Mom

One of the people I admire most, my mom: she will be missed -- a humble, gracious, kind, and content woman.  These pictures are like bookmarks.  From the youngest I can remember at grandma's house, to one of our last trips together in Tahoe.

Catching Up

It has been so long since I added to this blog.  The biggest news is my Asia trip with Caleb.  We visited Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, China, and more.  After 18 months in China, Caleb returned and started working in Roseville.

Philip graduates soon, with two majors:  Bioinformatics and Computer Science.

MaeMae has been playing soccer.  She is in 6th grade now and bikes to school.

Elias broke his arm, but is recovering well.  He was playing tennis and soccer non stop.  I was planning to coach his U10 select team, but canceled after he broke his arm.  Suddenly, our schedule is empty.



We took a family vacation to Yosemite for Spring Break.

We also went to Sedona, Phoneix, and Grand Canyon.

A short trip to LA for Anna Lisa's wedding.  As well as couple of days in San Francisco

Among other events, there was Picnic Day, Lake Tahoe, and many trips to the Cabin.

Pearl is working full time again, after a year at part-time.


I started authoring Pluralsight courses.  It's fun and challenging.  After winning the hack-a-thon, then joining Roots, I no longer think starting a code school is realistic.  Instead, I am focused on Pluralsight which is paying well and fun.  It's different type of challenge and focuses me to continuously learn.  I am learning Python now and absolutely love it.



I am buying 4 years of military time from CalPERS.  Now that I am 50, I think of retirement often.

Uncle Ed passed away.  He will be missed.  Uncle John celebrated his 100th birthday.
