We're Still Here! Time Just Flys

I can't believe it's been almost two months since my last post. January - March are my busy times for work and this year is no exception. This is where my mom and dad get to see pictures of the kids so this post is all about them and what has happened since the first of January.



Nathan turned 8 years old in January. We decided to keep the birthday celebrations at home this year. He enjoyed a homemade cake, a few toys and his favorite a new Xbox game. I think this is the first year he was healthy on his birthday. A few of his favorite things from his seventh year include: Legos, Best Friend M, Boy Scouts, Xbox, Wii, DS (loves all kinds of video games), played flag football, started 2nd grade, still loves Parry and Pooh, amazes his mom at how smart and loving he can be.



It snowed for the first time in a year. Actually it was "Ice Snow" as Shayla decided to call it. The kids had to kick off the top layer to get a snow ball out of it but that didn't keep the fun away. They also missed a day of school which brought more excitement.




Nathan had his second grade performance. I can remember his kindergarten performance like it was yesterday. I can't believe he is 8 years old and half way done with second grade. The kids did a great job. I got there early and was very close to the front. Nathan was so excited to see me and kept looking over and smiling. I hope that innocence and love stays around for a few more years. It made my heart warm.




Shayla's school celebrated Chinese New Year - Year of the Tiger. She attends a language immersion school. It is very impressive to see all the kids have learned and what to expect in the coming grades. She is always chattering in Chinese now. Her school is amazing.

Hope to add more events tomorrow. We are all doing well and wish every one a Happy Valentines Day and Happy Chinese New Year!
