Smile without Front Tooth
Jas lost his third tooth, his up front one. We took the photo for record keeping. Thusday was his birthday. It was his Pizza day and he got the extra piece as the birthday boy, in addition to the cards from his teachers and the sticker on his sweater. From mom and dad, he got the Pokemon cards (two sets) and his favorite food, Salmon Sushi. CN is on her eighth week in the world and she can wave her arms more often and likes to look around at the brand new world.
LH's family was invited for dinner and T's family also dropped by before he is leaving for Seattle today. On the previous Saturday, we also have two families (HU and ZHOU) visiting CN.
Raptors Game
It was 8C for the past few days. And it's back to winter temperature this weekend. However, it will go above zero from Monday again. So far it's really springlike January.
On Jan 5 Jas and I went to the Raptors game in ACC. They played against Houston Rockets. Yao didn't show up due to the injury. Raptors won the game and Mike James was very impressive. Jas named him the leader of the Raptors. They scored more than 100 points so we got the free pizza after the game. Fans were chanting 'Pizza! Pizza!' when Mo-pe went to the line to shoot for the 99 and 100. The other thing Jas learned is chanting 'Defence' when the ball is in the opposite team's hands. There were lots of fans there, more than 17,000, but Jas met his classmate Ethan at the entance. We booked Jas' s birthday party on Jan 29 and the invitations have been sent out. Jas also started his level 7 swimming class and enjoyed the private lesson for day 1. Today is day 2 and there are 2 more girls. So no more private lesson.
It will be quite a while for CN to enjoy what her brother is doing now. She did go out with her mom to the parental program.
New Year
Finally we have a break now, from the busy holiday events both at work and at home.
At Dec 17 weekend, when I supposed to update the blog, I was working on the fix for QUE tax changes. At the same time I went to confirm the apartment for L and temporary residence for W, after searching on Internet for a while. The fun thing was the children's christmas party for Jas. He got the present from Santa, played with MK and had a lot of fun and a big burger from Burger King.
Several days later we went to finish all the holiday shopping at the freezing night. And Mom was tired of wrapping all the presents. At Christmas Eve Jas went over to NiuNiu's house and Christmas night ak and lisa sisters came over. We need to make sure that Jas is busy all the time. We went to T's house and Jas got his Roboraptor on boxing day! Now we can mention something for CN. We took her for one month check on Dec 30. Mom went with us. She weighed 8 lbs and 8 ounces and was 53 cm long. She still wakes mom very often during the night. Mom has to catch sleep during the day when Grandma takes her downstairs.
SH's gathering was on Dec 31 morning. Only Jas and I could attend. During the night all of us went to the dinner with Huashiyi's friends and waited for the new year's bell at Guan's house.
After fighting the cough for about 3 week, I went to see Dr. Chen for some herb medicine. Hopefully it will work.
