new year's eve

At this year draws to a close I sit here trying to reflect on how very blessed I am, but I am just so overcome with tears as all of my blessings come to mind- too many to even begin listing here, but I will certainly jot them down and tuck it in a safe spot as a friendly reminder for a rough day.  There were plenty of ups and downs this year, but as long as I have my family by me and we have our health, nothing else matters.  Here's to a safe, healthy, and happy 2013 for everyone!

Gabriella - 17 months old - loves being tickled, giving kisses,  and dancing

Benjamin - 17 months old - loves music, playing with trucks, and reading books

Connecticut

I'm at a loss for words.  My heart breaks for all of the families in Newtown.  I hope God sent down fleets upon fleets of angels to guide all of those innocent children and teachers Home.

Hugging Gabriella and Benjamin a little bit tighter tonight.
