Holiday Hiatus

We are still alive!  Just buried in the Holiday hoopla.  Heather with her house, Jody with her school and everything else in the mix....you know us.  I am sure all of you can relate.

We wanted to wish you all a very Happy New Year!  We hope you survived Christmas and are preparing your resolutions and getting ready to start fresh for 2013.

Heather and I will be on a little "Holiday Hiatus" but will be back after the New Year with more on the Venture!  

We hope you are holding your littles a little longer and a little closer these Holidays.  I know we are.

Thank you to all of our readers for visiting us this year.  2012 has been quite the AdVenture.....with many more to come!

Cheers!

Heartbroken

Where does one begin? 

There can't possibly be words big enough, strong enough or caring enough to express the grief, sadness and pain we feel for those that lost their babies, their mothers, their spouses, their friends last Friday.

Jody and I will never be the same.  We shouldn't be the same.  Our nation should not be the same.  We ask that the precious little lives that were taken not have been taken in vain.  Please take the time to make a difference.  Let's start addressing gun control and the mentally ill in our nation.  While we weep for those that will not hold their children again...smell their hair again...smile with them again....laugh with them again; let us not forget the parents that are right now living in fear of their own children.  Did Adam Lanza's parents try to get him help?  What were their options?  Did they have the health care coverage to pay for psychiatric help?  We know that his mother pulled him from school when he was young.  She must have known he needed extra care and attention.  Was it provided?
