pedalo fun at 碧潭

11.5 years later, we enjoyed a pedalo ride with our children, who hadn't experienced it! They're so excited that they couldn't wait for it. They ran to the ticket booth just after getting out of the MRT station.

We got up late today. After late "breakfast" at home and I contacted a British English teacher through fb for my sons and made sure she starts teaching next Monday night, we went hiking without lunch in the afternoon.
Regis loves wearing his new sunglasses. It's getting dark and I felt like I had low blood sugar on the return trip. We didn't bring any food. Felix kept encouraging me. My husband asked people for some food. We're lucky. Two ladies gave us Airwaves gum and young lovers gave us some popcorn.
By the way, Felix stopped going to Yamaha and Genius English School at the beginning of this year. He and I feel relaxed.

rainy day at 陽明山

My boys had fun feeding dogs chicken bones after lunch. On the way home we went enjoying one of my favorite desserts 芋圓 in 深坑.



Little Regis slipped on a slippery trail several times!

winter break 2017

Winter break started Jan. 20 and school starts  Feb. 13. The teachers in my school still went to work to prepare lessons and make a collage Four Seasons on the first day.

Felix and I lunched with my college classmate at Pizza Fun Jan.23.

I went to Far Eastern Hospital with my husband and Felix Jan.24 and scheduled left forehead lipoma (fat tumor) removal surgery for Feb.20 noon. I hope everything goes well.

There are only 11 school days this month. I take Regis out of kindergarten to save money because I don't want to pay the entire month tuition for these days. He'll go back next month. My dad will come care for him for 1 week.

We left Taipei Jan. 26 to spend Chinese New Year holiday in middle and south Taiwan. It's wonderful to stay with my sis in Kaohsiung for 1 week and at my parents' in Taichung for another 1 week. And, I ate and ate. My husband came home on the 9th to prepare lessons the next day. 17 days later, my kids and I came home on the 12th. It's so nice that my dad, kids and I cleaned the house and apartment together before coming back!

We lunched at Oh Yeah Villa (沃野山丘) and hiked 阿公店 Trail Feb. 1.
