It has been a busy 6 months in the Grebe house to say the least! In September I started a new job working as an Administrative Assistant at The Pantry, Inc. which owns about 1600 +/- convenience stores in 11 states. My job is in the Operations Support Department which deals directly in helping the stores with many things. It is a good job that is interesting and the company is one in which there are many opportunities for growth. Needless to say corporate America definitely takes some getting used to when you have been self-employed for some time! Jimmy started daycare not long after I went to work and he absolutely LOVES it! He goes to the First Presbyterian Child Development Center here in Sanford and has been having a blast since he started. They are wonderful people and we have been extremely pleased at how well they take care of him. A good daycare is hard to find, we have been blessed! At 19 months now he is quite the little fireball! It seems I have doomed myself as he is basically Jim's clone in about every way! He is already a comedian and tries to make us laugh all the time. He talks non-stop! (I guess he got something from me! LOL) The pediatrician was very pleased when we were there last month at how well he is doing as far as development goes and actually told us he is a bit ahead of the curve! We have so much fun listening to each and every new words he learns and watching him understand so many things! Real Estate seems to be a bit slow here, but unlike a lot of places things are selling! Jim keeps himself busy with his 5 neighborhoods as they take up lots of time needing regular contact with all his builders and maintenance on all his websites. He likes it a lot and I know the real estate business is a good fit for him. we ourselves built a new house in 2008 and have been moved in since about November. We are enjoying living in the country on 3 acres and being able to play outside with Jimmy and our newest addition Walker. Walker is a Golden Retriever mix who Jim found on the side of the road in January. He is a great dog already at 10 weeks and growing so fast. He and Jimmy will be best buddies for sure! They seem to follow each other around already! The new house is wonderful. It has lots of space for us to grow in for many years to come. I will be posting some more pictures soon to include ones of the house and Walker. Better get going for now, Jimmy is sleeping and needs to be carried up to his room. Will write more soon! Love to all, Jessye, Jim, & Jimmy. xoxo

At the park...



He loves his red wagon!


Handsome!




Comedian already...







Welcome to our family blog! After many requests from family members to see updated photos of Jimmy, we decided it would make sense to start a blog so everyone could check it out at their leisure and know what is going on in our lives.
