Smithsonian Tour

When Jessica and Blake were with us this summer, they wanted to tour the DC Mall.  So, with my Mom, we drove into DC on a Saturday morning.  First, we walked near the Washington Monument and took lots of photos.  Then we waled to the Museum of Natural History.  We took Blake through the Ocean and mammals and gems exhibits before we found out that the dinosaur exhibit was closed.  They had moved it to a smaller exhibit on the second floor.  We took Blake to the smaller exhibit before leaving the museum.  Next, we ate outside under the shade the umbrella chairs.  My mom treated Megan and Blake to a round of the merry-go-round.  Then we went inside the Air and Space Museum.  We went through the rocket.  That's all we had time for that day.  But it was fun to go into DC for a day.

Happy Holidays 2025

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...

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.

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!
