Camping





我们刚刚同两家老同学露营归来。 第二天时, Grace 姑姑也来跟我们一起露营,大家都很高兴又见面了。好久没见,孩子们都长大了好多。总而言之,我们度过了一个愉快的长周末。
We just returned from a 3-day camping trip with two old friends' families. Auntie Grace's family joined us on the second day and we were all very happy seeing each other. All in all, we all had a lot of fun.

Mother's Day!















今天是妈妈们的节日,今天早上,还没起床,姐姐就跟我说,躺在被窝里,不许起来。不一会儿,安娜和姐姐搬着礼物进来,然后又把早饭端了进来。我在被窝里吃早饭,拆礼物,真是过上了太后般的日子。最让我感动的哥哥的一个纸条, 看得我热泪盈眶。中午爸爸领孩子们弹琴表演回来,还给我买了花儿。
I have had a wonderful mother's day today! I had "breakfast in bed" this morning and also opened my presents in bed. Anna made me a necklace and a beautiful card. Leah helped daddy to serve me breakfast. The most touching present is a note written by David. Daddy also bought me flowers when he came back home from David's and Leah's piano performance.
