I'm Back!







Wow, it has been a long time, hasn't it? People keep telling NaiNai that they miss her blog, so I finally convinced her to write an update. Where do I start? I guess I will start with me. I am now three years old! Yes, I am spoiled, but not too bad. I will start preschool in two weeks and cannot wait. I love Ni Hao Kailan and all kinds of animals. Nai Nai still loves to take my picture. The link to my family photo site is posted here under links. If you are not a member there, just request to be added and you can see all the latest and best pictures of the family and their escapades. My, how our family has grown. I have a new baby brother, Joshua born 7-2-10. He is so cute and is growing so much. I really love him, although at first I might have been just a little jealous, but I have gotten over it for the most part.



Daddy is still working for the Atlanta Police Dept. and is really doing a good job of putting the bad guys in jail. He has been officer of the week, officer of the month two times and gotten many recognitions. He loves my family very much and works very hard for us so Mommy can stay home and take care of Joshua and me. Mommy does a very good job of taking care of us. She is teaching me Chinese so I can speak to her family and I can speak English to my daddy's family. Joshua will learn Chinese also. NaiNai likes to take his picture too, so I know she will have many more in the future.

NaiNai had surgery on her shoulder this summer, so she was out of commission for a bit. She tripped over the dog, Sassie, and hurt her shoulder in December. The doctor finally said he needed to fix it. She still has to go to therapy two times every week, but it is getting stronger. Pretty soon she will be able to pick me up like she used too. She says Joshua is too heavy and she can only hold him for a little while. He's growing too fast.


Uncle Michael graduated from Newport News Apprentice School in February. He got special awards also. He is working as a supervisor building aircraft carriers and is still living in Virginia. NaiNai and Papa miss him very much, but they are very proud of him. He still loves to fish, but doesn't get to spend as much time fishing as he would like. Hopefully we will get to see him over the holidays.






Uncle Brian is finishing his last year of college at Truett McConnell in Cleveland, GA. He played baseball this summer with the Douglasville Bulls. They are in the Sunbelt League which is a collegiate wood bat league. He did a really good job and hit five home runs. One of them was in the championship game. They came in second place, but NaiNai and Papa are very proud of him also. There is also a link to the Douglasville Bulls photo site if you want to see pictures.




Cousin Daniel and Michelle had a baby on May 24. His name is Jacob Daniel. He is very cute and growing very big also. NaiNai can't wait until she can get the two of them together to take their pictures. I think we will see them Labor Day, so there should be plenty of photo ops there. Daniel is back in school and working, and Michelle is working also. Cousin Patrick got his driver's license and has a job and Lauren is still in school. She and Daniel are both at Kennesaw University. Cousin Natalie is at the University of Tennessee. Clark and Meredith are still in high school. Jonathan, Jeremy and Juliann are doing well also.
Well, it's my bedtime, so I'd better sign off. Please check out the pictures and I promise I will make sure NaiNai does a better job of keeping you updated on what's going on in my family! God bless, Love you.
