Life is good!

I've been waiting to blog, hoping I'd get it together and take some pics.Those who know me, may know that is not my strong point! However, life is good, and a small gratitude list is always appropriate:
* Steve & I enjoy good health and the love of our children
* We love,adore,and respect our children-they are amazing people
* Our children love each other...
* We live in a neighborhood of great people
* Steve has a job-that's satisfying- and it enables us to spend more time together
* We have "2" grandbabies on the way :)
* We appreciate the opportunites given us to serve our church family
* And...All my children are coming home for Christmas!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

A long story...

I lost my cell phone...
then it was miraculously found...
However, I didn't save my contacts to the sim card...and now I have to replace my damaged phone.

Good news--I have the same phone number
Bad new--I lost business contact numbers
BUMMER!

SO...if you'd email me your phone numbers that would be great. onlyjeri@aim.com

Family updates

Two of my sweet girls--Erinn & Ella
Enjoying the sun on the Santa Monica pier

Jeri's graduation from UCMT-I appreciate all the family support during these demanding 7 mos. Especially for Steve-my greatest supporter of all!

Mexican Cruise 2008

Steve & I spent the last week enjoying the Mexician Rivera. It was a combination celebration of our 31st wedding annivesay/graduation for massage therapy school--most important a much needed vacation! We have a great life...

Highlights of the week

Ok, so the Grandma gave in and let Gracey play with the mascara! She's washable--and looking a little worried. Erinn and I just laughed!


Being a Grandma is just as wonderful as I thought it would be. I will always treasure these last few days with Gracey...just a few of my favorite moments.


* Gracey letting me snuggle with her before bedtime (I get teary-eyed just thinking of it!)


* "Up-ee" (Means pick me up or lift me up, so I can get what I want)


* Gracey takes my finger to point to the pictures in her books


*Asking Gracey if her Grandma loves her--and watching her get big-eyed and shaking her head yes...ah, so sweet

A wonderful few days for Grandma!

This is a 'classic Gracey'-she LOVES reading. She'll spend hours a day looking at her books.

This is our 'darling' Gracey...of course, we think everything she does is adorable...evening eating veggies!

Our first post..."welcome to the 90's Mr. Banks!"
The weekend has been filled with family and enjoying general conference. Erinn and Andrew came in last week, and will be leaving this evening. We'd be incredibly sad, but we'll see her again this month. Our true joys revolve around the times we are able to be together as a family.
