"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

In two days

it will be official, but as we did last year, we celebrated Tuki's 4th birthday along with cousin N's 5th birthday on Thanksgiving day.


The cake Tuki specially ordered. White cake with chocolate chips, pink frosting, princess crowns, candy and candles. I doubled the batch and made two cakes side by side for each of the girls. There were about 20 people there. I was pleased as to how well it turned out. The girls loved it too.




The girls right after I finished it.


Tuki staring the cake down at aunt M's, just waiting to dig in and eat, and then open presents.

eating a great meal prepared by my sister.



Girls standing in front of the cake while we are singing to them.

Post singing, and the cake princess crowns adorned upon two princesses.


Tuki, 4 years old and loving it.



Opening presents

Ve helping out. Mim had a bit of a hard time understanding all these presents going around without her included. Ve understood.



When she opened these dress up shoes, she immediately stated that she was going to share them with her sisters. I was so proud of her.
