Christmas Greetings 2009
I typically put a letter in with my Christmas cards reporting to all friends and family how we are doing. In light of Facebook, Twitter, and Blogs, I decided to fore go the formal letter (and save a tree)!
It's been a good year for the Maggios. We started the year with Jeff working for the same company that he had worked with for almost 10 years. Business was slow, as it had been for more than a year, but we were hanging in there. The company announced in March that after 135 years of service, they were closing their doors. Within 24 hours, Jeff began setting up interviews. He had a job less than 10 days later. His new job is basically doing the same thing he did before, but it has turned into a much more lucrative position. He is happier and is actually busy doing loans again. Yeah! Jeff also stepped into a more active role in the men's group at church and is assisting with leadership duties there, along with continuing to play in the church band. He runs his second half-marathon this Saturday (13.1 miles).
Dylon has been busy also. He finished out his school year at his old school with straight A's. He spent the summer playing AAU basketball and attending a summer internship at our church. He has now entered his second semester at his new school and is thriving. He finished his first semester with football and is now playing basketball. He had all A's, 2 B's on his first report card.
Ashton spent the summer playing softball and also attending our church's summer internship program. She loves her new school, as well. She had all A's, 1 B on her first report card. She played softball for the fall semester and is now participating in basketball. She attends her first Christmas Holly Ball this Friday. She and I are attending a trip together to Washington, D.C. in March 2010 with her 7th grade class.
Adrianne is just a bundle of joy. She has finally grown some hair and I love it! :) She is with me every day, volunteering, running errands, etc. She knows her ABC's and can identify most all her letters and numbers, 1-10. She does "school" once a week, with a curriculum I found. She is very obedient and a joy to be around. She loves Dylon and Ashton!
Many of you have wondered about the progress of the book. It is currently in production and will be out Spring or Summer 2010. There is lots of silence during this time of production, whereby editing is taking place. I am excited about the growth of the single moms group. We are continuing to add ladies weekly. I spend much of my time counseling, emailing, and talking with single moms. I am still actively running and cooking (which seems to be much of my life these days). I run Dylon and Ashton from one event to the other. I am looking forward to what's next with the single moms venture, but do not know exactly what that is. I have 2 radio shows and a magazine interview lined up, along with 2 featured articles in on-line magazines.
We are thankful for all God is teaching us during this time and all his many blessings on our lives. I am finished with my holiday shopping (an all-time record for me) and have gotten up all the Christmas decorations. I am super-excited about Christmas. I have 9 Christmas parties lined up in the next 20 days.........my favorite time of year!

Happy Birthday, Son!
To my handsome son,
Today is your day, your 14th birthday! I cannot believe you are 14. It is official that you are no longer a boy, but on a journey to manhood. It's weird and emotional and exciting, all at the same time. I can honestly say that I could not be more proud of you. You work extremely hard on your grades and sports. You are so handsome, so kind. I love how good you are with Adrianne. She loves her big bubby. I love that you and Ashton tell secrets to one another and protect each other. You are a special young man who has a bright future in store. I only wish I had a baby picture that I could embarrass you with! (I couldn't get any of them to scan correctly onto the computer, too bad).
Ashton's First Public Ballet Performance
Ashton performed yesterday afterschool, along with another girl, to celebrate the grand opening of the school's coffee shop. She did beautifully. Her ballet teacher was pleased with their performance.

The Cheerleader
She had never been Trick or Treating before and I haven't taken any of my kids in many years. However, I thought it was innocent fun and really wanted to see her get out and enjoy herself. I figured she would be super duper shy and not say a word, but boy was I wrong! She bee-bopped right up to each door and loudly proclaimed "Trick or Treat", as she then shouted, "Thank you" after each gift. She sometimes even gave a quick cheer of "Go Tigers!" The whole family walked around the neighborhood and it took about an hour. She had the best time, actually we all did. We took turns taking her up to the door.

Live the Dream 2009
Healing Place Church's Live the Dream 2009----random pics of events, friends, and family.
I'm still in shock of all God did.
My aunt and her friend drove many hours to experience this with me.
There were funny skits, powerful speakers, inspiring songs, and 100s of corn dogs! There were 1200-1300 women present with another 1000 online. You cannot put into words how God moved on the ladies that were part of this event. I've been part of many ladies events through the years and this was like none other.
