Les musiciens de chez nous

We went to the Richmond waterfront and bought these little instruments for the kids and look who's playing it too!

Tae Kwon Do Open House on Sep 22 2007

How exciting! I think the video can be viewed and you can watch this little clip of Alison doing her pattern with opponents. This is the first time it worked and hopefully, the picture is clear...This was during the Tae Kwon Do Open House on Sep 22. The kids are in the Black Belt Club and they had to demonstrate some of their moves. Alison did her pattern and also some of the self defence techniques. Tyson did a team pattern and demonstrated a high flying kick which was quite impressive!

Back to school and activities

Sep 04 - Kids are back to school and the activities are back to normal. The craziness starts again!!

Last Sunday, we had fish & chips in the park. Ginger follows us almost everywhere except if we have to go to places like library or supermarkets.

Kwok family's visit in BC

Aug 31, 2007 - the Kwok family was in town and we spent the day together. In the morning, we drove Sandy to the airport and afterwards, we went to Steveston Village in Richmond where we had fish & chips there at the Pajo's. We went to the Buddhist temple in the afternoon. At night, we had dinner in the restaurant and we also invited the Leung and the Tse family. After dinner, we headed home for some tea. I did a second trip to the airport to drop Tonton Ah Li that night. Next time, it has to be more than 1 day!

Ginger's first haircut

Ginger has always had her hair & nails cut at home but today, for the first time, she went to a professional groomer to get a full groom. When Alison and I picked her up, she did not look like Ginger at all...

Tyson's 11th birthday party

Tyson turned 11 on Aug 08 but we had a small party on Aug 18 inviting his cousin Simon and his two best friends from school. Alison also invited her friend and we headed to Multiplay to have some fun with the arcade games. Afterwards, we went back home and the boys were all playing with either game cube or Nintendo DS communicating with each other. They can entertain themselves for hours with these electronic games! They had pizza and chocolate cupcakes... best of all, they all had a great time... The fun is not over yet! Tyson's friend and Simon are sleeping over and they are still playing Game Cube (it is 10.23pm right now ...)

Trying the new kite in the park

Tyson got a new kite from his aunt Pauline for his birthday (Aug 08). The kids had a hard time flying it and we had to call dad for help. He met us at the park and tried it too but in vain. Maybe it was not enough windy ... Is it possible that Alison and Ginger are starting to look alike ???
