My wife and I have a new baby at home. Mia. She will be 10 months old in a week or so. She is pleasant and smiles delightfully every morning as if she is so happy to be alive. What a joy to see her each day. In a word, she reminds me there is hope for the world. Of course, there is.

Two more new little fellows made their first appearance at Adventure World, an amusement park in Wakayama, Japan. The twin panda cubs were born to giant panda Rauhin. The female (left) was named Meihin, and the male (right) was named Eihin. They were born in September. Most of all, they help remind us there is always hope for the planet.
