Sandy Hook
Day of Silence:
I know all of you share my sadness over what happened yesterday. As a mother - I can't FATHOM how those parents must feel. This hits so close to home for Andrew and I; these babies that were taken are the age of our sweet Ethan (6.) I can't begin to think of what it would be like to lose him. I'm heartbroken for the all the families. I hope you will all be praying for the people of CT. They need our prayers.
On Tuesday, December 18th, there will be a blogger day of silence. We will post the button and that's it. Please try to not post anything else that day if possible.
We are also raising money that will go to an organization in the memory of this tragedy. The organization is called The Newtown Family Youth and Family Services. Here is the official description of the support service we are donating to:
"Newtown Youth and Family Services, Inc. is a licensed, non-profit, mental health clinic and youth services bureau dedicated to helping children and families achieve their highest potential. NYFS provides programs, services, activities, counseling, support groups and education throughout the Greater Newtown area.
ANY DONATIONS MADE TO NEWTOWN YOUTH AND FAMILY SERVICES WILL BE DONATED DIRECTLY TO THOSE EFFECTED BY THE SANDY HOOK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SHOOTING."
Please visit THIS PAGE to make your donation.
We can't imagine how they must be feeling, especially this close to the holidays. We would love for you to spread the word on your own blog, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Let's make a difference and use blogging in a positive way. Thank you in advance for participating.
Love,

trial run
So yesterday I had quests over and had put Abbey down for her nap so I could foil Auntie Diane's hair. Abbey took her normal nap and when I went to get her up I found her laying on top of her changing table (picture below)
She was yelling help because she didn't know how to get back into her bed. So I asked some of my mommy friends on Facebook if I should make her bed into a toddler bed or keep it the same. Andrew and I talked about it and came to the conclusion that if it was not a good time we could always put the rail back on. So trial run... I got Abbey all ready for bed, and before we started our nightly routine I got on my knees and looked in Abbey's eyes. I said "Abbey this is your new Big Girl Bed, mommy or daddy will put you in your new bed and get you out, if you need us just call us!" We followed our routine and I put her in her bed; and she STAYED in her bed all night! I'm so proud of my Big baby girl. Makes a mommy sad when this day comes that your baby is no longer in a crib.

20 months...
This past Saturday Abbey was 20 months old. She is your average toddler; but oh so sweet! She is talking more and more, climbing up our chairs, loves her blankie, loves apples and banana's, likes bath time,you are using sign language more and more, and it's amazing that at 20 months old she knows how to find the things that interest her on my iphone! Abbey is increasing her vocabulary daily! Abigail we are so so blessed to have you in our family, you have brought all of us a joy we didn't know was missing until you came! We love you so much sweet pea~
