"A successful man is someone who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much, who has gained the respect of others and the love of children; who leaves the world better than he found it; who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty ; who always looked for the best in others and gave the best he had. "
- a variation of "Success" by Ralph Waldo Emerson

A long battle

Alvin finally is getting over his long battle against a cold after 3 weeks (crossing our fingers)! It was the first time Alvin got sick and the parents didn't expect that the cold came with many other complications. The good news is that Alvin's immune system has boosted. The bad news is (sigh...), he has lost some weight over the period. From all indications, Alvin can only be a lightweight boxer in the future.

Since Alvin needed some fresh air, Mom took him to Germantown's Adventure Playground. Alvin was joined by his baby buddy Ben and his loving and caring sister Bella.


There is a saying in Chinese, "One mountain cannot hold two tigers." That is what happened when we have three.

And, Alvin feels good when he is alone...



And, it is even better if he is with his mom...
