Too sensitive

At the risk of offending people by the title of this post, I wish to only make a simple comment;
To all the sensitive people out there.... GET OVER IT!
By using people and their activities as examples to get a point across, I am bombarded with comments, " you forgot him, you forgot her, what about me, etc etc." Come on people. do you realize how many individuals I would have to list to make sure everyone was included.
It just seems like we can't win. The more we try to connect, the more people get upset over stupid little sensitive things.
We will continue to post, if you want to comment, we encourage it, If you want to e-mail me on the side to tell me I spelled something wrong or I forgot to mention someone, or I made a comment about someone they didn't like, save it, I don't want to hear it.
So... What do you have to say about that?

UPDATE!


This is Jaime at 10 weeks!
She is a little nervous about twins since according to all of the books that she's read she really shouldn't even be showing yet and obviously there is an active twin gene in the Gravel family... we'll see.
In other news, Jaime and I were wondering how ya'll felt about this blog thingy? I mean, there really hasn't been a whole lot of posts and the ones we do get are AWESOME! This time I am forwarding this to some of you to make sure you get the info.
We were talking about making the effort to keep connected with all our nieces and nephews by supporting them in thier extra ciricular activities. Obviously we can't go to every sporting event and every dance recital but we would like to make a showing to support the ones we love! If all of you would like to use this blog as a central point to post when you have something coming up, it would be great! we could see when Ben is playing football, Jessyca is playing soccer, Evan is playing basketball, Emily's playing softball, Laura's playing soccer, Amanda is dancing, and Jessica is.... well we really cant go see Jessica playing quarters at some frat party at Keens State! (Sorry Jess that doesn't count as a sporting event, besides, you really should be studing or reading the BIBLE!!!!!) and Corey, Steven, and Megan, we would live to see what youre up to.
Let us know....

BUSY BUSY

Jaim and I haven't had a chance to post in a week or two... so much is going on, yet we have little to tell.
I have been going to night school every Wed. and Thurs. (Chemistry is really hard! no wonder I avoided it in high-school). And Jaime continues her Bible study and the all important job of carrying our baby!
Oh, one thing that happened is our T.V. broke.
If you want to get back to a simpler life, turn your TV off and learn a few card games. We have been spending alot of time at the kitchen table as a family, playing cards and learning to play Dominos from Dave. I still don't get the whole slamming it down thing though.
Every Friday night Jaime and I drag Sean along to Ste Maries to be a part of a teen group. Sean complains but I think he secretly like it. (Many cute girls).
Father Marc goes through a portion of "Theology of the Body", then we break off in groups to ask the kids questions and try to provide some guidance. I would say it is easier for Jaime... girls love to talk! But teenage boys just sit there!
More later.... Bye
