"Let every individual and institution now think and act as a responsible trustee of Earth, seeking choices in ecology, economics and ethics that will provide a sustainable future, eliminate pollution, poverty and violence, awaken the wonder of life and foster peaceful progress in the human adventure."
- John McConnell, founder of International Earth Day

RIGHT NOW, and then again tomorrow and then again the next day and on it goes day after day,
1/2 OF THE WORLD lives on LESS THAN 2 DOLLARS each day.

Psalm 27:4
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
Do all you can and don't worry about the odds against you. Wield the miracle of life's energy, never worrying whether we fail, concerned only that whether we fail or succeed we do so with all our might. That's all we need to know to feel certain that all our force of diligent effort is worth our while on Earth.
Carl Safina, Voyage of the Turtle

Big Happenings on the 5th!!!


T-shirts I made for 3 of the girls at the O. Marie, the O's director is planning a huge Christmas party for all the kids and different families had chosen kids to make t-shirts for gifts. This was my first attempt at transfers. Anything else I should add to the shirts..Any ideas, let me know. I have until the weekend to finish them,
and then I need to send them out.



Tuki's 2 year appointment was today.

She is 36" tall (95%), that is 3 feet folks. THREE FEET at only 2 years old!!!!
I am only 2' 6 1/2" taller than her. WILD!!!!!!

She also weighs 30'15oz at 90% with a 48 1/4cm head circumference at 75%.

Tuks was entertaining all the nurses with her new talking skills. She was extremely happy go lucky tonight. Matter of fact she has been for the last week. I think due her increased speaking skills decreasing her frustration of not being able to communicate.


The Doctor also told me I could move her to 1% milk.

We talked a great deal about Panda and Cheetah too. She is looking forward to meeting them once they are home.

And lastly

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHEETAH...She turns 7 tomorrow.

and

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Nephew C. His birthday is also tomorrow.

The 5th also marks the 3rd month in IBESR for Panda's paperwork. Another adoptive parent just heard the OUT news from IBESR and her number is relatively close to Pandas. Maybe soon, maybe not.

I think the shirts look great! They do have iron on flowers, hearts, butterflies...everything! I had a hard time at the store, I wanted to do it all. But they already look good, even if you don't add anything else.

It's awesome that Tuki is talking so much. My oldest bio son hardly said a word, then at 18 months he began speaking in complete sentences, literally overnight! And (I'm not just saying this) he is very, very intelligent. So I hope you are not worrying too much....

ISBER....can we even dream we might make it out by Christmas? Wow, it may be possible!!!!

Love the t-shirts, BUT I thought as there were 3 and none were Tuki, that you were annoucing another adoption! lol

Happy Birthday to Cheetah!!

What an incredible thought that you might get out of IBESR in only 3 months. And the t-shirts look wonderful.
