2012 Mother's Day

Celebrating Mother's Day at Panda Buffet Restaurant. We originally planned to have our dinner at the Taste of Japan, but it didn't open when we went there that evening. So, we went for our plan B.



@Home.  Jacob sang "A Mom like You" to honor his mom.

A Mom Like You

God made you special
He made you just for me
He gave to you a heart so true
To love me faithfully

So all my life I'll honor you
And thank the Lord above
For giving me a mom like you
To cherish and to love

怀念敬爱的李恩至伯伯

怀念敬爱的李伯伯：
李伯伯实在给我看见一个忠心爱主服事者的好榜样。11年前第一次教主日学是李伯伯带着我。他是主教，我是他的助教，让我有机会在他身上慢慢的学习。记得当了好几年的组长的我觉得好累，听到当时快要到八十岁的李伯伯说他只想当组长，激励了我对主服事的态度。李伯伯知道我有背疼，两次邀请我到他家帮我按摩，而且帮我买按摩器及按摩膏。李伯伯不仅教导我要爱弟兄、更以身作则教导我如何去爱我们的弟兄。

虽然李伯伯到天国，我们将永远怀念他，直到那天我们在天国再相见。

2012: Bridlewood Soccer team

Jacob loved his first soccer practice from our neighborhood this evening. Guess what!  Jacob school's classmate Tairyn and Genevive are also on the same soccer team. Teran's mom is the team coach!!!

We got our team T-Shirt, then did some warm up, then learned how to control the ball with both feet, then learned how to throw the ball with both hands, then learn how to shoot on goal, followed by a mini 3-3 game. We spent time to have some snack after the game.  It was a fun day!

Playing hockey with daddy - 4 yrs 11 mths

This is a typical street hockey game we have in our driveway after work but before our dinner. Sometimes just Jacob and me. Sometimes neighbor's kids would join us. In Jan-Feb, Jacob and I played in the outdoor skating rink with real skate.

Cobcob speaking English - 5 yrs 0 mth

Cobcob was playing Angry bird with his best friend Finn. His English has improved a lot. He is bilingual in English and Mandarin. He also learns French from school. ie: In his kindergarten, he attends English class with Mrs Morneau for one week, then French's class with Madame Descotteaux for another week, alternatively.

We also observe a big improvement from him on the social side in the past 6 months, after he goes to school last September. Good job, son!

10th Annevarsary

十年了。非常感谢上帝保守我们的爱情，赐福我们的婚姻。

一直都喜欢圣经箴言31章的才德的妇人。多年前，我在圣经这章后面写着“主阿！求祢为我预备伴侣。 30/11/99” 。 那么多年后一直都为这事感谢神。

31:28 他的儿女起来称他有福．他的丈夫也称赞他、

31:29 说、才德的女子很多、惟独你超过一切。

Cobcob and daddy's Ikea project

Cobcob had been a great assistant to daddy in a few Ikea's projects this year. He helped daddy to read the manual and to prepare all the parts needed for assembly. We have completed 3 Ikea projects this year. We enjoyed our father and son project together. Great bonding time us while mommy is working out at the GoodLife Fitness in the evening.

Cobcob's faith through his drawings - 4yrs 10mths

 "Cobcob 看到草地上有橘子，很开心。。有蓝天。。人都很开心因为主耶稣很爱我们"

"Cobcob看到地上有苹果，很开心。。人都很开心因为有主耶稣。不过，有人看到主耶稣被钉在十字架，很伤心。"

Cobcob 今天终于有机会下黑道了

Cobcob 今天终于有机会下黑道了。 (After ski lesson #7 and a lot of practices at 蓝道, plus his request for more challenging terrain)。他跟着吴飞叔叔的后面，爸爸跟在他的后面，慢慢的滑下黑道的陡坡。吴飞叔叔故意S-Shape的大大圈的慢慢滑下去。他还蛮镇定的跟着，也没摔跤。问他还想在玩一次吗？ 不想，脚酸。 可惜iPod不在身边，不能拍Video.

Happy Valentine's Day to my wife

It takes a million people to complete the world, but it only takes you to complete mine.

Love,

School Bus

这是爸爸在家里二楼拍Cobcob上校车的照片。

小朋友在加拿大上学真方便。父母不必烦付学费、车费，也不必烦买校衣，更不必烦小孩子到学校的接送。学校会安排校车家门前接学生到学校。每天上课前，老师会在学校门口等校车接学生；下课后老师会送学生上校车。

Let's Shine Jesus' Light on Halloween

去年Halloween，我们去参加谦谦哥哥的birthday dinner。回来时已经迟了，没来得及去要糖。回家后爸爸带Cobcob到Ya Qian叔叔家要糖去。

今年，这是Cobcob第一次Halloween出去要糖。我们只走我们街的三分之一，Cobcob就说太多糖了，拿够了，可以回家了。后来我们决定再去Ya Qian叔叔家要糖，也走了他们家那条街的十分之一。

From Children Christian Happy Day books series: "Let's Shine Jesus' Light on Halloween":

On Halloween, I wore a costume and pretend to be a police officer...

But God knows everything about the real me.

"You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book." Psalm 139:16

On Halloween, I might see black cats, pointy hats, and creepy flying bats...

But God's power is the reason I don't have to be afraid.

"I have overcome the world" John 16:33

On Halloween, I brought home a sack full of candy, chocolate bar, chip treats...
But being friends with Jesus is sweeter than the yummiest chocolate bar.
"This is my happy way of life: obeying your commandments" Psalm 119:56

Yes, Halloween is jacko-o-lanterns, costumes, and candy on a dark and spooky night...
But Jesus is the light of the world.
Jesus said to the people, "I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won't be stumbling through the darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life." John 8:12

带Cobcob看牙医。伤脑筋！

今天带Cobcob去看牙医，结果把爸爸吓坏了。 检查及洗牙的费用是加币$300。Cobcob坏了七颗牙，7 fillings + 2 crowns 的费用又是加币$3,500。（现在还不知道保险会付多少钱。）

嗨。。。只是牙齿而已嘛，何必那么贵？ 伤脑筋！ To be or not to be？

做呢，又觉得很浪费，反正他的牙齿还会再长。不做呢，又觉得对不起他，没有好好照顾好他的牙齿。（其实我们每天都给他刷牙，弄牙线。也搞不懂为什么还是坏了。）

去了两周学校，妈妈在他的Communication booklet问"How is Jacob doing this week?"

这是老师的回答：
"Very good! He's the ONLY JK student who can write his name!! So far, he has NOT paid a word but his work is EXCELLENT!"

其实Cobcob的英语已经进步不少。在家里常常与妈妈daycare的洋人小孩用英语一起玩。希望他可以慢慢地熟悉学校一周英语、一周法语的新环境。

Ottawa Senators Fan at the Scotiabank Place
