I ran 20 miles yesterday and I am all set for running the Boston
Marathon on Monday, April 20th. I will need all the cheering I can get
so I would love to see you all along the course to keep me going!

Update from Charlotte

Hi Everyone,

Hello family! Wow, how long has it been since we gave everyone an update? I know many of you can relate to just not having enough time in the day to even send an email. We are all keeping busy and having lot's of fun! We are getting ready for a busy month of April with lot's of big birthday celebrations. Brylie turns 3 on Easter Sunday (12th), Grady and Dylan turn 1 on the (24th) and Buddy will be 30 something on the (25th). Brylie is loving her role as Big Sister to "her boys" and as you can see from the picture she has become quite the baker. We did get some snow in Charlotte this winder, don't laugh at the "covering" or "dusting", it actually was a very BIG deal down here in the South! Grady and Dylan have developed quite the personalities. As you can see from their pictures, Dylan looks more like me and Grady looks more like his Daddy - however their personalities are quite the opposite. Grady is a little more laid back and easy going like his mommy and Dylan, well let's just say he can get in to some mischief. We have our flights booked for a late summer 2 week vacation on Sagamore, we will be arriving on Philips Rd. on August 29th - September 12th. We can't wait and hope to see many of you!! We will be in touch with some Birthday photos next month!

Love,

Amie, Buddy, Brylie, Grady and Dylan

Update from Kathleen and Logan

I wanted to post these pictures to the blog that are documenting Logan's first visit to Mystic. We were welcomed by two lovely ladies (Mom & Hailee) holding a sign with ribbons labeled "Kathleen and Logan's Taxi". We were than taxied to the Langenbach Bed and Breakfast :) That is what it has felt like anyway! I have been spoiled rotten here. It has truly been a wonderful trip. I was even treated with a special visit from two of the Aunts- Kathy and Ann and their good friend Susan who pretty much could be considered another Aunt. Thanks for coming you made my day! PS Aunt Kathy congrats on that awesome award. Anyways, I just wanted to touch base with everyone since it is so difficult to keep up and contact each and everyone of you. We are truly blessed to have this blog, I think that all of are hearts are in the same place with this family and this gives us the opportunity to share our lives together. So a big thanks to Jon for setting it up! To Aunt Roberta and cousin Tommy you are such troopers. I have had you on the top of my prayer list and I know that God is doing and always does powerful work with prayer. I also want Shelly and Uncle Terry to know I am thinking of you also. From what I hear you two are the best partners anyone could ask for! Logan and I are doing great. He turned 3 months on the Feb 20 this week and he is around 14 lbs now. He is my little buddy! Sooo over and out from the south and KEEP ON BLOGGING!! I love you all and love to hear about you.

Kathleen

Greetings from the Uxbridge Nealon Clan

Hope everyone is making it through the winter and looking forward to Spring! We visited my parents in Florida last week. It was great spending time with them and relaxing in the relatively warm weather (it is all relative). Our trip also overlapped a little bit with Jon/Jenny's which was nice as well. Terry and Roberta are doing fine. They love where they are - Indian Rocks Beach is a beautiful place. They also love being close to my Aunt Renie (she is right next door). I know they are looking forward to seeing Aunt Ann as well. Our clan continues to stay busy. RJ is starting to get deluged with college emails and brochures. With half of his Junior year behind us, the sobering reality of a college search is imminent. Mary recently finished her Freshman basketball season at Holy Name. She enjoyed playing basketball again especially blocking all those shots from all those short girls (Mary is officially 6 ft). Mike is thriving in 8th grade at OLV in Uxbridge. His academic achievements (straight A's) are clear evidence that educational performance skips a generation. Leslie is enjoying her new school this year as well. She is still dancing, playing basketball and just started art classes (which she loves). I'm proud to say that Jen earned her Massachusetts State Teachers certification in the Fall and also her license to teach. She has been substitute teaching and is actively searching for a full time teaching position. We are very proud of her new endeavor. Despite our hectic taxi cab driving responsibilities, Jen and I were able to turn a business trip into a pleasure trip in New Orleans last month - which was fun. Our first time to Bourbon Street-wow! That is our update for now. Please keep those healing prayers going for my Mom and Tommy Click. Wishing everyone health and happiness and an early Happy St. Patricks Day to all! -Bob

Update on Tom Click

I know all of you are concerned about Tom and thinking about him. He's still at Brigham and Women's recuperating from his second surgery, which was not planned. His attitude and spirit have been amazing to witness, given all he has gone through. Understandably, it is starting to weigh on him as it would anyone. He is really anxious to get home to Shelley and Ryan in time for Ryan's first birthday on Friday. Shelley has been a constant by his side and her love, caring and juggling abilities are truly something to admire. We are so blessed to have her in our family.

Many of you have asked what you can do. Right now, there is really not much we can do except pray hard for him. But, he does have his Blackberry and can receive emails. Feel free to send him one and let him know you are thinking of him. Of course, we have relayed your thoughts and prayers as well. He doesn't always have his email on, so he may not respond right away. But, I'm sure he'd love to hear from you. His email is tclick@techtarget.com.

When he's feeling better, I'm sure he will post a more proper update to the blog.

-Kelley.

THE SPECTACULAR SINGING SEVEN

From Right to left they are Jim, holding Logan Banks, Bailey Settar, Hailee Langenbach holding Grady Edwards, Brylie Edwards, Pam (aka Nomie or Nana) holding Dylan Edwards and Austin Settar.

Now that we have formally introduced you all to our grandchildren (aka THE SPECTACULAR SINGING SEVEN) They had their first GIG in Charlotte on New Years Day in the Settars kitchen singing You Are My Sunshine ---Accompanied by their own instruments! Needless to say they rocked the house! They can't wait to meet the Piano Man and his 75+ member band at Sagamore Beach so they can jam all together!

Love to everyone,
Pam & Jim

The view from Clockerville.

Hello All:
First of all to Tom Click - thanks for the update and the inspiring courage that is palpable from your words. You are in all of our minds and hearts.
Keep up the incredibly positive attitude Tom. It really will help and this whole experience will be a distant memory in due time. Kudos to Shelley, Ann, Kelly and Matt, Dave for all of your support to Tom.
Tom – I’ve always said that colons were overrated. So hang in there and thanks for the excuse to have a Manhattan in your and Shelley’s honor tonight.

Lorraine and I are missing Jeff and Chris tremendously and slowly but surely adjusting to the empty nest. However, our feelings are tempered by the fact that they are very happy at Loyola and doing great. They’re really enjoying Baltimore (or Ballmore as the locals call it). In addition to adjusting very well to the “college environment/experience” they both did very well academically in their first college semester in what is a challenging academic environment and we are really proud of them. Lorraine and I are going down to visit them in 2 weeks. The boys turned the big 19 on Feb. 1st.

The boys email addresses are: Jeff: janealon@loyola.com Chris: crnealon@loyola.com

Lorraine’s birthday was on Feb. 4 which we celebrated at Bullfinch’s in Sudbury with a quiet and enjoyable dinner.

I want to take the opportunity to do a shout out to Roberta and Terry in Fla. You are in our thoughts and prayers daily and we look forward to seeing you soon.

Well that’s it for now from Clockerville. We hope everyone is happy and having fun.

John and Lorraine
