Rachel's piano recital at Morris Hill Center

Dec 19, 2009

This year ShinWen had her students recital at Morris Hill Center. It was a good idea to show our care to those seniors.

Fashion Show

Dec 16, 2009

It has been so cold as low as 30 degree since last week. Kylie and I were basically home all day without even going out for a walk. We both enjoy outside walking for a chace to get a fresh air. Well, I got an idea to have a fashion show for her. Oh boy, it was very hard to take pictures at the same time to make her laugh. When I had everything all set she started changing faces or rolled away. By the time I finished I was all sweat and exhausted.

Who is in the laundry basket?

Our new basement

This is our new basement. It has become a great play room for everyone.

Rachel's Winter Concert

Dec 9, 2009

Rachel's first winter concert at Troy Hills. Doris came to pick me up so I didn't have to worry about parking or raining issues. Rachel is learning clarinet but I am hardly hearing her practice at home. The music education is important through out the life time and I like what school has provided for kids so they have opportunity to learn instrument or sing together.

Christmas is coming

Dec 9, 2009
I have finally done with my Christmas shopping and have the tree and decoration setup inside and outside the house. Kylie is ready for her first Christmas.

High chair

Dec 7, 2009
Kylie got a new toy - high chair. She is going to have meal at the same place. The funny thing was when we tried to put her on the first time, she refused to seat on it by twix her body. She seemed to know that it was not a fun place to be with. Kylie is on solid food at least twice a day. She didn't like poriage that much and no matter what was inside. Since I have made some dumplings, I cooked one for her and had her try it. She ate the whole piece. I had her try the second day, third, forth...., she liked dumplings. Ok, I think I am going to skip baby food from now on and provide her food that we usually have. Gee, she wants to grow up fast.

Kylie loves water

Nov 18, 2009
Kylie loves to take a bath. She always plays with water by kicking her two legs or hands. She doesn't seem to be tired of doing it. Rachel and Alex will sometimes fight for who gets a chance to take a bath with Kylie. They are also enjoying watching her play in the water. Soon I will take her to the pool.

3 birthday babies

Nov 7, 2009

We had a dumpling party in my house. I had fun of making dumplings with whole bunch talented women. Too bad no one took pictures of the busy scene. It was Amy's 40 year-old birthday. Serina and I were born in the same day so we celebrated it with Amy. It is a new milestone to be a 40ner. Like me, had a new baby. Hope it comes slow to get to 50s.

My birthday

Oct 31, 2009
It was Halloween and also my birthday celebration day. Everybody was waiting for me to cut the cake. Spencer cooked some delicious dinner for us so I had hardly any room left for desert. Kylie tried her first little bite of cake which was given by uncle. She loved it and tried to ask for more. It was a raining day but it didn't stop kids coming out to ask for candies. Our door bell finally stopped ringing around 9:00pm.
