Writer's Workshop Thursday again!
This week, I chose Mama Kat's prompt to spruce up my ABOUT ME page.
So click on over and check it out. If for no other reason than the extrememly cute photo of a 1-day old Amelia on there. How can you not love it?!?

Heartache
When I was pregnant, I joined an online message board group through iVillage. There, I virtually met and befriended numerous mommies, all of us expecting our bundles of joy in April of that year. Several are now Facebook friends. I love watching their children grow, just as they are watching Amelia grow through my photos, status updates, and this blog.
Tragically, one of those mommies must say goodbye to her husband today. The father of her precious children, ages 2 1/2 and 4. From what I've learned about him, he was a joyous person, an amazing dad, and a loving husband. He bravely fought cancer for 2 years. We thought he was doing OK... but he died, rather suddenly, with his family last week.
My heart aches for this family. For the wife/mother who must move forward with an empty space in her heart. For those children, who are struggling to understand where Daddy went. I cannot even begin to imagine how badly they hurt. How lost and confused they must feel. How much they want to scream at the world.
I don't know what I would do without my husband. I will count extra blessings today.
You do the same.

Creativity time
We enjoyed some family craft time this weekend. I highly recommend it - no television, no toys, just Mommy, Daddy, and Amelia working on a project together.
We made masquerade masks!
Supplies needed: white masks, popsicle sticks, glue, and decorative items (feathers, sequins, stickers, etc.)
While Daddy acted as glue assistant, Amelia concentrated hard on the task at hand:
Work in progress - lovely!
Finished!
Surprise! Can you guess who is who?
