I am in the hospital waiting for Toby's x-ray results. He hurt his finger during Lacross practice. It looks like broken. We will find out soon....
Yes, it was broken! Yak. He will now miss some Lax practice. HE IS NOT HAPPY. I am fine with. He has been working too hard lately with Robotic, Job, Boyscout, Lax and Homework!

Life is good!
It was a great day! The Boys and Girls Club closed today for a special event. My girls had no place to go after school. Toby and Joshua both have sport practice, Lacrosse for Toby and Field and Track for Joshua. So instead of hiring a babysitter, I picked them up and took them to my work. It has been crazily busy and I had not had time to bring the girls to work. Only some of them met Jenny so I think it was about time for me to introduce her.
I got them each a pair safety goggles though that is not really required. They look professional this way. After saying hi's to office people, I took them to see the robots on production lines. On the way there, we passed our cafeteria. Anna had been very up beat. She kept saying "Mom, this is a great place to work!". I was proud too for the place I work. Finally, at one point, I asked "honey, tell me why do you think this is a great place to work". She replied "you have free pops,coffee and TV here!". Oh, that is not what I was thinking why this place is a good place to work. I thought she would say it is great here because all the robots and cool mirrors we make. Oh, well. It may take some time for them to appreciate the same thing as I do yet.
It is a great day also because Jenny had her first cry for Mommy! Normally, I would appraise brave girls. But with Jenny, I was actually happy she cried. Right before dinner, she was playing outside. She fell down and got her pants wet. She ran into the house with tears and cried for Mommy! That made me feel so good. I nearly cried. I have been suffering the fact that this girl is too independent. She almost made me feel that she did not need a mom! I am so happy to know that she knows what Mom is really for. She came to me for comfort!!! Yippppeee!
I also noticed that Today instead of just speaking Chinese to me, Jenny started to ask "Mom, how do you say....in English?" She is making an effort to learn English now all by herself! What a girl! For the past few days, we have been listening the "learning Chinese with me" DVD every time we were in the car. I bought it for Anna before we went to China. Anna learned to sing about 5 Chinese songs from the DVD. Now both girls love the DVD. Jenny is repeating the English words and Anna is repeating the Chinese words. They both then sing the Chinese songs together. It is good to see them bonding. They have been playing well together for a while now. It is quiet at night in out house expect the laughters from the girls!
Thank God, life is good!!
