so here we are! almost the end of january 2010, and what do i have to show for it? two beautiful sons (both are now graciously sleeping through the night), a thoughtful and kind husband, and the comforts of living in this country.

i am heartbroken by the devastation in haiti, and my mind continuously flips back to the suffering there and makes it very difficult to tolerate all the griping here. we have it good people! i hope that everyone is giving to an organization to help in haiti, even if it's a few bucks, this country needs it more than any disaster stricken area i've known in my lifetime. charitywatch.org gives a great list of efficient and trustworthy charities that already have ties in haiti.

i took some pics of harebear yesterday, and if you notice, some are in a christmas getup... well, this was a gift from b-gah (my mom) that we didn't get until christmas day and it is just too cute to not get some use out of... and really who will remember in 10 years that it's a couple weeks late?
