Bye Bye Blockout Dates!

Summer almost ends and that means not so many blockout dates at Disneyland for ap! We take a walk there with Noah almost once a week, and he just loves watching people (and characters too)! Here are some pictures of the day:

隨著暑假的結束, 我們又可以常常去迪士尼樂園玩 (我們的年票在暑假有一半時間都不能用). 我們幾乎每個禮拜會帶嘉信去散步一次, 他很喜歡看路過的人(和卡通人物)! 一些照片與你分享:

Got Tagged!

Thanks to Cheri for tagging me. I feel like a miss popular :)

One book that changed your life: Bible (still keep changing!)

The following questions I’ll change them from books to movies because the most books in English that I read are childern- or health-related.

One movie that you’ve watched more than once: Joy Luck Club, 1993 (the 2nd time I invited my mom to watch it with me)

One movie that you’d want on a desert island: Robinson Crusoe (a book is more practical than a dvd then)

One movie that made you laugh: Galaxy Quest, 1999 (I don’t even remember the story but it’s the first one I thought of—I guess it must be funny)

One movie that made you cry: Life Is Beautiful, 1997 foreign

One movie that you wish had been produced: Noah's Ark (newer version, such as "Passion of the Christ" or "The Prince of Egypt")

One movie you couldn’t put down: Magnolia, 1999

One movie you are currently watching (the last one I watched): In Her Shoes, 2005

One movie you’ve been meaning to watch: Wallace & Gromit—The Cruse of the Were-Rabbit, 2006 (I love all Wallace & Gromit Series)

5 things in my purse: wallet, phone, snacks, bottle water, and camera

5 things in my closet: old clothes that aren’t my size, new clothes that are my size but not pre-washed yet (so I just keep wearing my good old t-shirts), purses/bags that are replaced by diaper bag, hotel mini-toiletries (I have a great collection!), gift wrap/bags

5 things in my vehicle: a cross and a dove-shape necklaces hanging on the mirror (given from church’s sisters), Rex the dinosaur from Toy Story (it’s for me, not for Noah), Noah’s hat and car seat toys (seldom used but just in case).

5 things in my freezer: uncooked brown rice, b&j chocolate cookie dough ice cream (for Danny only), rice ball (Chinese dessert), fish and taquitos.

I'll keep my tag list open at this moment...

New Challenge

Recently Noah is very active--eager to turn around, sit up, and even stand up (w/ support, of course)! Nap time becomes a challenge to me because he keeps sitting up and laughing by doing so. I need to lay him down from sitting for several times until he finally runs out of energy and sleeps like an angel...

最近嘉信愈來愈愛動--喜歡翻來翻去, 自己坐起來, 甚至抓著東西站起來! 要他睡午覺也頗具挑戰, 因他一直會坐起來笑. 我需要讓他躺下好幾次直到他用盡體力, 像天使一般進入夢鄉.

2 sis & 1 bro

Today Noah's auntie and cousins were visiting us, and we had a great time! This pic just reminds us of the days when Danny and his two older sisters were little--Danny slept in the middle and they massaged one another (poor Danny because he had to massage both sides when they turned around).

今天Noah的二姑姑和兩個表姊來看他. 我們好高興喔! 這張照片讓我們想起當年Danny和大姊二姊還小的時候, 他們會幫彼此按摩 (Danny睡在中間得幫睡在兩旁的姊姊按摩).

Costco Ride

We saw this cute rocker at Costco and wanted Noah to try on it. It's his first time sitting on a rocker, and it seems that he enjoyed the ride!

我們在Costco看到這可愛的搖椅, 就想讓Noah坐坐看. 這是他第一次坐搖椅, 看來他還蠻喜歡的.

Church Retreat at UC Santa Barbara

Church's summer retreat was held at UC Santa Barbara from 8/18 to 8/20. We surely had a great time--even though we couldn't attend all the sessions because of Noah.

教會夏令會在加州Santa Barbara大學舉行. 雖然因照顧Noah無法聽每場信息, 但我們還是很享受這次的夏令會.
