Tyler's First Birthday

Dear Tyler,

Time really flies.  It doesn't seem too long ago that we first met in the delivery room, and you are now one year old!  It's been an amazing year, and I am truly thankful to have you in our family.

You are way better than the best coffee I have ever tasted.  When I came back home after a tiring day of work, you  always greet me with a big smile, and I will forget how tired I am.

You have always made us laugh.  You are always so happy with the simplest thing, like when daddy did a funny face and mommy sang you a new song.  It wasn't hard at all to hear your giggles at home.  Thank you for filling our home with laughs and showing us what laughing from a pure heart is like!

May you continue to grow in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.

Wishing you Happy Birthday and many more to come!!

Love,
Mommy & Daddy

「豆」趣

不經不覺已當了爸爸三個星期。

經過多日來的密習式訓練，總算對抱BB、餵奶、掃風、換尿片等基本技巧有所掌握。儘管訓練有素，小豆豆每天總會為我們帶來意外驚喜 – 如每次換完尿片後（或正在換的時候）才來「出貨」！

小豆豆大部分時間都是在睡覺......

但每三小時餵食一次的時間表，已叫初為人父母的我們疲於奔命；平日要辦的事情更必須分為不同的時段去完成，不能一氣呵成，到現在還是不太習慣，但相信適應過後做事會更有效率。

雖然面部神經還在發育當中，小豆豆你的表情未免也太豐富了吧（尤其在剛睡醒時）！

看起來還蠻逗趣的。=)

身體雖然小小的，肺活量卻是相當驚人......

從其震耳欲聾的哭叫聲可見一班，更一步一步地挑戰著我倆的忍耐力，自問脾氣好的我也被搞得頭昏腦脹......

再加上今年冬天的降雪量好像特別多，不斷的鏟雪、鏟雪、再鏟雪......

雖然Jen 和我都很累，但看著小豆豆原本瘦削的身型逐漸長肉，一切的勞苦也是值得的。

偶然向我們報以璨爛的笑容更是無價！ =)

上帝對世人的關懷及用心，想必比我們所付出的不知要高出多少倍。

好在我拼命咁護住塊面...

 

同BB 換尿布，絕對係身手同反應嘅考驗！

新的一頁

感謝神！感謝Jen  的勞苦！小豆豆於3:30 am 出生了！

剛離開媽媽肚子時哭聲超大，應該會是個健康的寶寶。

 

感謝媽媽老遠從台灣趕來幫忙照顧，密集式湊B 訓練正式開始！

Awaiting

Eight months ago your life journey began;
A gift from above, it's all been planned.
Your every hair was numbered because He cares;
Such wondrous blessings we'd love to share.

Whenever mommy ate, you started to kick;
Whenever mommy slept, you started to play!
Let mommy feel your movement everyday,
so we know you are doing okay.

Sometimes you kicked so hard even daddy could see;
Mommy hummed your favorite song and you listened quietly.
I wonder... would you love playing piano like your mommy,
or enjoy building model like your daddy?

No matter how you turn out to be;
We know in God's eyes you are unique.
He's got the whole world in His hands for you to explore;
Life is full of sunshine and joy, you'll never get bored!

Little ToTo you are growing bigger everyday.
For less than two months we eagerly wait.
The countdown is on for your arrival day;
Just don't come out to play too soon or too late!

Getting Ready

My work schedule had been quite hectic recently.  While working for at least 10 hours a day on-site, I had been writing reports for other projects at home in the evenings and on weekends for the past 3 weeks!  I had never worked under such crazy schedule and stress.  Now I know how it feels like to be an elastic band being stretched like it had never been stretched before...

Tonight, PJ talked about being aware of the spiritual meanings behind everything that happened in our lives.  That was a good reminder for me at the right time.  In such busy schedule and tiring days, I could hardly find time to think deeply about the spiritual meanings behind all these.  God could have molded me for His purposes using different ways, including ways that I would never imagine, like making use of my crazy workload!!

We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.

Isaiah 64:8

I am not sure how things would work out, but knowing that there is a purpose behind all these unbearable workload, my working attitude would become very different.  Maybe all these crazy working hours were just “warm-up” exercises for me to get familiar with what a busy lifestyle is like, so I am getting mentally and physically ready for the coming of little ToTo!  :)

There is one thing I am sure – it’s all in His good hands.
