WHOAAA. What a crazy awesome family you have, Vanessa! I got to say, what a multi-racial family you have! I can relate, my family is all sorts of ethnic groups!
And V, you got some FIERCE EYES.
HAPPY NEW YEARS, EVERYONE!

Hah, KD, that's funny, my daughter in law, (or rather soon to be EX daughter in law now) always laughed & said her kids were a world coalition. They are just 3/4 mixed hispanic & the other 1/4 whatever the hell I am. My mom used to call us Heinz 57 Variety, we are Native American, Swedish, Scottish, Irish, English, & a little French. So, we all look very diverse for sure. I love them kids, they are unbelievably nutty like me, which is cool. When we went to the Texas Renfest this year, it was the Scottish Highland Fling weekend, so my son dressed in his "MexiKilt" & we were the "McPerez" clan, because my married name is Perez & my maiden name is McGill. So, there you have it. ;D

Wowww, that's so cool! My family is a mixed of all sorts of things - I have parts Italian, parts German, parts Polish, Slavic, Indonesian, Chinese, Israeli, Russian, and Mongolian.
I think that's why I have blue-green-brown eyes (in that order in concentric circles). I myself am only Chinese, however, although I'm tootin' sure that I'm more than Chinese. My grandma has blue eyes (looks pure chinese though) and my dad has green.

Hi guys. Ive been getting lots of msg's on fb from old jw friends enquiring about my safety. You may or may not have seen on international news that my country is going thriugh one of the worst disasters we have seen in our living memory. Whats worse is its happening in my town. On monday my home town (toowoomba) experienced what they are calling an inland tsunami which is basically a freak flash flood. Where i work and walk everyday has been devastated and lots of people have died and many still missing. Luckiy i wasnt at work that day (two girls i work with lost their cars, thankgod mine wasnt there) im actually in in Brisbane so i was safe from that. Now brisbane is also flooding. The levels should peak overnight. Where i am we are safe but we were evacuated from my mums house and are now with family where we should be fine. Waiting game now. Google some footage, type in toowoomba flashflood and the footage is frightening. Especially considering it is right where i go every single day. Anyway ill keep in touch but wanted u to all know im safe. this video has had 15million hits in 2 days and is probably the best to see how destructive it was www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYUpkPTcqPY&sns=emPlease spare a thought for those killed and those still missing from being swept away. The stories are those from nightmares

Thank you so much for checking in, Sam. The videos and pictures that I've seen online and on the news have been absolutely horrifying.
I am so, so glad you're safe. My thoughts are with you and your family and friends as you wait for the water in Brisbane. I know that things are incredibly chaotic for you; you're amazing to give us an update in the middle of it all. Just hearing from you is comforting to all of us who are worried about you.
Stay safe, and I know I speak for all of us when I wish you the best possible outcome after the waters peak. Lots of hugs...
