Vaccines.

This is my vent. You have been warned.

I believe in vaccines. I believe they have been put on this earth at this time for a reason. I believe they save peoples lives every single day. I DON'T believe that they CAUSE autism. I think it is something to do with your genes. Do they scare me....a little. Do I hate putting my kids through the pain. Yes. Do I do it still because I know the benefits hugely outweighs the risk YES. Do I believe that those of us who vaccinate our children and ourselves form a wall of armor from HORRIBLE diseases around our society. ABSOLUTELY.

Why this venting session?? A friend of my friend (be prepared to cry your eyes out) just lost her darling tiny newborn from pertussis. Whooping cough. A disease that was GONE from our country. GONE! until this STUPID false study about the MMR came out and people stopped vaccinating their children. This tiny precious baby is gone, and a mother is devastated and heartbroken because someone decided to listen to the FALSE study and not to their pediatrician, doctors, hospitals, etc..... listen to your doctors. Not to "experts" like Jenny Mccarthy. I mean Seriously.

Will my kids be that weak link in the armor...absolutely not.

2 new, one old

These are my new favorite things I love this lamp.(doest that remind you of Anchor Man? I love lamp) It is perfect in Lily's room, since they are in fact Lily's.

Then there are these butterflies hanging from her ceiling. Aren't they lovely? I think so. So does she.

And now for the old. This chair came out of the old Manila white church that my brother in law now owns. The Church was built in the late 1800's, and the chair is more then likely the same age. I love it. I sometimes like to think about all the people who have sat in this chair over the years, and wonder what their lives were like, in a more simple, slower pace of life. I envy them for it. I wish we could slow down, take one day at a time, and enjoy the simple things in life.
