These are pictures left over from Thanksgiving but today as I look at them all I can think of is the tragedy that took place in Newtown, Connecticut on friday. The only thing mommy wanted to do all day was to get home and hug my babies. A mentally ill young man went into a school in Newtown and opened fire on classrooms full of children. 20 Children and six adults were killed including teachers who risked their own lives to save the kids in their classrooms. It was a horrific crime that has broken the hearts of so many people. It makes me appreciate our family and the moments we have together - they are so precious and I need to make sure I am appreciating every single one of them.

I love this picture of my five little angels.
