"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

V Day Special

Alvin had a bitter and sweet Valentine's Day.

From day one in the daycare, the babies have been taught to share toys with others but keep the germs within self. However, these naughties fight for the toys endlessly and share germs unconditionally. This time around, they shared the same symptoms - running nose, coughs and ear infection. So, for Valentine's Day, for the bitter part, Alvin has to take his antibiotics. But, for the sweet part, Mom made a special cake for him and Daddy.

This fruitcake is specially made without eggs and low in sugar and decorated with strawberry whipping cream and raspberries. Although it is hard work, it is worth spending the time for mom's two favor boys. Next time, mom will make a 3 layers for her 3 boys!
