The Friday before Thanksgiving, the childcare center hosted a luncheon. They invited the parents and/or relatives to join the kids for lunch. The center prepared lunch for the adults too. When Ashlyn saw me walked in, she was estatic. She immediately showed me around with pictures of hers and her artworks. [...]
Happy Thanksgiving!
We just had our Thanksgiving dinner. Unlike the past few years, we didn’t have turkey tonight. We had Chinese hot pot. We made a special trip to a Japanese grocery store this morning, to buy hot pot beef. The grocery store just remodeled, and today was the first day of [...]
Earlier this month, we attended Belle’s birthday party at the Children’s Discovery Museum. I have heard quite some good things about the museum. It was our first time, both dear hubby and myself. It’s such an education place for both the kids and the adults.
Ashlyn and Alex had so [...]
Dear hubby is building a new, additional computer system for the new home. Well, the kids are very demanding and multi-tasking. They can watch TV and play computer games at the same time. I have been seriously thinking I should get a laptop all for myself. With two PC’s, still not [...]

Ashlyn: Mama, when we move, can you ask Baba to put a small sink in the bathroom for me?
Alex: Yeah, a small sink.
Mama: A small sink?
Ashlyn: Yeah, like this much tall *gesturing with [...]
I have been blogging online for awhile now. Through the cyber space, I am able to keep in touch with my friends and relatives who live overseas. They can also get updated information on the growth of Ashlyn and Alex. Nowadays you can get any information online. Shopping, sending money domestically [...]
Ashlyn and Alex are in the “pretend” stage. Sometimes, they pretend they are mama and baba. They would put the pillows together and pretend they were riding motor cycles. Ashlyn would bring a note pad and pen and pretend she was a waitress taking orders for us. Obviously, she would bring [...]
Every once in awhile, I would browse online to find deal on SLR digital cameras. I have been trying to find good deals, and I stumbled upon Nikon binoculars, that reminded me the first time I “played” with my Grandpa’s long time ago, which he used them when he watched horse racing at the [...]
