Camping Trip Highlights

We love camping! Noah enjoyed every moment of this trip, and he even slept better... From this 3-day trip I learned that life could be this simple. I wish I could take a picture of the starry sky. When I saw it I was speechless! Then I thought of the verses:

"When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
what is man that you are mindful of him,
the son of man that you care for him?" (Psalms 8:3-4)

我們很享受露營! 每一片刻嘉信都喜歡, 他甚至比在家睡的更好... 從這次三天的露營我學習到生活是可以很簡單的. 可惜我無法拍下滿天星辰給你們看. 當我抬頭看一時真是說不出話來! 我突然想到一段經文:

"我觀看你指頭所造的天
並你所陳設的月亮星宿，
便說：人算甚麼，你竟顧念他？
世人算甚麼，你竟眷顧他？" (詩篇 8:3-4)

As promised, here's the picture of our fully loaded minivan, whose 3rd seat has been taken off.
照我所承諾的, 這是我們裝滿行李的休旅車(第三排座椅已拆了)

In the 5-hour drive Noah had a great time playing with Pooh and pillows.
在五個小時的車程中嘉信和熊熊與枕頭玩得好愉快.

It was too cold for Noah to eat breakfast outside. Look at the cozy playpen that Danny arranged for him.

Sherman神木是世界上最大的活物(三張照片加起來才把整棵樹含蓋到)
Our campground was so small (only for tent size 9'x7') that we set up our tent on the parking area. It turned out great--no dust everywhere.
因我們的營地太小(只能容納9'x7'的帳篷), 所以我們把它架在停車位. 沒想到更好, 灰塵少很多.

We stopped by Lake Kaweah on our way back to LA.
在回家的路上我們經過Kaweah湖.
Then toys became the blanket. It was a happy ending!
後來玩具成為棉被, 為此旅程畫下美麗的句點.

Going Camping

Tomorrow we're going camping at Sequoia National Park for three days! Very excited this time because a new family member joins us! Let's give him some orientation before we leave. Can you imagine how much stuff we have to bring just for three pepople/three days? I can't and don't want to! (I think I will show you a picture of our fully loaded minivan later.)

我們要去露營囉! 這次要去大紅木國家公園三天. 很興奮這次有新的家庭成員加入我們. 最好在出發前給他新生訓練一下. 你能夠想像三人三天需要帶多少東西上山嗎? 我不能也不敢想! (我應該能照一張休旅車塞滿行李的照片給你瞧瞧.)

In Rememrance of Mr. Steve Yu

Our beloved brother in Christ, Mr. Steve Yu, passed away this morning. Mr. & Mrs. Yu are the closest couple I've ever known. Danny and I used to play bridge with them, but we never won a game, not even close!

Mr. Yu has three children (Pastor James is one of them), and they all are serving God in full-time ministries. Surely his deeds will pass on! The memorial service will be held this Saturday. Please pray for their family.

--Then I heard a voice from heaven say, "Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on." "Yes," says the Spirit, "they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them." (Rev. 14:13)

在主裡我們親愛的俞伯伯在今早過逝了. 俞伯伯俞媽媽是我所認識的夫婦中最相愛的一對. 凱旭和我曾和他們玩橋牌, 但我們總是輸的很慘!

俞伯伯有三個孩子都全職服事神(俞明禮牧師是其中之一). 他一生的果效會繼續傳延下去! 追思禮拜將於這星期六舉行. 請為他們一家代禱.

--我聽見從天上有聲音說：你要寫下：從今以後，在主裡面而死的人有福了！聖靈說：是的，他們息了自己的勞苦，作工的果效也隨著他們。(啟示錄14:13)

Cozy Coupe

I wanted to post something about Noah's cozy coupe, but I didn't have a chance until now. Because Danny loves cars very much, I thought it was a good idea to buy a car for Noah and daddy could teach him how to drive. So here are the results. (Danny even taught him about drifting!)

我一直想要寫個網誌與嘉信的車車有關, 但我總是沒有機會下筆直到現在. 因凱旭很愛車子, 我認為買個車給嘉信好讓爸爸教他開車應該是個不錯的主意. 因此, 成果發表如下. (凱旭甚至教他甩尾喔!)


These were the actions I asked Noah to do in the video:
(first of all, I didn't tell him to wear a hat)
Close the door
Honk the horn
Drive the car (apparently daddy taught him how to change gears)
Find the keys (daddy also taught him the common places to find the keys)

嘉信自個兒戴起帽子.
仔細聽他有換檔喔.
爸爸有教過到那裡可能找著鑰匙.

No wonder cozy coupe is Noah's favorite toy--he drives it for "miles" every day!
難怪這車車是嘉信的最愛, 他可是每天開"好幾里路"ㄌㄟ.

"Bento": Japanese Boxed Meals

A friend e-mailed me these "bento" pictures. The Japanese boxed meal, called "obento" (pronounced: o-ben-toe) or "bento," is one of my favorite food. I'm pretty sure that Noah would love bento if he saw a froggy in his lunchbox. (Note: pictures are from e-obento.com, click on each month for more bento ideas)

我的朋友e-mail給我這些便當照片. 日式盒裝餐點(便當)是我最愛的食物之一. 在看到便當盒裡有青蛙的嘉信一定會馬上吃光光. (註: 照片是取自於e-obento.com, 點閱不同月份來看更多便當題材)
