For everything from family to computers…
So I decide to check on latest news and what do I see on CNN? Rather disturbing and heartless “Top Stories” listin. I circled it in red. That just is totally cold. Don’t they have a 3rd (or 4th or 5th) eye looking at the site and how that would look?!! 🙁 As a father, the last thing I want to see is another report of a child death and a link to the video of it. Shame on you , CNN! Shame, shame shame!
So today marked our 6th wedding anniversary! 😮
However… it turned out to be more blah than hooray for the following reasons…
1. I completely forgot to get a card! 🙁
2. So I took her to the mall with kids and let her shop but ended up having to cut it short due to Anna having to go to bathroom and the water was cut off in and around the mall!!
3. Was on call and had to come in right after for mission support
4. Our anniversary “dinner” ended up being veggie pizza from Papa John’s.
5. Still at work and it’s nearly 10 pm!
Happy anniversary honey! 🙁 Sorry it didn’t turn out too well… but it’s been an amazing and blessing 6 years!! Here’s to a WHOLE ton of more years together! 😀
One of the things I prayed/hoped for in my kids as they grew up was that they’d be able to become the types of people that could enjoy the life carpe diem style. 
Well, you know what they say… be careful what you wish for, ’cause you just might get it!! 
JJ is such case. He is soooo animated! He is full of expressions and isn’t afraid to show them! Case in point, the train ride. Pictures do speak a thousand words!
Just watching him and his expressions gives me joy and life!
This one above is by far my favorite! I was told that I looked like a cartoon… to me, it shows a window to enjoying the life God gave us. I am soooo thankful and glad that JJ isn’t afraid to be himself and enjoy it! 
And to end with this picture shows just how uniquely he and his sister play … such creativity just brings me smiles. 
So over the weekend, we took a trip to Palestine… that’s Palestine, Texas!! 
It’s about 3.5 hour drive from here, closer to Tyler area. There is a state park which has the ol’ fashioned steam train rides. So we drove up on Friday night and rode the train rides at Texas State Railroad Park. We took the departure from Rusk because that one was steam train while the one that left from Palestine was a diesel.
Here’s one with mom and daughter…
Now a family shot.
Anna & JJ on the railroad tracks…
Again, mommy & daughter…
I just love JJ’s motion and expression!!
One more family pic inside as it left! It’s 1.5 hour ride each way and 1.5 hours for lunch so total of 4.5 hours! 
So our precious Anna finally graduated Pre-K school!
We thank God for such a precious child for us to care for and love!
…except that she hated the hat! 
And these are Anna’s teachers! Congrats sweetie! Now, onto Kindergarten! 
So I was playing with the kids after I was done vacuuming. It was kind of a spontaneous thing. JJ got on my back from our bed and so I decided to jump onto the bed and let them bounce. We did this a few times. But when Anna got on my back after a few times, she bounced more than normal and hit her head on the corner of a shelf next to the bed!! 
There was bleeding. I had to apply pressure to stop it. At first, I tried to reason myself that it was Anna’s fault for bouncing too much. 
Yeah, I know. That was bad of me. But then I realized that to truly take responsibility as a parent, you have to stand up for your share (of responsibility). Though I didn’t throw her at the corner of the merciless shelf, I am the one responsible for playing on the bed to begin with.
She cried quite a bit. I applied pressure for good half hour and in that time, I kept telling her that daddy was sorry and just comforted her. Later on when Soojin found out, Soojin asked Anna if daddy yelled at her when she cried, she said no, but daddy stopped the bleeding and told her that he was sorry.
Still… I feel bad. And thus ends my confessions.
So we decided to get this for Anna’s birthday with the money from grandparents.
Complete with the umbrella, hat, and boots!! 
And this is one of Anna’s latest drawings. I don’t know… it just struck me ’cause it’s one of her more “complete” drawings.
And finally, the posse pic to end the whole thing!
