The big, big, biggedy big news is now official. After living for 2 weeks as a guest in our own home (in the main floor guestroom), I no longer like the stairs and I think it is time to get a new home. Why is it that I can ride the Stairmaster at the gym for 30 minutes, but one trip up the stairs in our home and I have to sit down and catch my breath?
We hit the pavement hard last weekend and we have found a wonderful ranch floor plan that will allow us to have our “real” bedroom, the baby’s room, the washer/dryer and our home office all on one level. Most importantly, Jo will be able to go back to a fairly normal daily routine without having to worry about the stairs. Jo’s actually most excited about being able to once again peek in on Anna when she is sleeping.
We will close around December 12th, so stay tuned for information on moving day!

Hi Jo, Tim & Anna. We are missing you here in the UK. It seems ages since there was any news of you. We have been looking on your www and sent a couple of emails but now we understand why you have not got round to replying. Great news about Anna though. Looks as if she was worth the effort, but then aren't all daughters? Sorry, however, to read the problems with your health. Very hard to take it all in. After knowing you for so long on the dance circuit as being so bright and bubbly to having the problems with your hips. Cannot imagine what you and Tim have been and are going through. Can you not write any dances for using crutches? Will keep looking in on the www for more news. Hope to see you again some time in the future. Love Anne & Chris Stamp London, England( You won't know the name but you would know the faces.)(CWStamp@aol.com)
What a "Wonderful" Holiday present. I hope it comes with a basement so that when Jo is well - she can have her own dance studio in her home. Just envision teaching dance classes to Anna and her friends! JAM
Dear Jo and Tim:
I was reading Carol Craven's newsletter and found out about this site. I had always wondered where you had gone to. Living in Ottawa, Canada I don't always hear about things as quickly as if I were living in the States. I am so sorry to hear about all your troubles, but I know that you are truly blessed with your little girl Anna. I will keep you all in my prayers and I know that God will get you through this. Jo, you are a very strong woman and you have a very devoted husband and family. Good luck with your new home.
God Bless

God Bless & keep you. We all wish your whole family the best & we will keep you in our praayers. Your dancing friends from Cambridge, Ny & Bennington Vt. We sure miss you Jo. Ginny
Jo, Tim and Anna, All the dancers in Northern Colorado have you on their minds and in their prayers that everything 'rights' itself quickly. Your courage, both individually, and as a family, is truly unbelievable. But then the inner strength each of us possess can be the ultimate healing power. Stay strong for each other and Anna and we all look forward to a time that we see you both on the dance floor again.
Pretty funny about the Polish blood! And THANK YOU for this blog. Now we don't have to keep asking nosey questions of everyone.
At the risk of being labeled 'computer nerd', I don't exactly know what a blog is... However, I, and my students DO know about Jo and her wonderful dances. We continue to dance the dance and think good thoughts. Please keep up the great newsflashes, so all the dancers can be in the loop. Take care of the precious little one and remember all the 'little moments', as they are the ones you never forget. Take care and we'll be thinking of you all.

Cool site! We miss you, love you and pray for you constantly. Man, what is up with us and our stange diseases? Our trio is doing the Wizard of Oz for Halloween. I still remember you starring as Dorothy and I was a Munckin. We look forward to seeing you soon. Take care, David, BeLynda and the Trio (Zander, Kaden & Addison)

Jo,& Tim our prayers are with you and hope only the best for you. I have enjoyed watching you dance on the Scooter Lee video's and doing the dances. We also enjoyed meeting you with you were in Salina, Ks. at one of your workshops. You are the best teacher around, but you are always ready to give all teachers credit. Good luck to your family.
Just want to give our support and you are thoughts and prayers. I'm not sure that anyone in my classes has ever seen you, but when we do your dances I'll ask them to say a prayer for you..... so you can choreograph more dances for us to do!!
God's blessings to all of you.
