"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

Pre-Christmas Activities

Last week Tuesday, I had a training after school, so our good friend Kiki came over to watch the girls. Kiki utilized Ve's great hair braiding skills in re-braiding his beard. He said it takes him two hours to do it, while it probably took Ve, at tops 15 minutes from comb out to braiding...She did a great job and was real focused at it too.




see her focus

Kiki enjoying it too


Then mid-week Ve and Mim had their Christmas concerts.

Ve after her class sang 4 songs. She did a wonderful job.


Mim coming in for her classes part. She sang and played the recorder, not bad for 5 weeks home.

Both girls, in a "I don't want to pose, after the concert in front of my friends pose" As you can tell, I was the embarrassing Mommy anyway and had them pose....notice the joy in their eyes. NOT!! LOL

Then on Friday, Tuki's Dance Recital

Mim enjoying the dance performances


Tuki tap dancing to "Rock around the Christmas tree"

I think she did a great job too, but she says that she wants to go back to gymnastics.....Kids!!!
