Greeting to all in the Lords name. This is the first year we had a quite Christmas. For years when the children are young, our home are a magnet for all the youth. Christmas has always been busy cooking and entertaining the youths. However, this year with Melissa in Japan and Nathan moving out to his own rental apartment down town, the house was quite.

On christmas eve the church held it annual christmas cantata and as usuall I was there to video tape the program. See below for a short clip from the Cantata. This year I went to the cantata alone while Yeu-Tin take time to clean up the house. On Christmas came over for dinner and give us our gifts. My sister Lee was to joint us for the dinner however, she call later to say she ain't felling well.

Once I would like to wish all who visit this site a warm and merry christmas. May God bless you and your family for this year and next.

This week is going to be a very busy week for Yeu-Tin and I. First the Joy Lee’s family from Singapore is here in Toronto. We have been busy picking up the family from the airport on Monday and Tuesday. This coming Friday Sandra and David Lo will be arriving from State for a visit and has planned to stay at our place.

Audrey’s Toronto visit

It has been a busy week with the Way summer camp from August 12th 2007 to August 16th 2007. Help our friend from Nashville to move. Our friend Gladys was in town to sell her house and after the sale of the house we have to move her personal belonging in the house to a public storage place before the closing.
But the blessing for the month of August was to have Yeu-Tin’s niece from San Jose visiting Toronto to attend a wedding. The last time we saw her was in the year 2000 at her wedding. This time around we were able to meet her two daughters whom we have never met before.

Way Summer 2007 camping

The annual Way summer camp just ended on this past Thursday, August 17th 2007. The camp was attended by 31 Way campers and 7 counselors including our speaker Ricci. Everyone enjoyed the camping trip and no one suffer any illness other than the minor cuts and bruises.

August 2007

Begining of August see huge changes in the family. For starter Melissa Tee went to Kawata Shi at Amori Prefecture in Japan on August 4th 2007. Nathan found a apartment downtown and is planning to move in as soon as possible. Well that meant only the two of us left at home. I guess it is part of getting old and the new beginning of empty nest.
Other than that all are still the same. Yeu Tin and I are both stilling working at the bank.
