i know , i know i seem to post to my blogs in spurts. lol. just a few pics from the past week or so!

all of the hurricane aftermath is so devastating. i cant really stand to watch the footage on tv, but i cant stand not too. so depressing, so heartbreaking, so unbelievable. my heart breaks for these people. i just cant imagine. what are all these people going to do? no homes, no jobs, no food , no clothes, nothing. still, daily i see survivors on the news saying how blessed they feel just to be alive! i was watching some news coverage last night of recovery efforts. the rescue team was taking the boat down the street when they heard someone crying out. it was an elderly lady trapped at the top floor of her house. when, they went over to her, she said "come back for me tomorrow, there are women with children in the house next door, get them first". what an affirmation of human kindness and sacrifice! last night, when i went to bed, i had such a h ard time sleeping. just remmebering all the news coverage i had seen over the past few days. thinking of how i get to go to sleep in a nice, dry, safe place when others are far from being as fortunate. SBB/www.scrapbook-bytes.com (as well as other scrapbooking sites) are offering things that you can buy with the proceeds going to relief funds. i am contributing on that project as well as donating elsewhere. but, with the mass effort needed and the mass amount of dispair, it just seems like its not enough. i want to do more. i am praying constantly, which is all i can do at the moment. so so heartbreaking. there is a shelter (the victory house) very near us that some refugees have started bringing brought too. we will take some items there. not to go out on a tangent, but why is it taking the goverment so long to get everyone out of there?? i guess i am just very fustrated. my feelings are minimal though to what those directly effected are actually feeling. Lord please bring some help to these people! on a good note, my uncle had been missing/ not heard from since the hurricane blew through. this morning, he has finally been located! he is not in a hosptial as we had heard earlier, but it seems that his house has been serverely damaged. thinking of all of these events from a purely selfish point of view, it is a wakeup call to me to stop sitting around and to live my life! some arent as blessed to have that oppurtunity!

try no 2 at the lady bug pics

trying out a new action. midnight gold. i feel so bad, havent posted in my blog in forever , then stop by to post one stinkin pic which is just like one (minus the action) that i have posted before! i have been soooo busy though! which is actually good!!! lol!

when kenzie woke up from her mid morning nap she was in such a great mood! cheesing, smiling, wanting to play! so , me, i thought, let me go grab those lady bug wings i bought. i put them on her real quick (before her mood changed). at first she was very cooperative. but soon, she decided that she wanted to chew on the wings, play with the wings, hide under the wings, roll over to her back with the wings! poor child! these are pretty grainy , they were taken in our bedroom where the light is very minimal.

i like it under here. she loves the color red by the way. just like her mama! lol! thats my favorite color!
