Day 19.... I'm Sorry

I am sorry that we have just begun and I have already failed you. I went missing and didn't say a word.

I make no promises but I will try to better.

Fridays tragic events in Connecticut left us broken, overflowing with sorrow, angry. It called for silence. A time for prayer.

We went along doing things to find comfort, to celebrate each moment becuase you never know.....

We baked.

I attempted to make Christmas Wreaths... but I forgot the green food coloring... and didn't have much patience for it. I thought it would be easier to mold together.... not true. But we did our best. I also could not find red hots, so we used mini m&m's.

I think we still did a decent job. Atleast they tasted good.

We found comfort in it.

We made more cookies but I got deep into the baking. I forgot to take pictures. I enjoyed what we were doing....together.

We found magic in the things around us.

Have you ever layed under a Christmas tree and looked up at all the lights? It IS magical.

And on top of all the other things going on, we have a sick munchkin. So we make healthy foods to help little bodies recover.

And we make comforting things to sip on, to warm our bodies and our battered souls.

Things like teas and warm Christmas milk.

I hope you our finding comfort.

Our hearts go out to all those affected by the tragic events of last Friday.
