Open House for Jessica and Henry

Almost twenty-four years in the making, Jessica has returned home with the man of her dreams. We her parents were more than delighted and excited to host an open house in honor of their engagement. Plans were made for many weeks. Finally, the long-awaited day arrived. On the afternoon of Friday, June 22, we picked up Jessica and Henry at the airport. With about an hour barely to rest, the guests began to arrive at 6pm as scheduled. Three tables were carefully prepared, one for meat, one for fruit, and the other for dessert. We were fortunate to have over 60 people in attendance. Thanks to all those who came from afar in the pending thunderstorm to come meet Jessica and Henry to extend best wishes. Congratulations to our sweet daughter and fiance!

Christmas in Utah

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 2024

2024 was Ben's first full year of retirement from full-time federal government service. However, he decided to continue teaching engineering classes part-time at the local Montgomery College and fulfilled a dream this fall in teaching a math class. He picked up pickle ball, worked on family history, and started other projects. This year Li-Fang served as a counselor in the Relief Society Presidency at church and coordinated almost weekly activities for the women. Among these were rehearsals for line dance, social dance, and Latin dance. She is still having fun teaching private piano to more than a dozen students and art and sewing at VisArts. In the summer, we visited our children in Utah and returned to Taiwan. We are grateful for life and its many beautiful blessings. Merry Christmas from the Lin's! Life is good; kids are growing… In January, Trey is going to Primary and Blake will be going to Young Men's! Grace is still everyone’s frie...

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...
