It is both encouraging and discouraging to see what is going on in MS. Encouraging in that you can see at least some progress being made everywhere, even the hardest hit areas. However, there is still a lot of red tape in the way apparently. The people have not seen the government grants yet. Zoning and building codes still have not been finalized in some places. I think I already mentioned being upset about the new casino in Lakeshore. The strip mall where the "New Waveland Cafe" had been located still hasn't been touched save for the bank out in the parking lot - one of the 2 reasons the Cafe had to shutdown Nov 30, 2005, was so the businesses could come back. But the people don't really complain - they just keep on keeping on.
Samuel turned 8 months while I was in Pearlington. Here he is 2 days after that milestone.
He's getting better at crawling and working himself upright. He's had pretty strong legs for some time so now he's working out the chest and arms to snag the chicks.
Who would have thought rice and veggies would make you so buff??? He's been packing those away pretty well when we bother to feed it to him. He's still mostly a breast baby. He's also had small tastes of nasty things like popsicles, ice cream and sherbet.
I bought 7 pounds of shrimp for $20 from one of the locals on the way to the airport before coming home, and we finished consuming that tonight. Yum! I sauted them with 5 different seasonings tonight for some variety.
Our church's yard sale began today and I'm happy to report we came home with far less than we took. Merrie got a few puzzles and books, I got some sandals and a digital scale, Sydney got some slippers and Samuel got pajamas and a riding horse like her brother used to have.
Merrie, Sydney and Samuel are walking in the Komen Race for a Cure Saturday. This past week we've been working on getting Samuel used to drinking from a sipper cup rather than a normal one. He was somewhat resistant at first but seems to be getting better at it now. We'll see how it works come race day.

I can't say I'm surprised by the red tape. Our government has never proved itself competent in chaos. But also I wonder how much the breakdown of normal society has messed with basic trust here, making everything harder.
