayed thin. Blase had his first full week of school and loved it...THANK YOU GOD! I enjoyed my time with Harrison too. Doug is still busy with the golf course, getting ready to wrap up his 8th season at Interlochen Golf Club...where does the time go? I am so ready for winter and some more time with Doug. I think he is ready too. This is the first year I am actually ready for snow. Well I should go for now it's getting late and I am ready for bed. Love to you all and thanks for reading.
