So glad to "hear" from you again. I've been thinking about you lots and worrying about how you are feeling. I'm praying for you. Love you!!!! The children are beautiful. Even Peter! Hug them for me, please.
Jill!! Your kids are so stinking adorable!!! That little Peter...my goodness!! They are all beautiful.
I am so glad you updated and I hope to see more posts from you in 2012! It is fun to see what you are up to!
I am so sorry about your fibromyalgia...that must be a frustrating and difficult thing to deal with. I hope you have been able to find something that works to manage the pain and the symptoms...not fun at all when you are a mom everyday of the week and not feeling well. :( I hope things get better!!!
I want to hear more about your grocery saving experience...how you did it and how much you saved!! Do share!
Good to see some pics of your cute family. I am sorry you are dealing with pain and I am just doubling Laura's comment. But I do hope you find some things that works to help manage the pain.
