In Canada, Christmas is a big festival and event for you to gather friends and family, we don't have relatives here, so friends are always our family, relatives here!

Playing games with the boys

During the Christmas holidays 2011, I found that it was the perfect time for two boys to get well with each other, though they sometimes will fight for TV, toys, arguing.. On the other hand, they can play happily, whenever I ask Moses to read books with Micah, he will do so and I love this picture , it is so warm! I guess when Moses goes back to school next week,
Micah will be so lonely without his buddy for few hours.

Jan 2012 new year resolution

It is Jan 2012 !! I haven't updated my blog for long time again, in my new year resolution,
I decided that no matter how busy I am, I must write something about our life! They are so precious that I have to keep everything in my mind as well as my hardisk !!

In 2011, I am very thankful that I had so much graces from God, the most importance is the approval of our permanent resident application, and so I could plan ahead for my future!
God is awesome and He know what the best time, best thing are for us. When I reviewed the the pictures in my recent years, I realized that He had the prefect plan for our whole family!
In May 2011, I started learning French, now I am at level two. I am so glad that besides the language that I have been learning, I also met different people from Magma, which let make some good friends there!

I started learning driving since May, but I haven't yet got my license ! Sometimes I am blaming myself why I am Not smart at this area, parking, positing is my weakness!
Remember I had so many fears when I first learned driving. It is my friend Margot from mother's club, who helped me a lots how to drive with confidence ! She taught me almost 13 hours do far,
I promised to myself that I have to work hard on practicing , though there are limitations, like asking somebody to babysit the boys ... It will be Man's turn to teach me parking! Go go go ! God, please help me to get the license , and guide me how to be a good driver behind the wheels! Safe driving!

Trouble three

After Micah turned into three, I found that he has his bad temper more frequency, I really don't want to spoil him but sometimes I did it, so sometimes he will test my
bottomline? Today when he was in Sarah's house, Sarah babysitted a little girl - Macy, who is about 4 years old, and loves playing with Micah. Both Micah and her have a common character, they are both strong-will kids. Macy loves to direct people and instruct Micah what to do. However, even Micah is the youngest in the family, he has his own way , own thought. I am not sure whether it is due to his age , or his own character, he loves to act what he wants, he doesn't like listening to others, especially they are at the similar ages.

Therefore, it's not surprising that they will agrue or fight together when playing together.
Recently I found that I don't have any good skills how to manage Micah, I tried to ask him to time out when he behaved very badly. But it ends up we will have a long war, which I might have to take him back to the naughty area back and forth, and I will be very tired.

Parenting isn't easy especially they are in trouble age.

homemake cake










Finally made the homemake birthday cake for them, The " thomas birthday cake " made them so happy!

Their birthday party Sept 25,2011
















It's has been more than 1.1/2 months that I didn't update my blog.. my fault...
I can't exactly remember what's going on after school start, Man has been to Hong Kong for 3 weeks in Sept so maybe it was the reason I didn't go to the blog. I am sure not.
The insurance course started in the 2nd week of Sept, while I was busy with French class, taking them in and out without my " driver".
Time goes too fast, what happened in this Sept ... was their Birthday party, I am so glad that Moses's birthday and Micah's is just 2 days apart, I can totally save time and money , to organize one birthday for them.

On Sept 25, they had the bowling birthday party, we invited Moses's classmates, best friends, and Micah also had his friends came too!

new school year - grade 3

It's time to start new school year, Moses was back to school after labour day Sept 6,
he will be getting his new challenge- French Immersion, which is very excited thing for him.

He already started a week of the school, so far he didn't get much homework, but only some French pronounciations, and everyday he sits down to read and read , practice and practice, it seems that he loves learning new things.

Man flied to Hong Kong on Sept 9, and he will be away for 3 weeks here. Without this " driver", I need to go by bus with kids to the mall, or other places. But all my friends here are very nice that offer me a ride if I need, I appreciate very much.

When Man asked Moses if Moses will miss him during this period, Moses replied" I don't care! ". The next day when daddy flied, Moses told me that he missed daddy much. Sometimes kids are so strange that he won't tell the truth, maybe it's the chemical between dad and son.

I wish this 3 weeks go faster and faster, then we can have daddy here for thanksgiving..
