Happy 4th Birthday, Allison

Allison celebrated her 4th birthday on July 2th.

Allison Loves to Dance

Sorry for not updating the blog for a while. Allison grew so much in the past five months. She can count from 1 to 100 and plays piano very well. She also loves to dance. Here is a video we took last week. She is so cute.



Allison will have her second dance recital on 6/27. Here are the cute ballerinas.

Grace's brother and his family came to visit in February. We had a great time. Here is a picture Allison took with cousin Benjamin.

Allison's First Ski Lesson

Allison took her first ski lesson with two of her friends at Northstar on Sunday. It was a lot of fun.
Allison was doing very well as a first-time skier.

Happy Thanksgiving

Allison dressed up as a princess for the Halloween and had been enjoying weekly playdates with her friends at school and dance class in the past two months.

We had a lot to thank for in this Thanksgiving. Grandpa was hospitalized on November 20th for gall bladder infection and stayed in the intensive care unit for 4 days for heart complication. We are very thankful that Grandpa was well enough to come home the day before Thanksgiving. We are also thankful that our good friend, Alice and her family, came over and spent the Thanksgiving evening with us. We hope you also had a great Thanksgiving.

Happy 81st Birthday, Grandpa

Grandpa celebrated his 81st birthday on September 4th. We are very happy that grandpa is doing very well after the quadruple bypass surgery. Here is a picture Allison took on September 7th.

Here is another picture Allison took. Allison loves to take pictures and grandpa and grandma are her designated models. Don't grandma look wonderful?
Allison loves frozen yogurt. Yummy.........

She also loves to play with her friend, Avery.

We went to a pumpkin patch last Sunday with grandpa and grandma. Allison has a good time riding trains, petting goat, and riding pony.

Happy Birthday, Grace

Grace spent her birthday at the hospital with Grandpa yesterday. Although there were no wrapped gifts or balloons, Grace felt very happy and blessed because she received the best gift of all which was Grandpa's speedy recovery from his quadruple bypass heart surgery. Grandpa was in very good spirits and was able to sit up for several hours and walk about 75 feet.

It is so good to see Grandpa's beautiful smile again.

Another great gift Grace received was a big hug from Allison. Allison offered her favoriate blanet to Grace as a birthday gift which was very sweet and truly warmed Grace's heart. Here is a picture we took at Allison's first dance recital on June 28. Allison did very well and was quite a little ballerina. We are very proud of her. Look how cool grandpa looked. We can't wait for grandpa's full recovery and look forward to all the fun things we do together. It was a very good birthday for Grace.
