pics from the party. see post below....

summers almost over.......

I like to think we are like everyone esle and going into fall weather, but Florida is on hold. We are still in Hurricane season, so our fall actually starts After Nov. 1st. Thats officially the last day of Hurricane season. So, here we are in 100 degree weather yet. ouch. lol. The kids are back in school, which means Jimmy's teachers start coming back out. He adores them. :0) Mike is working fulltime and Amy starts college classes today, actually! Wow, huh? Where does the time go??? Amazing. Some other news...Over the summer we had a scare when my sisters boy Ravi was diagnosed with a brain tumor, in the same spot as Jimmy and Lori's was. He had it removed and is doing well. it was a rare benign tumor and they got it all. He will join the elete group of members of the club where you must be scanned once a year.........a club no-one really wants to join. But, we stay optimistic and pray for our kids daily....Then Hubby's nephew Tom died in an accident. He worked in construction and was killed when a beam hit him in the head..he was actually raced to the hosp. where they had him in a drug induced coma for 3 weeks and then he passed away suddenly. It was very sad. Jim and Mike flew to Michigan for the funeral. (For those who know our family...know this was Jim's sister Teri's boy). He left behind a wife and 3 kids. His funeral was amazing because he also happened to be a volunteer fireman and I dont have to tell you what their ceremonies look like. Simply moving. So, in a nutshell that was our summer. To End on a happier note. We had my sisters twins b-day party here yesterday. It was fun. Jimmy enjoyed everyone being here and was giving hugs and wanting everyone to kiss him. He'll get up close to your face with his and just wait there for you to kiss his cheek. too cute. Well, so long for now. Talk on ya all soon. Love, Lin N Crew~*

Jimmy having fun

Good Health Thank God~~**

Hi Everyone!!! Its been a little while since I posted. Jimmy's health has been on an all time HIGH! Im praying he stays well for a long time. His new med. he is on, its a mood stabilizer, has been working wonders. That and having his cavities fixed is really making him a happy camper. We'll be heading into summer soon............Last year was aweful with that stubborn ear infection that he winded up needing to have IV antibiotics for and also surgery, so we are hoping for a Healthy Jimmy this summer. Maybe we will get to enjoy some fun activities. Here's a few pics to keep you all entertained. And as always thank you soooooo much for checking in on us. Love, Lin N Crew~*

Hello everyone!! Happy Easter season. May God's gifts surround you. :0) We are settling into a semi-slower pace. Soon summer will be here and for us Floridians it means Hurricane season, which we ALL dred but prayer helps a great deal. So, we are praying for a season of NO HURRICANES! Last year was pretty good to us, so hopefully we will have a repeat of that. Otherwise things are moving along. Amy graduates this year so, we will be prom dress shopping. Yippeee Fun Fun!! lol. I am so happy she will be out of school finally! Then off to a local college and onto new endeavor's. Mike is doing well. He is in Automotive school and also working. (I love that all my cherubs are still living home.) Jimmy is staying well. He hated the rain we had last week. The house gets damp and I think the harware he has in his back hurts when its damp. A trip to Mickey D's usually cheers him up, so I think we'll do that today. Well, not much else happening so I will sign off for now. Much love to all and thanks for always visiting Jimmy's page. Talk soon. Lin N Crew~*

Hi A Family Birthday party!!

Hi Everyone. We (Mike, Amy and dad) got out to a family birthday party. It was for my great neice who turned 6. Jimmy stayed back with the respite Worker, Eva...who he just adores! He wasnt feeling to well, just seemed very tired yesterday and we decided it was better to have him here at home with Eva and his beloved Barney tapes. I (me...mom) dressed as a bunny and had all the kids searching for Eggs and candy all afternoon. There were about 6 young ones under the age of 7 there, so I thought it would be fun to dress up and fun it was. So, enjoy these pictures. lol. We sure know how to throw a party, huh?

The Greek Festival

I will try to download some different pics. (These are the same ones on Jimmy's web site, sorry. :0) I do have more from the festival, just need to get movin' on them.) Love ya, Lin~*

Greek Festival pics. :0)

The Greek festival.

Hello everyone. We were able to head off to the Greek festval last saturday. Jimmy was one happy kid. He ate practically at every stand, and enjoyed the sights and sounds of all that was there! What a God given day. (It really made up for the worries we had over him over the Holidays. Not know why the crying and tantruming. Thats all in the past and he is on 2 new meds, also had his teeth filled and cleaned, so onto 2008. Which I know rhymes with Great!! lol. ). May it be Great for you all and hold only beautiful and wonderful things. We ALL need a break! Love, Lin N Crew~* Enjoy these pics.

Teeth filled and tatto's. :0)

Hi Everyone in Blogsville...Jimmy had his teeth filled under gen. anesthesia last week. he did real well. he seemed sedated when we kissed him good-bye but once inside the operating room, he had other idea's. he jumped off the table and began running around the room, touching stuff. It took 8 people to get him back on the table. I warned them that he was a runner.......who listens. lol. I have a few cute pics of him after the ordeal, as we slipped thru Wendy's for a ch. frosty. :0) Then afterwards (on another day) I got my tatoo! Its the heart of the ocean from the movie the Titanic. On my foot. :0) The movie makes me remember that no matter how tough things get they can always be worse. I love that movie it gives me the drive to go on, stay on the ship as long as possible.....pray, hope. SO, you shall see a pic of my foot. lol. Yesterday my oldest child Mike celebrated his 21st birthday! Big Milestone. :0) He is a good kid. Going to school and working. he is going to Automotive school at nite and working during the day........perfect. :0) Well, must run for now. Jimmy decided to stay up all nite. He's been burping a LOT and the Drs. seem to think its reflux. He has to see a G.I. Dr. now. It douth never end........Love, Lin N Crew~*
