Back to MA

Well I have been absent in writing but for a great reason. Jason Amelia and I flew down to Georgia to visit his family. We were very thankful to be able to stay with his Dad and the family, very much appreciated considering this economic crisis we are in. We also got the chance to celebrate Millie's 1st birthday along with Jason's 31st birthday. I want to thank everyone in GA for their help and generosity on this trip. It meant a lot to Jason to be able to share his birthday and his niece's first birthday with his family. Many more memories to come and start planning that New Year's Eve party girls.... to many pictures to put up on the blog but please check out www.justus3.shutterfly.com both Georgia 2009 albums if you hadn't caught on!

xoxo and until next time.........

Memorable Moment(s)............

My very special Grandmother. My grandmother Helena is approaching 89 this year and is a wonderful admirable women. She has read more books this week than I have or will have in a life time. She has traveled all over the world Japan, Europe,China, Chad, Africa, Italy..... Hawaii all the states and so on. Her favorite trip was Africa. She once told me the trip she took would cost thousands now a days. I love Balsamic Vinegar and she told me there is a city in Italy that you can smell the vinegar that's how strong it is, and the older the better. She is an amazing cook and can cook anything you ask. Her Artichokes and Homemade soups are my favs. She loves Buster to death and always says how much he loves my mother, but I know he loves me more :) Up until a winter or two she was still driving herself. Oh and she absolutely adores Amelia. Loves her and always says how beautiful she is. Christmas's are always special with her and she gives the greatest gifts. Needs instead of wants. Sometimes two left slippers but hey its the thought. Last year she wasn't feeling well so Xmas 2007 just wasn't the same. But she made it this year and here is a pic from then and also Jill Nana and I from Jillian's Baby shower.

Of course Buster

Amelia riding her new bike....

After Church this past Sunday the weather was nice enough (no snow or rain) for Jason to take Amelia on a little bike ride. They walked from our house and went down by Amelia's school and the Gloucester High School. She loved it. There is also a little playground they stopped at. We are going to get her a helmet when the weather is nicer and she will be on it more.

Curriculum Night

Last night Amelia's school had Curriculum night. They shared with all the parents what the classroom is currently working on. Amelia's class is working on heath and nutrition. Everything Amelia eats now she always asks if its healthy. Its cute, and now a days super helpful. Great way to get her to try new veggies.. tell her they are healthy. She eats like her dad anyway will eat almost anything. The kids made fruit salad, but below I believe Jason and Amelia are eating ice cream. She was aware this isn't very healthy but we are trying to teach her moderation :) How could a child not eat ice cream. The little girl in the stripes with Amelia is her friend Journey we made a play date and can hopefully get them together outside of school, we also found out they live on street over.

The End of Amelia's Vacation...

So Amelia's vacation is officially over. She went back to school this morning and me back to childcare at 630 am. Big change... after a week of fun and games :) I hope you enjoy our new pictures, Amelia picked out this Betta Fish aka Japanese Fighting Fish. Its black with some red on his tail (he is hard to see but is over by the plant). Notice the purple crown "he" has. Amelia and I picked that out. She first picked the name Peter and told Kristin I think the name was Peter and told Papa his name was Abby so? Right now he is Peter Abby I guess. What prompted our purchase of a fish was our trip to the Aquarium Saturday, there are a few pictures below but Amelia wasn't in a picture taking mood. It also was dark and super crowed so again they aren't the best pictures. Also there are pictures of her last day of vacation (Friday) and we did some girlie things we started off by making her a tent, then curling her hair, and lastly she painted her own nails. When Jason got out of work we surprised her with dinner at Friendly's.
