NieNie

I'm not sure where or when I first read about this LDS blogger, Stephanie Nielson, but her story started popping up everywhere, including the New York Times article "After Blogger's Plane Crash, Virtual Becomes Personal."

Stephanie and her husband Christian Nielson were in a small-airplane crash in August, and have been hospitalized for months trying to recover. The story is heartwrenching because they have four little children too.

Her blog: http://nieniedialogues.blogspot.com is currently reposting old entries, and they really are charming. This is a woman who knows how to love her husband, her children, her role as a mother.

The colors and styling of the pictures really bring to life their home and world in Arizona. I've been quite touched as I read blogs by her and blogs about her (click on the cjane read blog for updates about their recovery.)

This picture ran in a recent repost & it charmed the socks off of me.

I also enjoy a little Nie Nie now and again (she really *celebrates* motherhood, which I appreciate, because I'm not always so positive about it). I've been covering her recovery for a while now and have some friends who are quite involved in the fund raising efforts. Their story is truly heart wrenching.

Did I say "covering" her recovery? What am I, a reporter? I've been following her recovery. Hello, Monday Morning!
