Charity: 3 Months and Growing

I know I am slow in posting this stuff and I am sorry. Here are a couple of new shots of my sweet Charity. We got these shots at about her 3 month date. It is getting harder and harder to believe how old she is getting.

The puppies love her and Harley is getting more interested in her all the time. He and I sit in our recliner and try to make her laugh. Harley gets as big a kick out of it as I do.

Both her grandparents are excited to see her grow and it seems like we never have enough time to parade her around to all the family and friends.

Anyway you slice it here is a little more of our dear little girl

Earth Day is Coming

Earth Day is April 22nd 2008 and I am getting excited!

I am a huge fan of all things enviornmental.... well I guess I should't say that. The truth is that I am a fan of REAL solutions to REAL problems in the world. I think that by doing small things each day we can all contribute to a cleaner healthier enviornmwent.

My personal belief is that our world is our stewardship and part of the inhertance given to us by our father. As such he expects us to "play nice" and keep it as clean and beautiful as when he created it. Additionally, it is just so much nicer to live in cities and communities with more life and trees and are clean rather than full of garbage and grafitti. As such, it really just takes small and simple efforts from everyone to have impact. Plant a tree; switch to energy efficient light bulbs, start recycling your paper and plastics; you can even just stop throwing garbage in the streets and always find an approprate waste receptical. If we do more and more little things each year it will ultimately have a more positive impact.

Earth Day is still a few months away but now is a great time to start thinking about and planning activities that you can do for Earth Day to educate yourself and do more to help keep the world around us a little bit nicer.
