The Twins

Josie is old enough that she gets dressed on her own. We just tell her to get dressed and she does it all by herself. Her sense of style is coming out. Sometimes she uses the most unusual combination - but it's her style. Her most recent favorite color is purple. In second place we have pink.
For some reason today she chose white... and found a jean skirt...
I put out a white shirt and jeans for Jevin and went downstairs to pack his school bag... Jason called out for me to bring the camera upstairs... and when I did... I saw this! You'd think we planned it... but we didn't. It was all JOSIE!

Father's Day


Jevin's first experience with crayons... Nearly ate them. I've heard enough stories about rainbow poo to be very watchful when he was "coloring".

We opted for a Saturday Father's Day dinner. Chili's was the place. We all had a great dinner... And surprisingly, the waitress remembered us from when we had gone there with Ron and Terry. She even remembered the ribs we ordered that time. Hahaha.

Night Market




This was Jevin's first experience on a night market ride. He thought it was great! And Josie was so excited to share her train with her brother.

I-Lan and Charles' Show









On Saturday, June 13, all the pieces of the puzzle came together quite nicely allowing Jason and Josie to go to Ilan to visit Charles for his show.

School day

On June 6th our school had a Field Day. The kids all set up booths and sold games, drinks, food, etc.... Basically it is a day of fun for the kids with the hidden purpose of allowing the classes to raise money for the needs of the class. Photocopying in school is not a free thing here. Each class pays for each copy of each paper they use. And there are other costs that each class incurs.

Here the 501 class was having a water balloon challenge. What teacher could pass up the opportunity to throw water balloons at her students? What students could pass up the opportunity to have their classmate hit with a water balloon by their teacher?
It's a pity Jims is such a good student. I almost felt bad.... almost. And the stupid balloons wouldn't break. They just bounced off of him. I took to throwing the balloons on the ground so at least his legs would get splashed.
Here my 505 class is trying to help Josie throw balloons at them. Once again, the balloons kept bouncing off them. They kept moving closer so she could hit them.

Ahhh, yes, arguably the best game. One should hit the head of the student popping up. Josie was a little nervous that she would hurt one of them. HAhahahahah... That passed!
Now... count the cell phones taking pictures.
And see the head popping up to take a picture of Josie before she gets slammed?
My student, my neighbor - Emily Ke.

Breakfast joys... Need I say more?




Play Day

May 30
A week after Josie's hospital visit, everyone was fine... All was good... But, alas it couldn't stay that way. Jason got sick. He got REALLY sick. He got so sick that he went to ER. He had a terrible migraine. And after returning home it turned into something worse. Basically, when he went to the doctor across the street, he was told that he had caught what Josie had.

Below are pictures from our "let-daddy-sleep" park trip. After, we went to see Jean, Andy and Roy... and came home with some rice dumplings just in time for Dragon Boat festival.Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedom!!!
It was hard to take the picture by myself, while keeping Jevin on the horse.

Jevin Fall Down Go BOOM!

Friday, May 22
Well, our little boy has joined the ranks with his sister. Eleven stitches! He was running outside and fell down. He slowed his fall with park bench. This all happened outside in the playground at school. They called Jason and rushed Jevin to the doctor; the same doctor that they took Josie to. Apparently he is a plastic surgeon and well known for his amazingly little stitches and his apparent ability to reduce the scarring.
The school was scared that we could sue them. I guess it is quite common for parents to sue the schools when accidents like this occur. The way we see it, is that this could have happened at a park. At least he was in a place where they spoke Chinese and were able to get him to the hospital ASAP.
