"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

Christmas break--so far

December 25th,

Christmas night at Aunt M's & Uncle J's


Mim enjoying her hand-made scarf and new book

Ve enjoying herself opening even MORE presents

Tuks at her pile of new presents

Evening of the 26th we visited with family at my brother's house and stayed late--no pictures

Then on December 27th, we visited with friend B, her two kids, and friend W and one of her sons. All the kids enjoyed swimming together.

Tuki swimming

The whole kid crew in the pool

Later in the day, after a lunch of soup and crackers, We took the kids sledding down the local hill. Mim's first time and she loved it.

Mim in front, Ve in back heading down the hill

Mim getting ready for another trip down

The girl crew, Ve, L, Tuki and Mim...the 2 boys stayed far away from the girls, I wonder why?!?! LOL

Ve heading up the hill carrying her sled Haitian style

L very patiently sledding with Tuki, and walking her back up the hill.

Friend B and her two L & B, stayed over night. We played a few games and the kids had a camp out in the living room. They loved it. For being overly tired, I think the kids did pretty well for a busy day.



Today, the 28th, B and kids left for home this morning, and WE doing work around the house and taking the girls hair down. I think I will straighten their hair tomorrow. It's time since Ve's hair is getting so long, and she is so tender-headed and REFUSES to get it cut. Mim wants it straight too.
