"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

Happy Valentines Day


This photo captures the girls from last night, crashing and burning after their sugar high. LOL

Last night was fun to watch, that is until the sugar high kicked in. Both girls came home from their school with much sugar to bear from their Valentine's day parties. I can't even imagine Ve's perspective on this. Tons of candy in a little container. How glorious the USA must look to her sometimes.

This morning we had to forgo the girl's gymnastic class because we met with our tax accountant. We will be receiving the full refund back again this year and he figures we will continue for the next two or three years. That is good news since I am still working down the debt incurred from all three girl's adoption processes.


Once we came home, after lunch Ve jumped into the sun spot created by our southern window. She loves this place for obvious reasons.


I love the casualness of this photo. Ve is playing with the Sesame Street Alphabet bus game with her bud Hubble. She practices her letters just for fun now.

She and Tuks can also recognize and easily count items up to 10. Actually Ve can count items higher, but I am glad both can count and recognize the numbers.

We played Candy land this morning after a short hiatus and I must say both understand and play the game so much better.


Tuks jamming on her Guitaarrr.


Ve singing her alphabets.

On Monday we are having Parent/teacher conferences at my school, and in between conferences I will run over to Ve's school and have a conference with her teacher.

As for the rest of the weekend, the weather is suppose to be nice, especially for February, so hopefully in addition to church and bible study on Sunday, we will also get outside for some fun in the sun.

Have a Happy Valentines Day weekend everyone!!!
