Plus I got to spend an entire week with these kiddos. My sister is keeping these two right now and my husband and I got to babysit for a week while they were away. They are such incredibly precious and happy babies. That week taught me that maybe the whole parenting thing isn't so bad after all when you have an amazing husband who is going to make such an incredible father. I have to say we made a pretty great team and I don't think I've ever been more proud to be his wife. 
That same week, an unimaginable tragedy hit the nation. A gunman opened fire at an elementary school and killed several kindergarten and first graders. I cannot even begin to understand the mentality of someone who could do that to anyone, much less precious, innocent babies. My heart is so broken for these families and for this world we live in. It drives me crazy that so much of the world wants to turn this into a gun control issue. However, I am not going to speak my opinion on that matter...yet. For now, let's remember these children, their families, the teachers who died protecting their class (as a teacher of Kindergartners I cannot even imagine the horror of watching someone try to hurt my babies and know without hesitation I would do anything in my power to protect them.), and yes, even the murderer and his family (as hard as that may be) in our prayers. It serves as a reminder that we are never guaranteed another day on this earth. Make the most of every day with your loves ones and for God. James 4:14- Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
It's crazy to think (especially in this 70+ degree weather) that tomorrow is Christmas! This year has just flown by. I have been so blessed in so many ways this year. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! Enjoy your families and hold them close.
