Dec 21 - Dec 30

Dec 21 (Wed)

• Celebrating Jady's 5 year old birthday.  We got her a baby doll, and an ice cream cake as she wished!  I've got to upload the pictures to my laptop though.  Needless to say, she has been a sweet blessing to our lives and we love her dearly!

Dec 22 (Thur)

• All done with the job paper work and notarization.  It was an interesting experience since everything is done online and not like the traditional recruitment/interviewing process.   

Dec 23 (Fri)

• Went to visit a few church families.  It takes time and faith to serve others especially when it's not convenient or when you are running tired.

Dec 24 (Sat)

• Johnny and I went to CT for Hacken Lee's concert.  We drove to NY and catch the coach bus to CT.    It was fun, but very tiring since the concert starts at 2am and we didn't get home until 10:00am....  we took a shower right after we got home and then headed to church for the X'mas service.  

Dec 25 (Sun)

• We came back from church... had a good lunch (Christmas lunch with an Asian flare!), opened the gifts with the kids and took a nap.  
• Then, we went to Johnny's badminton friend for dinner.  This is the first time we ever met Lik and Christine.  They are very nice couple and so as the other couple, Angela and Mario. 

Dec 26 (Mon)

• Man... it was a long day.... we drove all the way to Gordansville, VA for a gathering with the Cheungs, Martins, and the Chois.  The drive itself was about 5 hrs, and then we hit traffic and got stuck for an additional two hours!  We did not get there until 8pm.  Well, at least we got hotpot for dinner that evening. 

Dec 27 (Tue)

• Didn't do much that day because it was raining outside... The adult and kids end up playing wii dance!  It was a good game and fun for everyone.     

Dec 28 (Wed)

• Took the kids out for a basketball game, frisbee, swimming and sauna.  The boys went for ping pong tournament and Evan and Christian got 2nd and 1st place in the younger group while Aaron got 2nd place among the adult contestant.  It was good!  The wives also had a facial and massage.  

Dec 29 (Thur) 

• Check out from the cabin, and thank goodness we didn't get much traffic driving home. 

Dec 30 (Fri)

• Johnny and I took Jady to the hematologist for a DDAVP challenge.  She is now confirmed Type 1 von willebrand patient and DDAVP respondent.  Nothing major except the time she needs a surgery or  tooth extraction.
