Fast forward 5/8/18, I am now working with Betty as a partner to help her handle some of her clients. Da is working on his Master Degree in Cyber security. Brennan just got accepted to Poolesville High School SMAT program. We are all getting ready for the Summer.
Kids just want to relax this year. Da and I are trying to get used to this changing day to day routine.
The older we get, the more I see how we are learning and growing in so many way. Thanks to attending the positive parenting class. I starts to try to see more what the kids really want and really think. I try harder not to judge and listen to what they have to say. Since I have two teenagers now, it is kind of tough to motivate them to do good.
Now that I think about it, I was lucky to investigate in the Church to really know what I want and want to commit too. My children have all the opportunities to learn at gospel, but they do not have the "THRIST" and "HUNGER" that I had when I was a kid. I would not waste time or skip any opportunity to learn more about. I seek ways to improve and find out more knowledge. I know this will help me tremendously in my life, I felt I had no time to waste.
I am grateful for all the blessings and hope to record more often here. So I can look back and be grateful of this journey.
PS: Two things I were surprised by Da.
Even he did not like so many things in the house. He helped me got my office desk and even talked the price down to $50. He is pure amazing.
Da knew I would upgrade Brennan's Saxophone and we were so nervous about getting the new horn. He asked and did not fuss about. I guess he sees how much Brennan enjoyed playing and he showed Da by playing more than five years on his old horn. Way to go! I am so grateful and my stress level was decreased instantly.

It has been in my mind about having another child for a long time. Da and I always want four children. When Cayleigh came and I got so skinny. Da stopped mentioning about it.
We did try for a month of so before I went back to work part time. Since nothing happened that summer. I moved on and got my EA license. I went back to work part time.
Now Cayleigh is already seven and will be eight next Jan. With new born babies around us. I can see how Da loves the little ones and he finally asked me if we want to have another kid.
My answer is always I am too old for it now. Cayleigh is getting older and older. However, seeing the look on Da's face make me wonder if I can do it again for him, and for our family.
My period has been irregular for last few months. I would have dark color blood discharge and then a few days later have the real red bloody period days.
This month, I have some cramp in the middle of the night so I thought the period is coming soon. Da was excited that I woke him up and he did not do any precaution this time. It has been five days and I still have no sign of period....
We will wait and see if this is Lord's plan for us.

Time in Hong Kong
Summer vacation is long but half is gone. We spent time in China and also in Taiwan. It was wonderful time to enjoy friends' company.
I am more concerned how to teach the kids to be kind to one and other. Especially Brennan and Cayleigh. Cayleigh liKes to pick on Brennan and he is annoyed and ends up hitting her.
Tonight as we read scriptures, I remind the boys again to be nice or ignore her.
Before Cayleigh goes to sleep, she said mama, you don't like daddy, bacause you really super duppee love him. And then she said to Brennan, I know you don't like me, but you love me. Brennan kept saying no, I don't like you....I can't help but ask Brennan to go into the room and talked to him again. He said he regrets he said it. I told him Cayleigh deep inside still thinks her big brother love him. I hope they will be nice to each other.
Also, mom spent a lot of time cooking and cleaning for us. The kids didn't understand. They do not appreciate or help. Tonight I remind them again. I hope they will learn to help mom and dad will out murmuring.
Mom was so happy that Cayleigh put away the mattress and pillows away all by herself. Hopefully the boys will catch up and do more.

FF author's tea
Today FF invited me to her Author's tea. My last chance to see her in her kindergarten class. I asked for a day off at work so I can be there today.
Standing there with other parents. I felt that I am also graduating from kindergarten. More like I am graduating from being a kindergardener parent. I remember when Brennan was in Kindergarden. I would find the teacher and asked him all the questions about his academic achievements, how he behaved in class and worried he is not reading the highest reading level.
This time, I let Cayleigh to show me her pictures, read me books and shared her silly pictures with me.
We were the first one standing up and get friends to take pictures. I hope she remember how much she loves her teacher that "I want to be a teacher just like Ms. Dembroski."
Kindergarten year comes and goes, I think she is ready to be an awesome 1st grader.

I hope she remember how she was loved by her friends,
how she learns to be honest with me not trashing her lunch even she was not able to finish the whole jar of rice in the BIG thermo that she claimed.
I hope she remember how she tried to be kind to her friends and she earned friends that trust her dearly. It is great to see how her friends want to be next to her and she was the one eager to help out, opening apple sauce for Isaac, opening lunchable for Vivian.
Kindergarten year comes and goes, I think she is ready to be an awesome 1st grader.

Time to start writing again!
Today is the day....to write my thoughts again.
I am now 36. I lived in the States since Dec 1997. I joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saint on my 19th birthday June 29, 1997.
Time flies and now I am a mother with three little kids, 6, 8 and 10. The last 15 years went by and I did not even have time to reflect on it. I am grateful for the Gospel which helps me to focus on what matter most in this life.
We just told another family picture at the temple last week after stake conference. It is always amazing go see how much they grow.
This couple years Brennan has a hard time at school. He was bullied verbally at recess and was not able to find good friends. Therr were days he would cry when I picked him up. He had his bad habit of picking nose and other things, but he really has a tender heart that is always willing to help those in need. We work with the school councilor and his room teacher Mr. Wells. I am happy to see Brennan is happier. He starts to have his little "saxophone" gang and his best friend Stella. He even got picked to be the leader of the "Pack"=class and attended a special breakfast.
When I praised him for his good work. "I just try to do what you teach me Mom!". This gives me alot of comfort. I know I am not the best mom on earth, but I am trying. I do not see what influence I have on him until moment like this.
Recently he also sent an email to the principal to see if he can be called early after Mr. Wells failed to fight for him go be call earlier than his own class. I am so proud to say the fifth grade team agree to call his name early.
