Snow! Snow! Snow!

By




According to reliable sources, the biggest snow storm of the decade in Montgomery County commenced with some snow on February 2 and continuing for over a week.  School was canceled for almost 2 weeks.  I did not go to work for a whole week, and we had to cancel church two weeks in a row.  According to NOAA, record snow falls amounted to over 73" (at Dulles International Airport) for this snow season.

Personally for us, this snow storm resulted in more careful and slow driving, getting stuck on the back roads, Joshua going out with Adam Fugal to help shovel driveways, more bonding time at home with the family, kids playing in the snow, and a lot of shoveling.  Half way through the storm, our shovels gave way.  It was very difficult to buy shovels during a storm, because they were all out.  Luckily, we were able to buy 2 new shovels before the end of the storm.  Hopefully, we will not have a storm like this for another decade.

Christmas in Utah

By
This Christmas we decided to fly Breeze Airlines from Dulles Airport to Provo, UT.  And it was a breeze.  We were able to see Grace performance her dance.  Afterwards, she and her siblings had a photo op with Santa. We also were able to attend Sofia's Christmas concert at school.  Can you see Sofia? Our long-awaited family group photo at the Utah State Capitol turned out beautifully despite the cold.  Thanks, Veronica, for taking the photos. We are grateful for the time we had to spend time with our family during Christmas and New Years Eve.

Happy Holidays 2025

What an amazing year 2025 was for our family! Our list of adventures included a family reunion with my brothers in Chicago, a relaxing trip to Williamsburg and Virginia Beach with Jessica and Joshua, and a Church history tour of Palmyra and Kirtland with church friends. It was our first year of enjoying our first hybrid car. Having to add gas only once a month has simplified life and made it all worthwhile. We share our gratitude of these many blessings and hope that you, the reader, will have received lots of blessings as well this past year and many more in the coming year. This year, Ben has taught half-time at the local Montgomery College. He is serving as the mission leader at church to help new converts with the aid of the full-time missionaries. Li-Fang is enjoying herself by teaching oil painting and sewing at VisArts in Rockville and still continues to teach private piano. She is serving in the Relief Society, the women's organization in our church. Be...

For the 2024 Chinese New Year, Year of the Dragon, we traveled all the way to DC.  Jonathan had surprised Li-Fang on her birthday.  Together with Joshua and Jonathan, we went to the Smithsonian American Art Museum for the cultural shows and crafts.  Lester, Li-Fang's nephew, met us there. We  also walked around the Asian Art Museum and walked to Reren Lamen restaurant for dinner. Yum yum!
