"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 Fun Weekend

Alvin enjoyed the weekend at sister Eileen and brother Alex's house. Helen's grandma prepared dumplings and beef jelly and Alvin just loved them! Uncle Zhengdong had tasty cookout but Alvin couldn't chew on the meat yet because his teeth just came out the white tops. Eileen (now 4), Helen (3 and half) and Alex (2 and half) just love baby Alvin and they felt they are big kids when they were with Alvin!

See, Alvin is in the center of 2 young ladies!

Alvin shows how much he loves the swing!
Helen is patient enough to play seesaw with Alvin. How sweet she is! Big Kisses!

I have some exclusive pictures - only for you.


Who said I am slim? I might not have big fat waistline, but I have chubby face and round belly.

Appreciation Week

This week is Teacher's Appreciation Week. Alvin dropped off a note to his teachers:

I was once …

I was once a very unhappy baby at the center,
Crying all the time and eating just a little,
It was you,
Helping me to adjust to the new place.

I was once a very naughty baby,
Peeing on you and pooing all over,
It was you,
Teaching me to save the best at home and aim only at daddy.

I was once a very lonely baby,
Spoiled only by mommy and daddy,
It was you,
Introducing me to new friends,
Giving me all the nutrition, attentions and loves I need.

So, for this special week,
I want you to know how special you are to me.
With all my bright smiles, I wish you a wonderful week.
