Chasing Cherry Blossoms 賞櫻
Dad was a big fan of cheery blossoms and heard that it started blossoms around 台７線 (A mountain road around Yi-lan). Given the popularity of Yi-lan lately, we didn’t want to take the risk of going on the weekend. By randomly picking a Tuesday afternoon that Dad didn’t need to work, we picked up Anders and Arden from school, packed some 胡椒餅 (pepper pie) as snacks, and we were on the road to chasing cherry blossoms. Went onto 台７線 to stop at 大同鄉 first; continued our journey to 長埤湖, routed back to 玉蘭茶園 (tea farm)。 Anders wanted to play with the sticks and dirt while Arden happily being the “little model.” She kept saying, “我是小 model.” It was a nice little trip.
Selena Takes Us to Nan-Fang Aou Beach

回台灣才幾週，妹妹再次為大家獻上勁歌熱舞。這次的歌我也是第一次聽到，不知道她在哪裡學的。
Happy Chinese New Year!
Anders learned the Chinese New Year sayings (吉祥話) at school. Wish everyone have a great Dragon year!

This day ten years ago, Harrison and I met at Sam’s turkey dinner in San Jose. Can’t believe it’s been a decade. There has been so many happenings between now and then. Most of our friends got married and our life also moved on with more new families and friends. I realized that our slideshow at the wedding was not included in the wedding DVD. There were so many memories there while watching it again today. Each picture has its unique mark and memory before we got married… Andy, do you still remember what you said to Harrison at the night of this picture in the slideshow was taken?! (hehe, you know which one I was referring to.) Sam, remember our failed tiramisu and the very first trip we visited you in NC when we went hiking? Tim,...
