WHAT A YEAR!  I am so done with it.  This Christmas has been so tough, I have to say, hug your children today!  Our friend's son just passed away on Monday and it has all brought up so many emotions.  Children are a treasure, even though they may not seem like it some of the time.  You put all your love and knowledge into these little ones and then you never know when they can be taken from you. When you are at your wits end and want to quit your job as a parent, remember how it felt when you  held them as a baby and they slept in your arms.  I love you all and miss you all so flippen much!  Have a Happy New Year, this one's got to be better!  T
