Birthday Celebration

Happy Birthday !

I can not believe that my son is now five years old! Where did the time go? Not only has Griffin grown up so fast, I feel so much older too.

Today I took Griffin to the zoo. We had heard that Sponge Bob was going to be there. Unfortunately, we were a day early. Nevertheless, we had a great time. I just wished I hadn't forgotten the camera.

Griffin's birthday is always a reminder of how lucky I am and how blessed I am. For Griffin, it is all about the presents and getting to be a new age. His birthday always reminds me of that moment when I first saw his face and knew exactly that he was truly mine. I knew my life had changed for the better. I am so thankful.

Farewell Family Celebration

My family threw my brother's family and mine a farewell celebration. They got a roast pig as the main dish. Griffin thought it was gross but eventually ate it. Each member of the family tied a string around our wrists as they wished us good luck in their own ways. We were very appreciative of the gesture. Overall we had a wonderful time.

Beautiful Wilderness

We hiked near this cool stream. It was nice air conditioning in the hot summer weather. You could feel the cool breeze of the cold mountain waters as you get close.

Bountiful Backyard

My parent's yard is a small suburban yard. Yet it is full of fruits and vegetables. Also pictured are the crabs my brothers caught near San Francisco. My mom made a very tasty meal out of the crabs. The fruits in the yard were very good too.
