Friends in NYC the dinner that was cooked up! Yum!

Chatting Facetime with Ling family in San Fran

After uncle Kwok finishes cooking a big meal and while everyone's eating, Clayton goes up to him and says, "This is a good dinner" and that just melted uncle Kwok's heart! It made his day!

Girls stuff

Kids stuff

Old place where Abbey and I lived for one year in Brooklyn

Nine people, 17 dishes, very yummy and good size dishes: $44. What a steal!

Talk about selfies

NYC subway

Having a little too much fun.

She can fit inside the steel beam!

WTC Ground zero

Night market on 8th Ave in Brooklyn! Always so nice!

Maybe she should start wearing more bowties..

The food that was bought so we can take home to eat for dinner didn't quite exactly make it. It got eaten on the Jersey turnpike since we were so hungry and the food smelled so good!

Fixing things around the house

I guess this is no better time to let the kids learn how to fix things around the house. Since they use this daily, why not teach them to replace toilet seat covers as well as unclogging drains.

The main reason that the kids are learning to unclog drains is because they decided to shred paper and stuff it down the drain. Well it got clogged up, instead of punishing or yelling at them, I told them they need to unclog it. So they whined: "I don't know how!" So I told them that they should have thought about it before doing it but since it's too late, now they have to find a way to unclog it. Find videos online to show how to do it but I end up telling them what to do BUT they still have to do it. As you see below they now know how to clear out the drain pipes.
