Playing Together
These few months, these 2 brothers had more and more time playing together. Few weeks ago, they liked to build boats and played while taking the bath. Now, they loved to use blocks to build the buildings and invited their stuffed animal friends to the party. Still, Ha was the leader, and Hee loved to be a follower, so most of the time, they played happily together.Here was one of the video clips: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDqJZaDv6Uc

10/13-Stormy Day
From the weather forecast, we knew that 10/13 would be a stormy day; therefore, on 10/12, after work, Stephen went up to the roof to clean up the gutter and leaves, and I found all of our umbrellas. We were ready for and excited about the storm.
10/13 morning, we saw fallen leaves all over the backyard ground; big rain and wind were here! The street was little flooded, but it's not too bad. I needed to carry Hee in few areas when the water was too deep for him to walk by without wetting his shoes. After taking Hee to school, I came home to finish some work, and at 11am, I went to the market to get groceries for this week. ( I have classes on Mon. and Wed, and volunteer at Hee's class on Friday, so I only have free time on Tues. and Thurs to get the groceries.)
Umbrella was not working well on this kind of stormy day because the wind was too strong. On the way from store to Hee's school, my car was out of control for a few seconds (maybe because of the wet road). Luckily, there's no car around me. God was keeping His eyes on me.
Hee and I went home after school, but the garage couldn't be opened..ohh, we had the power outage. Since Hee had a keyboard class at 1pm, I grabbed his music book and drove to the community center and had bread (which I just got from the store) as our lunch there because our stove, oven, and Microwave couldn't work, so we couldn't have hot lunch. Thank God that I went out at 11am instead of 12pm; otherwise, my car wouldn't be able to be driven out of the garage, and how am I going to pick up Hee? Also thank God that I washed the clothes before I went out, so the clothes were washed clean before the power outage. I called Stephen and asked him to report the power outage to PG & E, and we went to the music class, and then we went to pick up Ha.
Hee was so excited to tell Ha that we got power outage, and Ha was so excited, too. Since we were all wet (as I said, umbrella didn't work well on the stormy day), we all took a shower when it's still bright. Then, we took out all the candles (actually, it's better not to use the candles, but for fun, we just used it for a while) and flashlights, and I found a brighter spot for Ha to do his homework. I told him that he needed to do it as soon as possible because it would be dark at any time, and he wouldn't be able to do the work then. It reminded me that Jesus will come at anytime, and if we don't spend our time wisely on the things that God wants us to do, we may lose the opportunity to do them forever. 趁 著 白 日 ， 我 們 必 須 做 那 差 我 來 者 的 工 ； 黑 夜 將 到 ， 就 沒 有 人 能 做 工 了
We got the power back at 6pm, but we still went out to eat and had a candlelight fruit break as planned, and we turned off all the lights to let Ha and Hee use flashlights while brushing their teeth. To me, it's a fun day.

Moon Festival Gathering
This year, our group leader suggested that we could have a moon festival gathering on Sat. , 10/3, so we opened our house and hoped that we could watch the moon in our backyard. However, it was really cold on that day, so we were unable to go to the backyard.
I need to post 2 photos because there were some people got cut off in either one.
And I was not in either one, so here I am! Well, we still missed few people; for example, Hee was too busy at playing to come to the photo section. Of course, we had 2 boxes of moon cakes, but we were too full to eat the moon cakes, so there were still some leftovers.
Adults enjoyed eating and each other's company, and kids played by themselves very well. Now, Ha asked me almost every day: When are they going to come again?

9/26/09: Garage Sale, Old Car show and Aquarium
Every year, Cupertino has a city-wide garage sale in Fall, and this year, it was on 9/26 and 9/27. Our house was not located in the convenient area, and very few people would pass by (unless they got lost), so it's not possible that we could get a lot of "customers". Stephen was more "result oriented", so he didn't like to hold the garage sale; I was more "process oriented", so I enjoyed the process of getting the unused items out , prepared for the sales and putting on the signs; 2 kids were also excited about it and digged out their old toys, and it's a unique experience for them. Since only one people was against the sale, and three people were for it, we had the short garage sale on Sat. from 10 to 12.
As we predicted, there were not many people here, but still, we sold about 4 things for $5.75 in total.
After we had lunch, we decided to go to Monteray Bay Aquarium because we have membership, and we should go there as often as possible to make the money well spent. It's about one and a half hour driving distance from our house, so it's not too bad.
When we went there, we saw a lot of old cars on the street in front of the Aquarium, so I asked one of the volunteers there, and she told me that it's a charitable car show. Even though those cars were old, they all had beautiful and bright engines, and they all looked like new. I guessed that the owners of the cars must have spent a fortune toward the cars.

Then, we went to the Aquarium and stayed till they closed. My camera was out of battery, so I couldn't take more pictures.
