New baby, new hope

Everything is just coming right along. The onions and peppers look quite happy also. That Goji bonsai is just beautiful, Jianhua. Best Regards to you and your family....Moon

Jianhua, Chang is a beautiful baby and looks to be strong like Dad. That garden looks great, I couldn't make one look that good even when I was able lol. The good Lord will look out for you and your family just keep the faith.

Now son's 3 months old.
He looks more lovely.

Jianhua, Chang is certainly growing. Such a serious expression for a little one....grin He is getting cuter with each new picture. How is the Garden growing?

Hey Jianhua. wow long time and did not know you has new 2nd baby that, I cant believe your first son already pass 20 years old wow already and I remember I sent you a box full of candies when he was little boy. LOL.

themoonhowl, 'cuter' is the right word for my little son.
Each day I will have a gentle kiss to the baby, saying mooma...mooma.
So happy to have a baby to play with.
Now my baby can say 'ma,ma' with a rising tone,and 'ho,ho' subconscienciously.
REDROSE, long time no see. You are on my mind all the while.
Eight years ago right in DG, we met often and chatted a lot. now DG is becoming far larger, so our meeting is less than before. But our friendship is rooted. Hope everything yonder is okay. I am glad to hear that youare going to be a grandma.
As you guessed right, still teaching high school is my career to making a living.
Here everything is all right, thank God's great blessing. My elder son is at college. When he finishes his studies, he will go outside to meet the world on his own. By financial support is necessary if he needs it. As a matter of fact, 2/3 of my income goes for my two kids. Like doing so, for the kids are a main part of my life.

He is a fine little boy, Jianhua. And I agree, children are the mainstay in our lives. Both sons are fortunate to have you as a father.

How so?
A completely different new world.
My 100-day-old baby might be thinking so
After seeing his first snow on earth.
Last Thursday we met a snowstorm,
Which is said the biggest one in the last few decades.
Adults were smart enough to hid themselves indoors,
But for kids, things were quite different.
They seemed found a paradise --
Playing snow games, making snowmen,
And even my baby son cried for outing.

How so? Simple....You are proud to be their father and you love them and are willingly making sacrifices for them.Your words about them carry love and respect for them....Bowang and his tiny brother Bochang will have hearts full of love and honor from your good example.

BoChange is growing quickly and is still so cute and sweet. We were blessed in April with our third grandson, Ethan. He lives in Australia....so far away.

Aw, so cute...Jianhua..what are you feeding that baby...he is growing so fast..and sweet...The moon...wowow cute..new baby...I can smell them now...I love babies..lots of work there...for sure...

And Jianhua..this is the first time ever..in all our 8 years..you got snow before we did..wowow...what does that mean?...That winter will be mild or harsh?...well it is nice here...for sure..can stay that way till April...But that is not possible..it is Michigan so you know..what tomorrow will bring..

Thanks for the pic...u two...loved to see...

smiles...and waving...Diana...

He was about 45 minutes old Diana.....and 17,000 miles away. Fortunately we got to go see him 6 weeks later. Thanks

wowow...new new..for sure..very alert..for sure..how nice you got to see..as early as that..world traveler?...lucky you..

smiles..happy day everyone Diana..

Thanks. His Grandma is just terrified of flying, but no way I wasn't gonna get to hold him....grin

Jianhua, hello to you and your wife.
Bochang is the picture of a happy well cared for baby. Love his cheerful outfit too. He appears so content and his photos continue to bring me the biggest smiles. Thank you for sharing them.

Congratulations Moon! Ethan is beautiful! Did you give him a squeeze for every mile traveled? ^_^ 17,000 miles, round-trip??!!!

One way, Angele...and I gritted my teeth the whole way....grin. Thanks so much, and yes I held him as much as his little body could tolerate...grin. When I had to put him down, I held his big brother Aidan, who is 4 now.

How cute! Did you make the crown for him? That brought back some memories from my childhood

No, that was his Mom, my daughter. This is Aidan now. He just met his new little brother.

Sorry, Jianhua, I did not mean to hijack your thread.

Cute cute..wowow...kids are great..for sure..smiles..Diana...

I feel the love on this thread! Thank you Jianhua for the update on your beautiful family. It makes my heart swell to see a father so devoted and caring. Moon your grandbabies are precious too Thanks for sharing

Everyone is warmly welcome to this thread. And I am so happy to share with you.
Now I have a firmer belief that being with kids means being with happiness.
themoonhowl, yours are even cuter than mine with bigger noses (for a Chinese kid, the nose is relatively small, hehehe). Ethan, the name sounds just like the Chinese word DOCTOR,while Aidan, it means lovely kid, so these two name given are universal both in the west and in the east.
Just a couple of days ago, we met with a snowstorm, which was not expected. Media say it might be the biggest one in the last few decades. Roads were blocked and electricity power was cut offf for two days. Tree branches fallen down by heavy load were seen lying on the ground everywhere. it caused great damage. but kids did not care about it. They seemed to be joyous than ever, playing outside merrily with their little hands reddish like the buds of ginger tubers. My secondborn little one loved seeing the new scenery, and for not once he was ahaha-ing for outing. Here is another picture while he is enjoying the whitesnow world.

Jianhua, Chang is just so sweet, he makes this grandma's heart smile as my little grandsons do. Sorry you are having such bad weather, but you are right, the children are not troubled by such things. Thank you for your kind words about my little ones, to me all little ones are precious and lovely....smile

Awww so cute and outfit too wow snow over there it had over here last year snow but not much.

Since I have no daughter under my knees, I just regard this little son as my true daughter. I tell Wife , saying, decorate him with flower-like outfits and call him Niuniu (gal). hehehe
Much to our surprise, the little one can now call Ma clearly, and communicate with us in the simple word Ho-Ho. I am thinking now from baby to kid and to boy won't take a long time.
My two sons are my priceless treasures,and nothing on earth can take their place.

This is my son Bowang at college

And again my son Bowang hosting an evening party with his schoolmate at college.

They do grow up so quickly...it is both a joy and a sorrow....grin Bowang has grown to be a fine handsome young man. It will not be too many years before you and your wife are loving grandbabies....grin

This is my number one grandson, Jordan. He has lived with us since he was 2 years old. We call him our generation bridge.....half son, half grandson....grin

Jianhua your family is very handsome indeed. I see a grandaughter in the future from son Bowang. Moon Jordan is very handsome too and looking very much like a man now.

Already 15 and growing so fast....think Great Grand motherhood lurks in the not so very distant future...LOL Thanks Flowers, I think he's pretty special.

Nice picture of your older son nice looking man.

A very handsome Number 1 son too!!! Jo

Moon, Jordan your generation bridge is a handsome young man now. Wonder if he got a gal? My son Bowang did not yet. We parents comment that he just fixes his eyes upward. Maybe we will have to wait for another few years to see his other half. These days parents are hard to read their sons' hearts.
As I told WantbeGardener, we have not met big snow for quite a few years. This is strange, but this year so early that we met two big snows, and we have to have the air-conditioner running all the night. These days we are warned of the swine flu, so for the sake of safety, I tell wife not to go outsidewith the baby among the crowd. The vaccine against H1N1 virus is limited in number, and so far only we teachers got the injection.

Hi Jianhua, good day to you. No, Jordan does not have a girlfriend....he is a bit shy, and that is okay with me....grin We want him to learn to be a friend first and know respect for young ladies. He has many years ahead to have a girlfriend....patience, friendship and respect....then he will be ready to be a boyfriend. smile

I think Bowang knows those things and has his eye on a good education first....(good teachings from his parents). One day he will be blessed with a good wife, a good life and a sweet little one.

H1N1 is showing up here too. Our state has had over 30 deaths and vaccine is not available for all yet. Wise to limit Bochang's exposure to the outside. Good thoughts and best regards to you all. Jean/Moon

I just wanted to take a moment to wish Jianhua a very happy Birthday. I hope your day is full of happiness and many happy surprises. Best regards to you and your family.

Happy Birthday Jianhua.

Best Regards, Jean/Moon

Happy birthday Jianhua! Wishing you & your family a happy, healthy and prosperous year ahead.

Any new pictures of Bochang you can share? ^_^

Sending Baloons and whistles along with sweet Birthday Wishes to you too Jianhua! Give us an update on family when you can.

Happy, Happy Birthday...and I too would like to see new pictures of Bochang and family. Jo

Situation normal here - a day late and a dollar short! Belated happy birthday greetings to you, Jianhua! I hope you had a lovely day. :)

Thank you all for your kind greetings!
Due to busily taking care of my little son, I am belated to answer you.
Everything is alright here.
My big son has been home from college for the winter vacation.
My little son is more lovely. He seems to begin to understand things around him.
Here is a picture of my little son.

He is really growing!! Thanks for the picture of this cutie! Jo
