Providing a sense of normalcy by keeping our annual tradition of watching Elf, cutting paper snowflakes and indulging in sweets.
Sending prayers upward for the families, friends, and the townspeople of Connecticut.

ReplyDeleteHi Kim, I have so many teachers in my family. We have heavy hearts and profound sadness.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim - We live about 30 miles from Newtown in Northville, CT now, but used to live in Southbury, CT for over 12 years which is a neighboring town. Our hearts are broken and we all ask the same question...WHY?? The area where we live is so peaceful, picturesque and quiet. We have all learned that it can happen anywhere! We are holding prayer vigils, we are organizing pancake breakfasts, making signs of encouragement and love for the families and the town etc. So glad you aren't overdoing the news coverage with your daughters - I hope you and your beautiful family have a blessed Christmas Hugs, Dorinda
