We are heartsick over the Connecticut school shootings, and I’m having a hard time blogging about our very blessed life while others suffer such profound tragedy.
In an effort to catch up on blogging prior to our annual pilgrimage to New Hampshire for Christmas, here goes~~~
We’re all fully recovered from our ordeal, and doing our best to enjoy this precious life of ours to the fullest again. I often think about how lucky we are to get to go to what have to be some of the funnest parties on the planet. We’ve had a string of them in the past few days~~
*
Our dear friends, the Kulps, annual Christmas Party (this party is always outrageously festive and unbelievably amazing!)~~
Spencer’s 5th Birthday Party (at a bouncy place! Meera was on Cloud 9!)~~
Zoe’s 8th Birthday Party (at a bowling rink! the bambinos had an absolute BLAST!)~~
And a First Friday (this time was Kyle and Mama; and they are almost never on a Friday anymore; this one was on a Saturday)~~
Every ‘First Friday’ feels so special. This one felt so special. I took Kyle to a fancy classic steak house (steak = his favorite, and he is becoming quite the connoisseur). We had the best time together and savored every minute of that deliciousness (the food and the time). I will say this: my boy Kyle is quite the charmer. I have a hard time not imagining what he’ll be like on a date with someone special someday in his future. He is a boy who knows how to make his date feel like a million bucks. And he definitely appreciates the finer things in life and enjoys –more than anything– seeing others enjoy them too. I hope and pray that I’ll be able to see how his life continues to unfold.
Fun times with your kids! We live 1/2 mi. from Sandy Hook school and if we hadn’t sent our Ella to another year of Montessori she would have been there. To say we are heartbroken and devestated would be an understatement. There truly are no words. One thing is for sure though-I ve been enjoying every moment with our 2 babies even more and hugging them even tighter.
I always love to read your blog-you’re and inspiration and I just love your family.
Blessings,
Hope
So glad to hear you all are feeling better. We are bracing ourselves for the Flu here at the Y – 2 local high schools have it going around, and my boss has been under the weather for quite some time.
I am absolutly heart broken about CT.
Happy holidays!
My heart is also heavy for the families and communities affected by CT and a recent loss of a ex classmate.
And so am also trying to be present and thankful for my blessings. Glad to read your fun post thanks for sharing it :), love what you wrote about Kyle!
