Chinese New Year - 2012

I would consider this CNY as Jare's second. He popped out on the last day of CNY in 2011, just that this year, he greeted us with two oranges. He really is a boy of surprises, on the eve of CNY, he broke a bottle of cashew nuts! That drove us nuts, we we all worried about the glass bits shattered everywhere. It was a thorough clean up.

There goes our yummy home baked cashew nuts

初一，Jare got so adventurous that he fell and hit the table corner at my grandparents place. That left him a bruise on his left eyelid. Close shave from his eyes.

初二, Jare was drinking milk on our bed and he merlioned on our new bed. Thank God for mattress protector. That woke all of us up in the midst of our sleep to clean up. What a dragon year this rabbit boy began with. I'm seriously considering a safety helmet for this boy.

Thankful that Jazz isn't as adventurous as his brother. I would go mad if both kids are so hyper. I don't have those octopus hands to handle.

Greeting from Jazz

 

From us to you and your family, "Happy lunar new year, may this dragon year be of good health, prosperity and smooth sailing!" I guess I got to give up my chance of  having a dragon child, even though I desperately need one to compliment my man's zodiac for "龙马精神. My man's a horse and Jazz's an Ox, together they, "做牛做马." Sounds like a tough life. Well, since dragon is here and over in 2013, there's no more motivating factor for a number three. A loop is 12 years, that isn't possible either.

After a long weekend, I'm glad Jazz is back to school with all smiles. Smooth traffic today, a 20 minutes drive to her school, with ERP of $1.50. Sigh! Still, staying near town is the best of the best.
