Jax is 11 month. He will turn one in a month. This little boy has been a delight from the very first moment he came into our lives.  Early last year, I couldn’t imagine having a baby at home and now I can’t imagine our lives without him. I have watched he develops into a […]

I can’t believe it’s been a month since I last posted. We had a great past month celebrating Jax’s first Chinese New Year. Jax has made some huge developments recently. Nine months ago he was so tiny, relatively immobile and you were almost afraid to touch him. Now he is nine months old and he […]

Jax are so blessed to have so many friends his age at Church. There are 12 of them which is enough to form a soccer team. It’s such a privilege for me to be part of the Children’s ministry at our church. I haven’t been back since Jax was born. I miss all the kids […]
