Daniel



Daniel is growing so fast. In a few short months he will be 6 years old and will start Elementary School. He is very active and likes art and logic. He doesn't like it when "mei mei [Caitlin]" throws up milk on his pillow. He loves his little sister, but, sometimes he is a little jealous. The first words out of his mouth when I come home: "Daddy, play game." He loves to play with Uncle Kyle [Kentucky], Uncle Michael [Arizona], and Uncle Cyril [France]. Of course, I am the one who has to go home with them when they are finished. Woe is me! Sometimes, i can't tell who is the little kid....Kyle or Daniel.


As you can tell, Caitlin is growing fast. I call her "queen." I am just a servant. I love to kiss on her and Daniel. Daniel doesn't like it, but Caitlin does. Yesterday, I gave her a big kiss and she wanted to return the favor. She spit out the pacifier and pushed her head towand my cheek. As she got closer, I was getting happy. Then, she let me have it. She threw up milk all over my face and clothes. I guess that is her way of saying "I love you, Daddy!"

Kidneystone

In January, I had another bout with kidneystones. Just in case you are asking, the 2nd time around is just as painful. Hurt for over a week. I went to church and preached in the Chinese Church. Very uncomfortable. Went to the English Church at 4. Preached again. Still in pain. I asked the church to pray that the pain would go away. Went to bed in agony. The next day, i woke up. God had answered those prayers. The pain was gone. God had went a step further. He completely took the stone away. Now, having this problem before, I know what it feels like to pass one. I didn't pass it. God removed it! That is the power of prayer!

Ramblings

Just a few things that have happened in the last several months:

1. Celebrated 7 years of marriage. Still can't believe she hasn't killed me.
2. Made plan to go back to US in June.
3. Caitlin is now 7 months old. Time flies.
4. Working like a dog. Some things never change.
5. Working on a site for our church. With help, of course.
6. Played a new game called Acquire. Kewl game...... ask Kyle
7. Had a battle with kidneystone.... will discuss in a more detailed post.
8. Motorcycle accident
9. Found a great coffeeshop that isn't as expensive as starbucks
10. Daniel has found a new person to "da pei pei." The aforementioned Kyle.
11. Ate a fruitcake.
12. Kept up with the soap opera that is unfolding in Fayetteville.
13. Getting angry at traffic in Pingtung. Nothing new about that.

There's other stuff as well, just got tired of listing.
