It's hard to put into words how I felt much of this weekend. I know I spent a lot more time snuggled on the sofa with my boys and probably hugged them both a little harder than normal. And, honestly, I should be doing that anyway. It shouldn't take a tragedy like happened in Newtown, CT to remind us all how precious our babies are and how quickly time passes. It is getting so close to Christmas and New Year's, so slow down , smile, laugh, and enjoy this time of family togetherness!
To learn how you and your family can help the families of Sandy Hook Elementary and their community, please check out the article about Children Helping Sandy Hook Students and Supporting Sandy Hook Elementary of Newtown. Both articles and images were given to me by Lisa, the Publisher of Macaroni Kid Newtown.
