"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

Ve's 6 year birthday celebration



The family had a get together at my step-mom's -Grandma to the girls, for a New Year's Day celebration and also to celebrate Ve's birthday.
The three hooligans in front of Ve's cake. The colors-- orange and brown were Ve's request. It didn't turn out as well as I imagined, but she didn't mind.



Goofing around with Uncle W


The birthday girl

Mim does her own hair styles, and I must say she comes up with some pretty contemporary and classy looks.

Singing to Ve. She can hardly handle all the attention

Uncle W catching her as she is attempting to run in the other room to avoid all the eyes on her while we sing.

Opening presents

Lip gloss--obviously her favorite present!!
