11 years ago...

This copy of The Tale of Two Cities was brand new.. with me being the first student to check it out for English class... Now, after 11 years has passed, this book has once again, by shear luck of fate, found its way to our family... My sister was given this book by her English teacher randomly..

Mother's day 2009

The children sang a song dedicated to the mothers at church... They wanted all children under 30... so awkward to be standing up there with the little ones... lol... but happy to see I can still be included in the "children" category...

My mom also gave testimony about Lola, which Lola didn't hear because she had gone to Uncle Boy's church... I tried to get it mostly on video so that at least she can watch it later... I will post in that in the videos section...

After church, had lunch/dinner/whatever it was at Kim Son on Bellaire... Didn't really eat much because we just finished eating lunch at church when Mari called... Good to have some quality time with the family though...

Then we headed home to the 'rents place because they were packing to leave for the PI the following morning... And of course we still had some last minute tugons and what nots...
