New Family Pics October 30, 2010
Things are going well. We have all been really busy. But as you’ll see from the photos we have a lot of great memories from the last few months. Now that JT is teaching less, there should be more updates. SR is improving and we expect to have her home by Thanksgiving. Her therapy will continue for quite some time after that. It will be great to all be together again where we belong. RJ is growing in leaps and bounds and is enoying the fall and Halloween season. Our family and friends continue to support us with their love and help and we are very very grateful…
Continued progress July 17, 2010
We hope everyone is having a great summer. We are doing well. Shian-Ren continues to improve. She is eating medium-coarse food (ground meat and cooked veggies) and making great strides with movement and starting to speak. Ru-Jun is growing and developing in leaps and bounds and sees her Mommy on weekends and is coping well. We hope to have Shian-Ren back home by mid-Fall.
Thanks so much for everyone’s thoughts and good wishes through e-mail and snail mail and in person. We are amazingly fortunate to have so much support from all over the world.
Megachild – Aquaman March 6, 2010
No footage from the retreat party, but here’s a demo we made of our song Aquaman on our digital 8-track recorder with a gratuitous slide show video.
Row Row Row Your Boat January 21, 2010
Definitely one of Ru-Jun’s current favorite songs. She calls it “Dream” because of the last word of the song.

Here is her Row Row Row Your Boat Dance
(complete with a Sponge Bob fan we got at the Taipei Zoo, which was much needed on that 95˚C day)
A day of shoveling December 20, 2009
The snowblower was useless; just too much wind-packed snow. John shoveled from 10:30 – 5:00 with a one hour break for lunch.
This is what it looked like before (click on ‘This’)
and after
(click on “after”)
John is pretty exhausted and is going to be very sore tomorrow.
