Merry Christmas Eve

Update
It is good to see pictures of the little cousins! They grow so fast. I wanted to let everyone know that life here in Massachusetts is going very well. I was just accepted into my number one choice for graduate school! I will be going to Lesley University to pursue a Masters in Special Education. I will begin in the spring and am very excited.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas time!
Take care,
Art
Happy Birthday
Are there any other December birthdays that we are missing here. If so please leave a comment. Any other news out there, pass it along.
A reindeer day
Today some of the kids got together to get in the Christmas Spirit. Mateo, Abram, Everett, Sawyer, Connor, Jack, and Paxton made Red Nosed Reindeer cookies at Caroline's house. Even though the boy got a little crazy at times it was a fun day and maybe a bit of a preview of Christmas Eve.
Christmas Eve
Hot chocolate and cookies will be served at Grandpa Art's and Carlos' house between 4 to 6 on Christmas Eve so stop by to wish them a Merry Christmas. From 5 to 9, a buffet and games will be offered at the Smith residence. Please call me or Susan with any questions.

I Have Moved
This is Little Art. I have finally made my move back to the Boston area. I work for the Cambridge Public Schools in Special Education. I love it! I finally had to do this, or else I think i might have felt very stuck in Maine. I needed some more things to do like the arts, theater and a wider variety of people! So, if anybody is heading out East, let me know, and I can help you out. My tentative plan is to visit you guys this Christmas, since I haven;t been able to make it out there this past year. I want to make it a yearly thing.
Ok, I look foreword to hearing from you all!
Love,
Little Art
It's a..... Wait, we don't know yet.
new posts
so here it is. This month has been especially fun I have cuaght a lot of fish and shot a lot of birds. and I went to a fun footbal game (even though the dogs lost)
Fun at the BallGame
For Jack and Paxton it was their first time at a Dodger Game. I think Jack at a whole Cotton Candy, and Paxton tried his first Dodger Dog.
3/4 of the Grimsley Clan made it down, further down you see Alli not watching the game.
We had a fun time even though Paxton didn't really care what was going on with the game.
Connor and Chris got to go down to the field before the game. I heard they were on the Diamond Vision, traffic was bad so some of missed that part. All in all, it was a fun night. There was a lot of our family there and more friends too. Barry Bonds played, but didn't homer. I'll let you commenters talk about who won and who lost. If anyone else wants to send a picture, you can always email them to me, or post directly from your cell phone.
I'm looking forward to the Fresno State - Oregon football game where at least then we'll all be rooting for the same team.

I check this post looking for new ones...... but have not seen one in a while
so here it is - a new post -
GO GIANTS!!!!!!! August 11th its on.
Happy Birthdays
Summer Entertainment
Put your movie and book reviews for the summer season here! Sad to say I've only seen one movie this year -- Pirates 2. It was alright, not as good as the first one, and a lot more disgusting.
On books - a very good read was "My Sister's Keeper" by Jodi Picoult. So-so's have been "Any Place I Hang my Hat" and "A Virtuous Woman".
Comment here or email me and I will publish.
Thanks,
Caroline
Fall Plans
I am writing to let you know I have accepted a position in Seoul, Korea to teach English at the Dongsung ESL School, a private language institution. The offer was too good to pass up. They are offering a one-room apt., a round-trip plane ticket, health insurance, as well as a similiar pension plan here in the states, although taxes including health care will be 11% of my monthly salary. The contract will be for one-year, and we will play it by ear.
Hope all is well.

Bulldog Football
![](http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7705/593/320/fres-top-dog1.gif)
The Bulldogs are playing against Oregon on Saturday September 9th in Fresno. I know the Grimsley Boys are wanting to go. Good tickets won't be available for too long, I already got my tickets. I am going to have a Barbeque prior to the game in Selma. Figuring if a bunch of people go and maybe won't all be able to sit together at least we can have a get together with good food first.

Question
Pictures
Paxton
I just think this mobile blogging idea is such a cool thing, with as many people in our family with camera phones we should be able to get new stuff up here all the time. Well This was Paxton this morning, the pictures a little blurry because he won't stay still.
Mobile Blogging
Here is a pic of doug i snapped on my phone. There is a new way to share on the blog. You can send pictures or text messages from your cell phone right onto the blog. You simply take a picture, send it to go@blogger.com and then you'll get a message back on your phone. They send you a website with your picture, after that you can log in and redirect those posts to this blog. You only have to do it once, the trick is you will want to log in to blogger using our log in name so that when you visit your picture page you can redirect it here. If you have any questions about this just let me know. I learned about it 5 minutes ago and just sent my first pic.

Quick Update
Just wanted to let you guys know things are going well. I just resigned my position at the place I have been working. I have put in my year service, and in that time many things have changed for the worse. Although I am a left-winger, when it comes to kids I am pretty right wing. In their attempt to be more "kid-friendly" they seemed to have lost their objectivity and their sense of consistency.
Anyway, I look foreword to working here and there at a public school doing after school theater, and to the things I have put off. I hope to visit CA in Christmas time. I will let everyone know when the time approaches. Take care!

I'm not quite sure what Mateo was doing here.
It's a bird! It's a plane! Actually that's close, it was two helicopters.
