Trick-or-treating 2011

Too bad that this year Halloween falls on a Monday. We didn't get to party like the previous years. We still managed to go trick-or-treating with couple of Haley's friends. Chester fell asleep on daddy's arms after we went by couple houses. Anson was excited to run to each door, ring the door bell, and wait for the yummy candies. Haley was a little reserved, she softly whispered trick-or-treat, and handed her bucket to the homeowner for candies. Joshua was very generous, he passed out his candies to everyone in between houses. As soon as we get home, Haley took all the candies from Chester's bucket and put into hers. She said Chester doesn't have teeth yet, so she will help to finish them. Ha Ha!

Happy BIG ONE birthday - Chester!

Birthday party @ the park 2011

Praise the Lord for giving us a beautiful day for our party. Haley is turning 3 and Chester is 1. This year went by so fast...we didn't know how we get by everyday. Having two kids is a total different experience, double the workload, double the headache, yet we are having countless joy and love. Thank you for our family and friends for their support over the year. Their presence to the party is the best gift.

Bible verse

Haley said to me today:

"God created the heaven and the earth." I was surprised that Haley actually memorized the bible verse that we learned from the Cubbies Awana Club. In fact, she got her first book award for her Cubbies Club vest. She was so excited holding the first patch when I picked her up from class.

Haley's first on-stage experience

It's been three weeks since Haley's dance school year begins. Ms. Joanne hosted part of the performance at the Science in the Park event in Union City. Haley is in the youngest group. Her group doesn't have any formal rehearsal or customized dancing outfit, but she gets to expose to performing in front of a big crowd.Getting ready to get on the stage
I am proud of her that she didn't have stage fight, and danced beautifully. When I saw her dance on the stage, I was touched and my tears were about to fall out. I gave her a big praise for performing, a big hug & kiss after she got off the stage. She said she had fun dancing today!Here is part of the audience. Can you spot papa, 公公 and Chester?
