Enjoying Father's Day

After a grueling 2 months of cleaning and packing and moving in Maryland by myself, it seemed like paradise coming out to Utah to be with my family. Sunday, June 16, was a very fulfilling day for two reasons. Our grandson, Blake Lin, was blessed by his father, Henry, in Sacrament Meeting at the Chinese Ward. A couple of our Montgomery Branch family friends, the King's and the Baxter's, attended the blessing. After church, we enjoyed a quiet dinner in our condo with the children and little Blake. Cousin Joseph and his dad joined us for dinner. Then we had a fun time taking photos. My children gave me a framed collage of photos and reasons why they loved Dad. My dearly beloved gave me a Granddad teeshirt, which I proudly display. This is one of the best Father's Day celebrations I can remember. Thanks, family!

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 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.

She is serving in the Relief Society, the women's organization in our church. Be...

2024 Chinese New Year

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!
