At last, a free moment to catch up and to update to all my friends, followers and family on what's been going on. Happy belated Chinese New Year's. Welcome and hello to the Year of the Snake. On the eve of Chinese New Year's, after the kids regular dance/soccer, piano and Kumon, we went to the local temple, to say prayers and well wishes for a healthy, peaceful, prosperous and happy new 2013 year. I lighted some incense while the kids played and said some prayers themselves. I prayed hard and thank the great Gods from above for watching over me and keeping me and my family safe.
Since the start of the 2013 year, I'm just getting busier and busier with life, work, kids, and keeping up with everything. Yesterday, we celebrated my beautiful daughter, Ellen's turning 5th Birthday bash with lots of family, friends and kids. It was a wonderful, big party. Truly magical. We had Ellen dressed up in her fairy Rapunzel dress, wearing her Princess Birthday crown and sash. We had a friend jump start her party with an amazing Chinese lion dance, blessing us and the kids for continued healthy, happy year. For all the kids enjoyment, we had face painting, a magician, a combo slide huge castle princess themed jumper, pinata, and a beautiful, delicious Cinderella cake, and lots of laughter and fun. Thanks everyone, for celebrating Ellen's Birthday with us. Here's to creating more amazing , precious memories.
Health Update:
Just 2 weeks ago, I went to see Dr. N at Stanford and all labs turned out great! I had a scan about a month ago and the results came showed great news. I'm so happy for the positive results. I'll have another brain MRI scan this coming week and follow appointment this Wed with the Neurosurgeon, Dr. C to find the results. Aaurgh, another anxious day again. Hoping for good news.
Kids activities
Outside of work and doctor appointments, life as a mom of three kids keeps us really, really busy. With three kids going to 3 separate schools, I squeeze every ounce of time and energy, and cherish all the moments of being their for them; to celebrate with them and to be apart of their lives in every way I can. Right before work to right after work, I nurture, teach and instill in them all the life lessons to be successful adults. I tell them about working hard towards the things they like and to start thinking about the value of spending. I coach them to have good manners, and to tell to them all them the values towards working hard in school and in life.
Daily, I nurture to each of their own likes, discoveries, talents and love of art, music and sports and or recreational activities. I work hard at keeping their lives, routines and joys as normal and as joyful as can be. From swimming to soccer, to baseball/TBall, to piano, hip hop dance, ballet/jazz dance classes, and to academic studies, they keep me busy. More to share on Ellen and Ethan's fantastic start of their little league baseball later.
Letter to Ellen - Happy 5th Birthday! You are so Precious and loved
Happy Birthday sweetheart. Ellen, you are getting so smart and more beautiful. I can't believe you are 5 years old already when it was just like yesterday when I held you as a baby in my arms. Over the last 4 years, you've grown so smart, witted and talented with dancing, singing, reading and being so funny with your great sense of humor. You bring laughter and joy to the world with your jokes, comments and fun personality. Just last months, you kept insisting you wanted to learn the piano, you started your first piano lesson and loved it and so lessons soon, it will be coming your way. You proudly showed off your talent to the world through singing, dancing, lip syncing to song lyrics, all the while picking all your favorite songs to sing from.Mommy's Ipad. At age 3, you loved eating lots of food, even Burger King's whopper and now, you still do, but less as we don't eat fast food much. At age 4, you know what it means to eat healthy and even telling us to pack you "healthy" snacks.
You love going to preschool as soon as you turned 3 and didn't even cry on your first day. Through your auntie Karen, Mommy wrote into a local Montessori preschool scholarship entry and you were granted the wonderful gift of learning. A little shy at first since you have a very cautious, careful attitude, you've grown infinitely smarter and know exactly how to pick out your clothes, dresses to match your outfits as well as tell stories. You love to use your imagination and make up stories and play pretend with your brother, Ethan and baby sister, Emma.
Now, in a "Kinder ready" class, where you go 5 days per week, you are so delighted to make friends and deepen your "forever friends" friendship bonds with the girls from your preschool, dance class, and recently, your Tball, "Sweet Heat" all girls softball team.
You've passed your recent Kumon reading and math tests, scoring 90% and finished in it 8 out of 10 minutes. Even before starting Kindergarten, you know your sight words and are beginning to do addition. You've even started to love to play sports as well in addition to your love of dance, music and arts.
This 5th Birthday, you happily wore your Princess Birthday crown and sash all day, proudly soaking in the spotlight of your exciting day! Happy 5th Birthday Ellen, you will always be Mommy's princess. We love you so much and will always be there for you.
