So I know I haven't posted in awhile, but after you read this you will know why. So in the beginning of Feb. I got a part-time job. Then I lost the job (they lost the grant that was going to be paying my salary) then I got another job. This job is actually much more perfect for me and I get to work from home! I am the fundraising developer (for lack of a better title) for a The care Foundation. This foundation works within the Center for Autism Research and Education. It is a great organization and I am proud to be a part of it. So I am currently planning a huge event coming up May 3rd. The event is a Spring Fashion show and silent auction. It is going to be great! However, given the state of the economy people are not as willing to donate items as they were say a year ago. I am still getting people to give, just not as much as I would like. I did get a company to donate a venue for FREE so that made me feel really awesome!!!! The other challenge I am coming up against is working from home while Madi is teething. We all know teething sucks for babies and I think it is equally hard on the parents to see their little one so sad. Matt is great and gives me as much time as he can during the mornings and on his days off to work, but there is so much still to do and 1 month to do it in! I know that I can do this! I know that God would not have put this perfect opportunity in my lap only to fail 2 months later. I just want to be able to make money for my family, while spending time with Madi. Right now I am doing it, I just hope this event is successful so that I can continue to do it! If you wanna pray for me pray that...donors come out of the wood-work to give us things to auction off, pray that we sell 100 tickets to the event (heck...if your praying...pray we sell 200 tickets) and pray that Madi cuts a tooth soon, she is pretty grumpy these days and I hate seeing her like that!
So I apologize for the lack of posting in awhile...but the pictures above are some current pictures of Madison. She is sitting up and is able to pull herself up on all "fours" but she hasn't crawled yet. Not for lack of trying!!

what a cute little girl!! Oh I can't wait to see her when I get home... she'll be SO big!
I will be praying for your event... but oh my gosh Jeannette that job sounds fantastic for you!!! Totally combining your gifts perfectly! I too know you can do this!
Love you
She also rocks, dont forget that. that is like the thing right before crawling!
You are a good mama!
Madi is too stinkin' cute!! The Lord will provide, be patient. You'll do a wonderful job with the event!
If I could I would give you 2,300 dollars for the food for the event.
That is my prayer for the week.
I am so inspired by you. You have your priority's set. That's why it is such a challenge, Satan wants you to forget that Matt and Madison are your number one. I know you feel overwhelmed at times, but this soon will pass. And then you will want these times back.
Your event will be amazing and when you have a vision like you do it can't help but be fabulous. I will be really fabulous if you put your mother on the runway of the fashion show. It has always been my small little dream you know. Love you your mother
