Dear Friends & Family,
The past year has been one of tremendous challenge. Economic conditions have made it necessary for most to make careful choices about how to spend, save, and give their resources. That is why YAV especially appreciates those who have chosen to continue their support.
Those who make charitable gifts may wish to structure the amount and timing of their gifts to make the best use of tax incentives available this year. Remember, gifts made by December 31 can help reduce the amount of taxes you owe next April.
Act Today! You can donate online by clicking here, or through the mail at the address listed below.
Your tax-deductible contribution will help us advance our mission to enhance the lives of children in and through the arts. The need for you to help is great and the opportunities are plenty. Please give as generously as you can.

...Merry Christmas, To Me...
Not a great picture but it certainly highlights the new glasses. Being practical for the holidays makes me feel smart.
Update: Momma & Baby Green
This morning I headed out to my nutrition class for the gestational diabetes. I had a quick eval and then was in a class with two other women. During the evaluation I was able to have another ultrasound of the baby. It was great and made my morning. La Petite Bebe Green was tucked all up on its belly which meant we were not able to see any gender bits. However, it kicked towards the ultrasound wand and made everything go all fuzzy for a minute which made me laugh! Say it with me now - "Mooom, get out my room!"
I'm excited to get these blood sugars under control. Thankfully from doing weight watchers in the past I already have a good start on counting and measuring foods. Now, I just have to subscribe to their way of doing it. Also, I have to remember to take my blood sugar readings 4 times a day. So, starting tomorrow I'm going to make it my number one priority. I'll keep you posted on my progress. My follow-up in on 12/31 and at that time they will evaluate if I will be able to do this with diet or if I'll need oral medication or insulin.
On a very good front, my awesome husband is willing and eager to go on the diabetic diet with me. He's already been working hard to change his perception of portion sizes so this will be another great step in the right direction for all of us.
Keep your fingers crossed it will all work out!
PS. I did forget to mention that I only gained 2 pounds since my last doctor's visit, but I was wearing lots of layers including a vest. I'm not sure all those pounds belonged to my body.
