My thoughts 9-27-10

The conversation between the girls and I in the car on the way to ballet.

M: Tia thinks she is ugly but she is not. Everyone thinks she is pretty.

Me: Tia, why do you think you are ugly?

T: Because I have a dot on my face.

M: If your name is Tia, and you have a dot on your face. That means you are SPECIAL!!

I love to hear their conversations when they are nice to each other. They often soften my heart.

I noticed that Ian was kinda sad in bed time. He usually doesn't like to talk about it. He likes to answer Yes or No questions when I guess what he is thinking. I'm usually right on but not always. I was right on today. He is still getting adjusted to the schools here. He tried to convince me to homeschool him. He is actually right in some perspectives but that'll be a big decision and I don't think I'm a homeschool mom material. I might considering it for middle school if he can't get into the Charter School in the area.

I need to be more patient with them. They are being the best kids they can. Always be able to be there for them makes me feel very happy. I did my sacrifices and I am enjoying every moment with them. I'll be a better mom.

2010 Labor Day 9-6-2010

這個周末是個充實的周末,
星期五放學開始,很多鄰居的小孩,教會的小孩都來我們家,算一算最多的時候有11個左右在後院跑來跑去的,不知道為什麼,現在的我很ENJOY這樣的情況.

IAN星期五晚上去BALDWIN家SLEEPOVER,

星期六早上我們帶女孩去BALDWIN家玩,之後我就去買車了,所以,我們家現在多了一個新成員--
省油小銀

星期天很開心BRENT SMITH和他的日本太太來我們家拜訪,大概有5,6年沒見到他們了,他還是像以前一樣的溫和,有智慧,JEFF很開心能夠與他有些關於宇宙,科學以及神的討論;BRENT也與我們分享他12歲從英國搬回美國適應的情況.

JACOB星期天晚上來我們家住,他和毅恩開始了一個Web Show, 叫做Pitista,毅恩還加了一些音效進去,挺好笑的.

星期一 Diego 和 Melany 邀請我們去她的媽媽家游泳,
他的家在Los Gotas的山上,非常大,也非常漂亮,有很多的花草,後院有一個游泳池,浴室,涼亭,
這家的男主人今年72歲,家裡的很多東西都是他自己蓋,自己建的,
加上他們隔壁出租的兩間房子以及地,市價至少數百萬美金,

孩子們玩的超開心的,是TIA第一次DIVING,她嘗試了第一次之後,抓到訣竅,後來至少跳了20,30次; IAN第一次沒穿救生衣溜滑梯下來,很高興他們能夠交到好朋友.希望他們很快就能夠適應學校






家庭時間真是好玩!!我去了他們家之後,有另外一個感想,我發現我目前認識的成功人士都有一個特質,就是他們很勤勞,很熱愛工作,看到72歲的老先生,用他過去的40年建造了這麼漂亮的家園,不僅讓自己的家人享受,也和鄰居,教友們分享,他還是一直在工作,成功人士跟一般人一樣都很忙,可是他們忙的事情差很多,他們也有跟一般人為生活忙,可是他們的忙是有目標,是很堅定的,他們是愛好分享,愛好朋友的,他們是不怕麻煩的,他們是不怕工作的,成功就是一點一滴的計劃,一點一滴的累積,一小步一小步的往前進.非常值得學習!
