C's first piano recital

Caleb has been taking piano lessons for 8 months now.  This is his very first recital.  Thank you to Grandma and Grandpa Ngo, Auntie Nina, Uncle Andy, and Auntie Melissa for attending and for support.

My #1 Child Accepted Christ

Today is a special day for me because I had the priviledge of sharing the gospel with Caleb.  Caleb is 6 and is able to reason and think logically.  So I thought he would be ready to make the decision for Christ.  I booked a Saturday so Hebron can spend some time to Dai-dai and I can share with Caleb.  Since Caleb likes to read alot, I used the wordless book to spark his interest.  I told him what each color meant.  It turns out that Caleb is very familiar with the gospel.  He said teachers told him about what Jesus did on the cross in preschool in room C6 and also in Kindergarten.  I guess he heard it, but have yet to make a decision.  So I asked if he believed in Jesus and would he want Jesus in his life and he said, "yes!" 

I don't expect drastic change in his life from here on, because as a child, I am not sure if he completely understands what it means to accept Christ as his personal Savior.  But at least hearing the gospel will give him a good foundation and moves him toward a life long relationship with our Creator.  I pray that as he grows, he will make this faith his own.  In the meantime, Hebron and I will try to be a good role model for him.

After his decision, I told him that angels in heaven are rejoicing because he became a child of God and is born again.  So we went to Chuck-e-cheese to celebrate.

Scrapbooking Marathon

Hebron will tell you that I am crazy, but I volunteered to help Caleb's teacher document kindergarten memories for her class.  When I volunteered to do that, I thought I was assisting the teacher.  Little did I know that I volunteered to take on the whole thing.  2009-2010 school year was like a big scrapbooking marathon where I document every activity in his kindergarten class.  Basically, I am creating 24 books (one for each child)  that document all the activties in the whole school year plus two additional books for the teachers.  There are at least 2 photo opportunities per month.  So there are at least 25 pages per book. 
Amazingly, I am almost done.  5 more pages per book and I am completely done.  I can't believe I did it despite, the holidays, tax busy season, and my MBA class.  I have to say, the memory books are quite nice and I am sure all the parents will appreciate it.
