Father and son team up for the plumbing job

在北美，很多东西都要DYI(Do It Yourself)。爸爸换厨房 Faucet ，Cobcob 在旁边帮忙。Cobcob 把自己的一套玩具工具也搬出来在旁边玩。为了安全起见，爸爸准备了两个boxes。爸爸的工具都放在一个箱子里，Cobcob 的玩具工具放在另一个箱子里。Cobcob 很清楚知道：“大人的工具，小孩子可以看而以，不可以碰”。

主耶稣，帮 Cobcob 找赛车包

就是这个赛车包(半年前拍的。)
赛车包留在这家餐厅

我们Christmas及新年其间去 Niagara Falls 住了两个晚上。最后一天晚上，我们到了一个游客很多的餐厅吃晚餐。爸爸不小心把 Cobcob 心爱的赛车包留在那里。隔天中午我们从 我们的旅店 Check Out 后，往多伦多的路上之前妈妈想要去 Factory Outlet 看看儿童衣服。

一下车，当Cobcob 要他的赛车包，我们才晓得他的赛车包留在餐厅了。当时爸爸、妈妈有点慌，也觉得很可惜，因为这是 Cobcob 这两年来每次出门都会带的赛车包。(里面都装着他喜欢的Snack & drink)

当妈妈正在推着 Cobcob Stroller 往我们车走；当爸爸正在想着回去餐厅的时间及路程的时候...

(爸爸、妈妈听到 Cobcob 的声音...)

主耶稣，为 Cobcob 祷告。Cobcob 的赛车包不见。帮 Cobcob 找赛车包。

(感谢主，赛车包终于找回来了。这是 Cobcob 两岁又八个月的祷告。)

耶稣便叫一个小孩子来、使他站在他们当中、说、我实在告诉你们、你们若不回转、变成小孩子的样式、断不得进天国。所以凡自己谦卑像这小孩子的、他在天国里就是最大的。凡为我的名、接待一个像这小孩子的、就是接待我。

马太福音 18章

Ice Storm

Ottawa 在 Boxing Day (Dec 26) 来了一个小的 Ice Storm。我们朋友家老树的一大截的树干断下来。我们家门前的小树也结了冰，幸好没太重断下来。我们家前的 Drive way 也变成溜冰场了。可怜的雪人也变成了冰人了。

Snowman in front of our house

Snow flake ZOOM IN:

这是我们家门前的雪人。爸爸、妈妈一起弄雪球，daycare 小朋友们一起 dress up 雪人。每次出门 Cobcob 都会跟雪人讲：“雪人，我们要出去了。雪人拜拜”。每次回来 Cobcob 都会跟雪人讲：“雪人，我们回家了”。

Christmas Puppet

圣诞节，爸爸给Cobcob讲圣诞节的故事。

Cobcob的祷告事项

爸爸(有时妈妈)每天晚上睡觉前都讲故事给Cobcob听，然后一起做睡觉前的祷告。爸爸都会问Cobcob今晚要为谁祷告。爸爸非常Surprise Cobcob今天的祷告事项：

"为没有去教会的小朋友祷告"

以下是Cobcob过去两周的祷告事项：
为妈妈祷告。妈妈的血不好吃。(解释)

为家毅阿姨生病祷告
为宝宝妈妈肚子里的baby祷告
为谦谦哥哥祷告，让谦谦哥哥可以开心
为没有钱买玩具的小朋友祷告

We are really thankful for Cobcob's compassionate heart. We pray that God will continue to give us wisdom to guide Cobcob in the ways of righteousness.

Cobcob and mama's reflection in Christmas ornament

Cobcob's spiritual conversation

(Cobcob已经有两本儿童圣经了，爸爸最近又买了一本3-4岁的儿童圣经给他。这几天，爸爸都是用这本新的圣经讲故事给他听。今天早上，妈妈听到他很骄傲的告诉他的朋友小鸟...)
鸟鸟，我有新的圣经呢！

(妈妈最近验血报告有一个成分偏低，我们吃晚餐的时候为妈妈祷告。晚上睡觉前爸爸照常讲故事给Cobcob听，然后一起做睡觉前的祷告。爸爸也照常的问Cobcob要为谁祷告...)
我要为妈妈祷告。妈妈的血不好吃。

(Cobcob邀请他的小朋友去教会...)
鸟鸟，你要去我们教会吗？那里有好多玩具玩呢！

(几乎每个星期天早上去教会的路上...)

爸爸、妈妈去崇拜，Cobcob跟小朋友在楼上玩。

(Cobcob 和Yaya 在basement的玩具厨房玩做饭吃饭...)

食物都摆好后，Cobcob就跟Yaya说：“Yaya，我们还没祷告呢”，Yaya说“好，我们祷告吧”。
两人就开始祷告：“主耶稣，谢谢你，给我们饭饭，菜菜，肉肉吃，Amen”。
两人祷告后，Yaya就对Cobcob说：“Cobcob，我已经祷告了”，Cobcob则回答说：“好吧，我们可以吃饭了。”

Cobcob看Hockey Games

上个月爸爸给妈妈和Cobcob一个Surprise。带他们去看Ottawa 67's 的Hockey Game。自从那天之后，Cobcob就爱上了加拿大人的SPORT－－HOCKEY。现在每天都在家里玩Hockey，拿着小孩子的Hockey Stick打来打去。

今晚爸爸带Cobcob去看Senators的Hockey。今晚一共有19,865人现场观看这场Hockey Game。唉！我们支持的队Senators输了。Anyway, we were having a great night.

Merry Christmas 2009 & Happy New Year 2010

一年又过去了。感谢神在2009年的看顾及保守。

We remember our :
Down time: 三月份外公去世；四、五月份妈妈daycare生意没小孩；十一月份亲戚大舅公去世。
Up time: 全年有上帝的祝福；冬天滑雪；夏天Campings；七月份妈妈daycare加上Cobcob有五个小孩子。爸爸有工作做。

Christmas Tree

Movie: Christmas Shoes

今天是星期六，爸爸本来是早上要带Cobcob去做"Bob the Builder" Project，中午要去Museum of Nature，晚上要带Cobcob去看"Singing Christmas Tree"的圣诞演出。但后来爸爸感冒了，我们只做了"Bob the Builder" Project就回家了。Cobcob钉了玩具小拖车。

感谢上帝让爸爸生病，可以留在家里休息，把生活节奏缓慢下来。晚上，爸爸、妈妈一起看电视上播放的电影"Christmas Shoes"，电影非常感人，值得一看。

It was almost Christmas time
There I stood in another line
Trying to buy that last gift or two
Not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me
Was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing around like little boys do
And in his hands he held
A pair of shoes

And his clothes were worn and old
He was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say

Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my Momma please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry Sir?
Daddy says there's not much time
You see, she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful
If Momma meets Jesus, tonight.

He counted pennies for what seem like years
And cashier says son there's not enough here
He searched his pockets franticly
And he turned and he looked at me
He said Momma made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir
What am I gonna do?
Some how I’ve got to buy her these Christmas shoes

So I layed the money down
I just had to help him out
And I'll never forget
The look on his face
When he said Momma's gonna look so great.

Sir I wanna buy these shoes, for my Momma please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry Sir?
Daddy says there's not much time
You see, she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful,
If Momma meets Jesus tonight.

I knew I caught a glimpse of heavens love as he thanked me and ran out.
I know that God had sent that little boy to remind me
What Christmas is all about

Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my Momma please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry Sir?
Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful
If Momma meets Jesus tonight

I want her to look beautiful
If Momma meets Jesus tonight

最美的礼物

Cobcob 的好朋友Yaya

Cobcob 最好的朋友是 Yaya。在我们家里Daycare，每次五个小朋友一起吃snack时，他们俩总是坐在一起。去公园时妈妈推着小车(鹏鹏弟弟)、拉着绳子带着四个小朋友，两个两个牵着绳子走，Cobcob旁边那位一定是Yaya。

妈妈注意了好几次：当有其他小朋友把玩具从Yaya手中取走，Cobcob就会赶快跟那位小朋友说“这是Yaya玩的”，然后把玩具要回来还给Yaya。

Cobcob最近爱上了Hockey。四个小朋友中只有Yaya肯陪Cobcob玩Hockey。难怪他们会是好朋友。

几天前，Cobcob把玩具弄坏，妈妈严立的跟Cobcob说“妈妈生气！”，之后就把玩具拿走修玩具去了。之后妈妈听到以下这一段对话。爸爸觉得很好玩，把他记下来。

Cobcob跑去跟Yaya说：“她生气我，她不理我了”，Yaya就安慰他说：“没有啦，Doreen阿姨没有生气你，她在忙。”

From this moment

Prayed in 1996, and God answered in 2002. It is truly a blessing one.

Lyrics:

From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on

From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on

I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on

You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give

From this moment
I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on

Tiny little pumkin

加拿大的十月份是南瓜的季节。妈妈买了一袋的小南瓜给小朋友们玩。

我们又跑去树林喂鸟了

我们又跑去树林喂鸟了。这次，我们邀请谦谦哥哥一起去。

我们第三次去喂鸟时，Cobcob才敢让小鸟停在他手上吃鸟食。Cobcob之后一直很骄傲的告诉人说：Cobcob会自己喂小鸟了。

School Bus

Cobcob喜欢School Bus。我们去Montreal玩时爸爸给Cobcob买了一辆School Bus。这是一个星期天早上，爸爸送妈妈去诗班练歌后带着Cobcob去7-Eleven买电话卡路上，Cobcob见到School Bus，爸爸停车给Cobcob下来看School Bus。
