Happy December! I hope you're as excited as my sons were. They expected gifts from Santa. 4 year old Regis wanted another sketch book. 6 year old Felix got a watercolor set. I got a card, candy and a paper Christmas tree with a lollipop on the top from my students. Besides, it's my brother and husband's birthday month.
I've been looking for a 1/2 size cello and a teacher for Felix. He'll start learning this new instrument during the coming winter break. Of course I'll learn cello with him together! Why do I like the cello? I love the deep tones and the high tones. It's tactile, because you can just feel the wood vibrate, watch the strings respond. And, it isn't something lots of people play. The world can never have too many cellists.

My sons had a piano performance on the 19th. Little Regis has played the piano for almost 1 year. It's his first time! He had stage fright at first. He didn't want to go up to the stage. After sitting at the piano, he scratched his upper back. Finally, he overcame fear and did a very good job. We're so proud of him. Really wonderful that their grandparents, uncle from my side and Regis' former babysitter's family went see their performance.

We spent last weekend with my parents in Taichung and enjoyed pulling out white radishes in the field of my dad's former student.
