No words.

Just came home from a very long day.  A day where I couldn't go refill my water glass without seeing the terror continue to unfold.

As I picked up Madeline from school today, I couldn't help but squeeze her and choke up.  When she asked me why I was sad, I just sat there wondering how do I even begin to explain to my preschooler why 20 kids went to school today and are never coming home.

Instead I just quietly explained that there are lots of kids' families that we need to pray for right now.  She looked at me very seriously and asked "Do they need us to pray for them to get hats and gloves and coats, Mommy? Because we can help them get that stuff." 

You have a big heart, kid.  A big heart.

New ornaments

Look at me: blogging from gymnastics! Just wanted to share our new Christmas ornaments because they are AWESOME. As is Madeline's fantastic new hair cut!

Blog to go?

Thanks to the ridiculous number of extra students I had in my last couple of classes, I was able to buy a new (to me) iPad. My rationalization for this was that it will help me keep up with my classes while on the go. It just occurred to me that it might help with blog posts on the go as well. So I'm trying it out while hanging out in bed. Not bad.


THANK YOU a million times over to all of you who have been spreading the word about our amazon deal and shopping like maniacs! November was AWESOME and it looks like December will be as well!

10 more days of class!
