"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

Happy Holidays






Dear friends,

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!

Cannot believe another year has flied by so quick, and more importantly, we survive with lot of work and very little sleep! For the past year, over all the boys have been listening and behaving well (oh well, more or less). We were lucky that both Yuelun's parents and my parents visited us, helped us out and spent some quality time with their grandchildren. Life has been wonderful!

Alvin is three and half now. He is still sweet, smart and loves music. He started to write letters and words by himself couple months back and he also loves to draw pictures. He joined a soccer team not long ago and enjoys it more than anyone else.

Mason is some one special. If you know Alvin well, Mason is just the complete opposite. If you ask him to "come", he would "go". If you say "No", he would just take it as a "Yes". The worst of all, he has that innocent smile on his chubby face and you know he is exempt from being punished.

Good or bad, Mom is now officially a soccer mom. But, between her new job in Georgetown and taking care of the boys, she still finds time to relax and remain her sanity.

Daddy has more bond with the boys now as he takes more responsibilities around the house. He often finds himself cleaning Mason's face twice and then finds out the spaghetti sauce is still on Alvin's face.

That is a good summary of our daily life. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. We wish you all a spectacular 2010!

Yuelun, Hope, Alvin and Mason
