MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Merry Christmas 2009

This year has been a great one! We have had so many blessings come our way this year and we are so grateful for each one.

This has been a big year for us. We moved this summer into an apartment in Middletown Pa. It is in a very nice community and it is a great quiet place to be. We love it here and are very settled. We have also gotten rid of a car and found that it is really the best thing that happened to us this year. We have been able to focus more on our family and Greg on school. It has been great to spend more time together and less time in the car rushing around.

Greg is finally in his last year of undergrad! He graduates in May!! He took the GRE’s this fall and got a 730 out of 800 on the Math! I am so proud of him and all the effort he has put into his schooling. Greg also applied to many different Grad schools this fall, Carnegie Melon in Pittsburgh, Clemson in South Carolina, Rutgers in New Jersey and Main Campus of Penn State. There are others I cannot remember right now but you get the point. We will not know until late in the spring where and when we will be going. We are keeping our fingers crossed that we get accepted to at least one of them and can start on our way to Greg’s P.H.D! Greg is also applying and considering many job opportunities as well. We are trying to cover all our bases so that if one plan falls through there is another to land on.

I have had a full year keeping up with the daily managing of the household and Grayson. I have finally started sewing again and I am enjoying it immensely. I have made new friends who are a blessing to me everyday and keep me sane. Grayson is growing like a weed. Grayson is starting to realize there are words around him and is trying to mimic what is being said. He also has many favorite things, bath time being the biggest one!

There is not much else to say but Thank You! Thank You for your love and support throughout the year and for all you have done for us! Thank You!

Have a Happy and Healthy Christmas and New Years!!

Greg, Hazel, and Grayson Vallette
