Things that make a parent proud! 
Sweet moment…
Well, Anna loves sleeping with mommy… I’m a “backup” as in “I’m ok if you put us to sleep when mommy isn’t here”. I normally take Anna to school and Soojin picks her up after. However, with Soojin’s right ankle out of commission, I’ve had to drop her off AND pick her up after school.
The kicker is this. Anna looooves it when I drop her off and pick her up!! How do I know? She tells me so!! She gleams on the way to school… and while I hold her hand to school (I park the car) and drop her off… and when I pick her up, she yells “Daddy!” Gotta love those moments… gotta enjoy these moments until she grows up to be a teen and asks me to drop her off… a mile off from school so her friends can’t see her daddy!! 
Oh well…
Sweet moment indeed… to the max.
Part II: Please pray for Soojin
Well, as most of you know, Soojin twisted her ankle on Friday. This morning, we went in to see an orthopedicist and it’s not looking good. The doctor said that while the bones are not broken, the tendons around her ankle seem to be badly bruised. 
She will be going to a hospital for an MRI hopefully later today…
If things look bad, the doctor says that a surgery will be required… Thanks for praying for her…
Please pray for Soojin… and us…
Well, as some of you may know (those who were at Wednesday joint Bible study), past few weeks have been just very discouraging to say the least… way too many things, both big and small, have been happening in my life…
Biggest is my father’s tumor in his prostate… not sure still as he still hasn’t gotten around to the biopsy… and Soojin’s mom’s health deteriorating due to liver functioning worse and worse… Kids broke the mirror sliding door to the closet that cost $150 to replace… Soojin’s car needed brakes done … over $400… my car’s flooding did another $400 damage…
Tomorrow, we were going to attend a wedding of a very precious dongseng, Deborah Ahn, in Dallas… but near lunch time, I learned that Soojin sprained her ankle… if not worse. She can’t move at all… Had to get her pair of crutches but no one carries the right size!! 
When it rains, it pours…
I was still planning to go to the wedding with the kids maybe… but now Anna has fever. So I have to stay and help out… shucks… I guess God is trying to get my attention… I’m ready God…
My sinus pain behind my eyes are killing me… allergy season’s back. Spent way too many hours fixing my computer after my video card died on me… There are whole lot more that are too many to list and some are too personal to share… but I strive on… as we had learned in Ethiopia… of positive living… and as Christine Ha had reminded me of it again today… Life is hard… but God is stronger…
Need rest… I just hope and pray that Soojin’s ankle is not fractured. 
Three Days of Pool in a row…
Ever since Destin, the kids have been wanting to go back to pool…
So on Friday, while Soojin was working, I took the kids to the pool right next door.
They LOVED it!! 
And we’ve been going back everyday since!
But I’m soooo tired… lots of sun and two demanding kids can be quite a tiresome workout…
It’s like I always say… “be careful what you ask for, ’cause you just might get it”. I just forgot how much of work it would be taking them to the pool daily! 
Free First Sundays @ MFA Houston
I just learned through Houston Chronicles that the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston has free first Sundays. That means this coming Sunday, folks!! I’m thinking of taking the family after church to hang out and enjoy the time…
Anna’s Very First Day of Kindergarten!
So… am I insensitive? Hope not ’cause I didn’t cry on Anna’s first day at the Kindergarten. Soojin had already the night before… but as we were leaving, we saw one mom crying her eyes out. I am just proud and happy that she grew up for school!
Soojin decided to pick out Anna’s week’s worth of clothing so they don’t waste time in the morning choosing what to wear! 
This is the entire Jang familia at the school!!
And this is Anna’s teacher…
Anna LOVED her first day!! Here’s to a great year of school!!
