In 2010 we have added yet another addition, a wonderful little girl, Senya. Now in 2013 we've made it a trilogy with Ailin. Life is great!!justin and yuanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11904920776241337680noreply@blogger.comBlogger33125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-183107262883957468.post-84663086864379518072013-07-23T02:08:00.000-07:002013-07-23T10:31:07.216-07:00Triplets!Ok, I've been dying to do this post: These 3 pictures are the three kids when they were born; Kai, Senya, and now Ailin, can you tell them apart?!<br />

<br />
So our new little girl is doing fantastically well. She's eating decently, and sleeps like a champ, though of course not at night. Her name is officially Ailin Zhao Mitchell. That's pronounced like Eileen, but spelled with the Mandarin romanization to continue our tradition of one name for both languages. Kai and Senya are taking right to her, which is major bonus. Yuan is recovering from the c-section like it was nothing (and I was watching, it was NOT nothing, I'm always proud I didn't pass out). We're now just very excited to watch how she grows!<br />

Every excuse I can come up with for not updating the blog just doesn't hold up for the entire year its been since I posted. I'll just say "my bad." Its been a fantastic year, and we're excited for the next one. The kids have gotten cuter, older, and bigger; Yuan has just gotten cuter, and I have...well gotten older (I turned 30 this year!!!). The big event of the year was going to China. The collective Mitchell fam was in China for 2 months, of which I was there for the first 3.5 weeks (So what did I do for a month on my own!? thats the next post). It was a great trip where the kids got some solid Laoye and Laolao time (Grandpa and Grandma for those of you that don't watch Kailan). They came back with their Chinese much improved, as you can imagine.</div>

Above is an interesting link that shows you a bunch of pictures of interior design, and you look through and decide whether you 'love it', 'like it', 'just ok', 'don't like it' or 'hate it'.Then it shows you what your interior design style is. I have to say the result is quite accurate for me.<br />
<br />
If you've seen my living room lately, I think you'd agree too :)<br />

The previous four versions of this post included some New Year's Resolution that I didn't think I can keep, some complaints and some dreaming, some information that's better left unshared, etc. (it is Yuan writing, by the way) I've concluded that I should just settle with a report of the holidays.<br />
<br />

This year Kai actually started getting an idea of who Santa Claus is and what he does. Through out the holidays you could hear him talking to himself 'Santa brings PRESENTS! He put it under the tree!' and he can tell you that Christmas is Jesus' birthday, which is like a double whammie in his book because whenever it's someone's birthday, presents are surely involved (he doesn't understand that he can't have presents on someone else's birthday yet).<br />
<br />
So that goes without saying that Kai had a blast on Christmas morning opening his presents... and that he kept asking for presents for a week afterwards :)<br />
<br />

She has been calm and watchful as things unfold around her. The best present I've received in 2010 was her, of course, I just didn't expect the bonus of her AND 10 hours of sleep. (yes, she sleeps through the night. Not the 'baby' standard of 6 hours, but 10-12 hours like a real person) So we had the true blessing of being woken up on Christmas morning by our kids at 9 AM. I try not to boast about it, but come on, you gotta admit that's fantastic :)<br />
<br />
We had Grammy Pammie with us for Christmas, and as always, she brought so much love, joy and good food to us (not to mention the millions of presents), we were sad when she had to go back to Utah.<br />
<br />
My cousin Heather brought her new husband and spent New Years with us. It was nice to meet him, and we were glad to see that she's found a good guy. Kai tainted my new year's day with 3 potty accidents, and I had a bad feeling that that was going to be a big part of my new year: cleaning up potty accidents...<br />
<br />
And as soon as we've said 'bye' to Heather, our kids got sick.Senya is struggling through her first real sickness (stuffy nose and a cough) and we are all trying to cope with the 'January blue' of everyone being gone and that we are another year older :)<br />

Senya Mei Mitchell (Sen1 Ya3 森雅)We welcomed the newest and littlest member of our family at 9:09am, 10/01/10, a great day to have birthday!!! Weighing in a 9lbs 7oz (and thats 5 days early!) she was born via scheduled c-section. She's been completely healthy and perfect (aka sleeps a lot). Yuan has been recovering fantastically well, and we're looking forward to returning home on the 4th.<br />

A quick summary of the trip is...well it was awesome. It was wierd to go without Kai, and feel the freedom of a childless companionship again. It was also very refreshing to discover, however, that life was of course MUCH better with Kai :) A wonderful thing to really get an appreciation for as we prepare for our second little bundle of joy.<br />

<div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>So... ummm... in case anyone cared, we'll be welcoming someone new into our little family (soon, not soon enough though),</div><div>We (I) are pregnant with our 2nd child. We don't yet know what gender it is, and we'll find out in a week and half. It's really anyone's guess, and please give us a guess if you'd like because we are all curious when the Mitchell family will finally receive another little girl to break the 5-boy streak.</div><div>Other than that... Kai will be turning 2 in a little over a week! I can't believe how much older he seems already (with all the non-stop babbling and climbing and running and jumping). His favorite word right now is 'Nice!', and he compliments himself with this word everytime he throws a ball or jumps off the couch.</div><div>Justin and I took a trip to Europe last month (sans Kai, thanks to my beautiful sister-in-law Shannon), and it was a lot of fun. I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone to travel without their little ones every once in a while. You suddenly realize there are so many little pleasures of life that you haven't experienced for a while (sleep-in till whenever you want, eat however slow you want, or walk into whichever store you want...) and it was quite nice to be able to enjoy them again even just for a short amount of time.</div><br />

Say no more. I understand.<br />So it's been three months. During which we had Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. Where do I even begin to catch up? (of course it's Yuan typing. Justin doesn't even bother anymore)<br /><br />Well the last time I was talking about our China trip. I will just end the whole tirp with one awesomely grusome story. (If you are nursing or pregnant, maybe you shouldn't read it)<br /><br />So we were in Suzhou, on a boat ride, touring the beautiful city by water. All was well, we were laughing and taking pictures of the scenery, and our driver (what do you call someone that manually rows the boat?) was singing us a folk song. Because we were shifting our weight around the boat was rocking, and something hit my head. I was sitting right in front of a hanging decoration I thought nothing of it.<br /><br />After a little while I noticed something on the plank where I was sitting that weren't there before. It looked like a red rock, but seemed incredible moist for a rock. Upon closer inspection I jumped back 3 feet---it was a frog head, freshly cut off. Someone must've chucked it onto our boat. The girls moved away from it and of course the boys had to poke around and take pictures of it. It was a little bit of a scare but we moved on.<br /><br />About three hours later, we were on a train back to Shanghai, though it's only a 90 minute train ride we couldn't get seats, instead we had to buy bunks (we didn't want to stand). So I laid down on my bunk with my hands behind my head, and found a spot where my hair was stuck together. Ummm what could've caused that? Ummm.... Yeah you are right. It was the frog head that hit me in the boat, left a spot of blood (ugh...), and fell on to the plank next to where I was sitting, and I found the dried-blood spot on my head three hours later. It's a good thing that I didn't connect the dots when we were in Suzhou still because it would have ruined the day for me (it still did ruin a small portion, but now it's just a grusomely awsome story I get to tell)<br /><br />So when we got to the hotel I washed my hair. Twice. Considered cutting it off but thought better of it (I'm glad I didn't)<br /><br />The rest of the trip was great :) I loved Hong Kong and would recommend it to anyone that's heading over that general direction.<br /><br />So anyway. Thanksgiving was great~ (thought I honestly couldn't remember what we did.) Christmas was even better having (almost~ we were one short) everyone here~ We went crabbing and actually caught something this time (though still very much not cost-effective).<br /><br />Now it's 2010, and we are well on our way of planning out this year, I have to say doing a very good job so far. We are hoping to go to Europe at the end of March (well we'd already bought our tickets... the hoping part is I get my visa in time so we don't just throw away 1600 dollars). We are hoping to have my parents come and visit sometime this summer/fall, and that's our plans so far (not very many. that's how we get good at planning:))))<br /><br />So long guys, and I hope the next posting won't be too far away.justin and yuanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11904920776241337680noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-183107262883957468.post-27167076995674804242009-11-04T22:59:00.000-08:002009-11-04T23:43:42.803-08:00It's nice to be home!So we are back from China.<br /><br />It seems that the past month went by so fast that it was a blur for me. I took Kai to China, and just when his schedule <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">stabilized</span> Justin and the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">fam</span> came, we toured around(without Kai), got Kai back with us, came home, jet-lagged for a few days, then Halloween came, then all of a sudden I'm looking at the calender saying November. The thought of 2009 will soon come to an end makes me shudder a little bit. Wow this year went by fast.<br /><br />So I'll back up just a little bit.<br /><br />I was saying in my last post how I was dreading taking Kai by myself to China. It turned out that he was a FANTASTIC baby on the flight. He slept and ate (even yucky plane food!) and played, was greatly entertained by two older ladies that were sitting by us (I'm so grateful for them. It would have been a lot harder without their help).<br /><br />So Kai slept for only the first 3 hours on our long stretch of flight, and stayed up almost the whole rest of the way until the last half an hour of our last flight. I guess it was his way of getting over jet-lag---stay up with the sun. Though he was being good, he still refused to be held by anybody but me, so my shoulders had HUGE knots after the plane trip...<br /><br />After we finally got home, because he'd fallen asleep on the car-ride, he had a little freak-out moment of about 15 minutes, where he just cried and clung onto me. I ran out of ideas quickly (running on a straight 24 hours with no sleep tend to do that to you...) and just decided to put him in a bath. Good job mom for getting the little plastic blow-up pool for Kai to take baths in---Chinese households generally don't have bath tubs. Kai calmed down right away, and ate a little dinner with smiles on his face. We went to bed that night at around 10:00 PM, and he amazingly slept until 5:30 AM the next day.<br /><br />Over the next two weeks I mostly hung out at home with him and my parents, trying to get him down to a good schedule and to make sure that he gets familiar with the new environment. He loved anything and everything my Mom made, and would climb onto his high chair to wait to be fed when he felt hungry---it was pretty darn cute. I was worried that he'd get sick in China because the environment is so different, and frankly it is just not as clean, but he was a trooper and didn't even have a runny nose during the whole month that he was there. I snuck in a couple of shopping trips in there but it's just not as fun without Justin around (I know, I actually really like shopping with him, weird huh?)<br /><br />So then Justin came with Jared, Shannon, Tara and John to meet me in Beijing. It was good to see Justin again after two long weeks. They were all exhausted from the trip and unfortunately my plane to Beijing was late, so they had to sit in a cafe in the airport waiting for me for an hour and half... poor guys. Most of the following days were fun , for me mainly because I'm busy playing the slave-driver herding <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">everybody</span> to do all the things we've (I've) packed into the short schedule.<br /><br />The funniest thing that happened on the trip was the first dinner we had in China. After we got to the hotel from the airport, everyone was famished and we set out to hunt. After walking past some street <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">vendors</span> selling squid tentacles and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">restaurants</span> with steaming hot-pots, I decided that a little crowded dumpling <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">restaurant</span> would best suite our various taste-buds (and stomach-strengths--I didn't want anyone to get sick from street vendor food right away). So we walked in and sat down---this whole place had maybe 10 tables and we had to sit smack in the middle... people were gawking all around us. I was starting to feel like a traitor hanging out with a bunch of white people... I had to just press on and order food and hope that people would stop staring.<br /><br />Food came, everything turned out to be good---Shannon especially enjoyed the cucumbers since that's the only thing she can really eat (poor girl... China sure is an adventurous food world). Just when we were finishing up, a group of local Chinese guys came in and sat at the table behind us. One of them watched us (Justin and the others, not me really) eat and was impressed with their chopsticks skills, and was cracking jokes in Chinese. I translated, and everyone laughed. Just when we stood up to leave, those Chinese guys came to shake <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">everyones</span>' hand and wish us a good trip in China.<br /><br />The farewell scene got carried away and someone handed Jared a cup of Chinese alcohol. He took a sip and all those guys cheered, and they laughed and clapped for him to keep going---and being Jared, he did (it was a good 3 oz. of 100 proof alcohol... the kind that smell and taste more like a rubbing alcohol than a drink). We left the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">restaurant</span>, and within three minutes Jared's face was already red. He commented on how strong that drink was, and clutched his stomach:'I think my ulcer is acting up.' Shannon looked at him like he was crazy: 'What are you talking about? You don't have an ulcer.' He said,'I'm starting to get one though.' And then soon after that, he said something, and giggled out loud. So we decided that it was gonna be a great trip because Jared got sloshed within the first 4 hours of being in China.<br /><br />Well it's getting late and I really should be getting to bed. I guess the rest of the China stories would have to wait (I couldn't have <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">finished</span> all of them in one post anyway) and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">there'll</span> be pictures to come.<br /><br /><br />So... until next time!justin and yuanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11904920776241337680noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-183107262883957468.post-19897193650885468572009-10-01T22:58:00.000-07:002009-10-03T13:39:58.336-07:00Quick update & PicsWell, I guess it is high time I contributed to this thing ;) So before I break out my favorite pics from the past few months, I'll mention a few things. We've gotten quite settled here in Portland. We're still loving our house, (Kai especially) and I'm really enjoying my work for Intel. Mostly we've been consumed with excitement for our trip to China!!! (sorry, it just eeked out again) Right now I'm sitting at home, alone, very sad because Yuan and Kai are already in China. Life seems quite empty home alone, and my video chats with them just doesn't seem to cut it. I've been studying Chinese again to polish up on my reading skills. Kai isn't really doing anything else new. He's got a few words down (mostly Chinese), and has also now mastered "No!" As Yuan mentioned, we had some great recent trips, one down to Ashland, and another out to Boise.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip4Mu8qNqfneV5XtLT1u-rX-lvRTdzM_NzKTKldm6RaF_Ru_ehFLHiq1CRUDGKg1BgJ_QvKdv7Cxq_d8a1kx_s0xJkx1qY8aPLOvPsBwUdz_Xul51A-FN8ocjBUSEDrKSYe_p4a_-SwqY/s1600-h/DSC_0019.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387878695237360162" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip4Mu8qNqfneV5XtLT1u-rX-lvRTdzM_NzKTKldm6RaF_Ru_ehFLHiq1CRUDGKg1BgJ_QvKdv7Cxq_d8a1kx_s0xJkx1qY8aPLOvPsBwUdz_Xul51A-FN8ocjBUSEDrKSYe_p4a_-SwqY/s400/DSC_0019.JPG" /></a> I think this next picture may have been the one that finally made me decide his hair HAD to be cut.

I'm not even gonna say anything anymore.<br />Quick update... We went to Ashland for a get-together with Justin's family, and all the babies were able to see each other, which of course was super ultra cute. But the dark side is that Kai scratched Ethan's face and got a bite from Ethan on the arm in return. The boys experienced toys being taken and time outs... I don't know if they enjoyed the get-together as much as the adults did.<br />During labor day weekend we packed up and went to bother Justin's uncle Glen again (the last time was two years ago). Uncle Glen took us boating and fishing and it was all great fun.<br />So now the time has come again for me to go visit China. I'm leaving tomorrow early morning and taking Kai with me... Justin will follow with the rest of the troop two weeks later. Yay for family China trip.<br />Though before I can enjoy time with my family and friends in China, there's the obstacle of taking Kai BY MYSELF on the plane... I must be crazy. Every time I think about the 24 hours that's between leaving our home and getting to my parents house I break out in a cold sweat. I must be crazy. But there also has been numerous examples of fellow Chinese moms doing the exact same thing and sometimes with two or three kids... I can only say that they must be crazy too. The good part is my doctor was being ultra nice and understanding, and told me that I can indeed give Kai benedryl when the time comes... oh how I love my doctor. (I was gonna do it anyway, but it just feels much better with doctor's approval) I know, I'm a horrible mom...<br />So I will try to update the blog once or twice while we are in China, keep an eye out for it.

It's really Justin's fault, not mine. He's supposed to be in charge of this blog!!<br /><br /><br /><br />So to those that didn't know, we've finally moved to Oregon at the beginning of May, after Justin has successfully completed ALL of the classes required for graduation. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Yay</span></span> for Justin. I was pretty proud of him for finishing an online biology class in 36 hours (sleeping time included!) and got a pretty good grade in it too.<br /><br />After we moved here we stayed at Jami's house for 4 weeks, I think Jami was happy when we finally moved out :))) It was really fun for us, and I think Kai missed seeing his cousins everyday after we moved out.<br /><br />However, we did find a house that we <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">absolutely</span> fell in love with that had everything we'd wanted and then some. It was only the 9<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">th</span></span> or 10<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">th</span></span> house we saw, and we almost didn't give it a chance because the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">photos</span></span> posted online were not impressive(to say the least). But I (the smarter one) saw <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">potential</span></span> from those <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">photos</span></span>, and our realtor took us to see it. And the rest is history. The offer went through, the loan got approved fast and at an incredibly low rate, house inspection was great, we closed on the house within 25 days of putting in the offer. We really believed it was meant to be.<br /><br />So the house is 2300 <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">sqft</span></span>, 4 <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">bdrms</span></span> and a bonus room, great room and dinning room, tandem 3-car garage, on a little lot of 0.12 acres... so plenty of room for now if anyone wants to come and visit!! ;) Especially now we've painted over the ugly burnt-orange and moss green that used to be downstairs, hopefully it'll be a little more pleasing to the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">eyes</span> of our guests.<br /><br />That's really it for now... we are trying to save up for many things at once to beautify our house... but doing so at a very slow rate so our house might seem empty for a while... but it's <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">ok</span></span> :) we are just happy to have a house.justin and yuanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11904920776241337680noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-183107262883957468.post-12202304562978944762009-04-03T16:00:00.000-07:002009-04-03T16:38:06.285-07:00Ummm so it's been 3 months...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaqUKSgSuTwdFOddNeR6e4O0gQVl1hel4pb8LmKNSbAvN-sPrSga6uFnwl54EjVHwlDS2cOB0YnNgMYv21WUyxF80FneZhkKvqpsLs4B_EF-6Wbo39KDyaoZspmj5F0QaWtw7GSdoOYlg/s1600-h/DSC_0032.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320610442920089314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaqUKSgSuTwdFOddNeR6e4O0gQVl1hel4pb8LmKNSbAvN-sPrSga6uFnwl54EjVHwlDS2cOB0YnNgMYv21WUyxF80FneZhkKvqpsLs4B_EF-6Wbo39KDyaoZspmj5F0QaWtw7GSdoOYlg/s400/DSC_0032.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge7CTlIYSD612nvSeOmY1CqC6LPIs2lCdTKw4RUaYIS-HSVdEMN-76HmUvNoiYpTzSlecYPDHlCa4YdFbpuwOSjkv-l3hI7FqqB5SG2SmIhzEcfADjyGUecaJQr0-NVM5UljrUt4-NdIw/s1600-h/DSC_0017.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320610439887990898" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge7CTlIYSD612nvSeOmY1CqC6LPIs2lCdTKw4RUaYIS-HSVdEMN-76HmUvNoiYpTzSlecYPDHlCa4YdFbpuwOSjkv-l3hI7FqqB5SG2SmIhzEcfADjyGUecaJQr0-NVM5UljrUt4-NdIw/s400/DSC_0017.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><div><div>It makes me feel better when I look at the list of our friends' blogs and realize that we are not the only ones not updating in a timely fashion.<br /></div><div>So it's been three months since we've updated our blog... can you tell it's been a busy time for us?

Then three days after that, on Febuary 17th, Kai started walking (on his own, not holding onto anything), at which time he was 9-months-and-a-week old.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320611358287723282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgguV5BYw-9RMvS00Un6a6jyzp9YM-3-ZiyUJY28SAlBJQOZstzxbHkdA-kDnmiGsDUyJXwE3ugvepESQXv_vszLyprPPFqDsd4YybC3D_xEfDjVlyMJvBWf2C9WjkTX_LnekHiIYQ_gks/s400/DSC_0169.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320610436313024754" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOsmP20Pnfn5hKJ11mUIaYr8UcjDg7fyUIU-2rQxuKLJEmDKveoQhsFyaGj9QgTyQkvJIIVQLnVhnKW1rYNAmRe7CU1AJJFjE5qIYyJbc5yZDWL-2gRadOntI6c0edFPFjD9eVVsO6SXA/s400/DSC_0004.JPG" border="0" /><br />In March we made a trip to Monterey California, and for the first time since our marriage had all of Justin's siblings, their significant other and babies all under the same roof.

The truth is, I don't think Justin even remembers that we still have a blog, so I'm here struggling with two blogs (I have a Chinese one to myself), and not being successful with either one.<br /><br />Another reason why we (I) haven't updated is that our laptop broke...yeah, pity. The graphics card went crazy and the screen just goes black. Fortunately it's still under warranty, so it's being fixed in some far away state right now... Illinois, I think. Hopefully our computer will be back in a week or so. However, right now Justin is definitely not missing it... because, I'm typing on our new computer right now. He was so excited that I'd finally agreed to get a new computer 1. because he needs a faster computer for his final projects, and 2. the laptop broke just in time. Though this new computer is for his 'school work', he'd already bought a blue-ray player for it, and installed his video game and RC stimulator. So I guess we'll see how much good it really does for him in a couple of months or so.<br /><br />Onto more important things...Kai is crawling now! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Yay</span>! (It's scary how fast this boy is growing...) So this is how I discovered (following material includes some bathroom scenes, be aware...): It was the 14<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">th</span>, I remember because that whole day I kept reminding myself to call my mom and wish her happy birthday (China is 14 hours ahead of us, in case you didn't know; so it was already the 15<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">th</span> there, which was my mom's birthday). Kai woke up from his afternoon nap, and we played for a while in our room. Then I left him on our bedroom floor to go to the bathroom. (Since I've had Kai I have never gone to the bathroom with the door closed unless I know there's someone watching him... It's a little gross but I think the moms will understand :)) So Kai started whining when he realized that I wasn't in the room anymore, and I just had to talk to him while I was in the bathroom. Pretty soon I could see his little head poking out of the door trying to see where I am. When he saw me he stretched his arms out and wanted me to hold him. For obvious reasons I couldn't, so he decided that he loved me enough to crawl to me so I can hold him. It was pretty cute though if anyone was watching they'd think that it's gross and funny at the same time.<br /><br />So that's the latest development of Kai. Oh he also has been trying various different kinds of foods, some of which is probably not suitable for baby. (Do Not try this at home...) He's already had a taste of egg, vanilla <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">ice cream</span>, bread, cheese, fries, paper (this one is not intentional), soy milk, etc. So far he seems to like everything, which makes Justin and I very happy :)<br /><br />Other than that, life is the same old same old. Oh I'm <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">going</span> to see Twilight with Kerry tomorrow, and I can't tell you how excited I am! The new Bond movie is pretty good, though in my opinion not as good as Casino <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Royale</span>.<br /><br />And we are going to California on Monday! Can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving already!<br />Happy Thanksgiving everyone!justin and yuanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11904920776241337680noreply@blogger.com0
