"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

Weekend Update

HAPPY SOLSTICE!!!
the shortest day of the year and the official first day of winter


Yesterday I asked if Ve could be in Tuk's gymnastics's class to see if she could handle the structure. She was just fine. So now my dilemma is do I enroll both into another gymnastic class or let them try a Rookies basketball class starting in January. Tuks is a little young for both classes, but I have been given the OK to enter her. I may go with the basketball so they can get a feel for which sport they like better.

I also took Ve to church this morning and she spent the time in the nursery with Tuks. She loved it!!! I think I will let her stay in there for a few weeks and then try her in the kindergarten class at church.

Lastly, something that is WAY COOL!!! I was attending to Tuks in the bathroom, while Ve was singing and dancing (two things she does a lot during the day) in the next room. BUT then I realized the song she was singing was "ring a round the rosie" AND are you ready for this....IN ENGLISH!!! Home only 8 days and already singing a song in English. WHAT AN AMAZING KID!!!!!!!

The girls at class. Not too great of photos, but you get the idea!!! The class is for 3 - 5 year olds and look how much taller Ve is than the rest of them.
