Light January

January was light on pictures, with Renee back at Rice and Max focusing more on his study for college applications.
We all went with Renee for her flight back to Houston. I shared with her that my feeling of independence started when I travel back to the school during my first winter break in college.

I went with Max to North Star for an overnight trip.

We found really good black diamond trails and enjoyed them greatly.

December: Remembering My Mom

In December, after fighting cancer since 2019, my mom passed away. I made my third and final trip of the year to China to send her off. Next June, our whole family will travel together to lay her to rest with her family, in the town where I was born.

These trips gave me a lot of time to think about when we lived together. Time goes by so fast. It makes me want to hold onto the moments I have with my family here even more.

Here are the pictures of the kids during the month, including our family trip to Taiwan.

Thanksgiving Break with Renee Back

Renee is back from college for Thanksgiving break! We enjoyed our time together and visited The Land's End

Renee got some cool shots with her activitiy in the Rice dance team during the college sports events

We visited the Land's End, all wearin in purple.

After enjoying some clam chowder at the Fishermen's Wharf, we visted theme stores nearby, including this "It's Sugar" store, claiming to be the world's largest candy department store.

We visited this Christmas tree that we used to visit often when they were younger.

We had to stop on our way back to charge the car. While waiting, Renee and I went out for a walk, and found this cool playground with a toy surfbord.

Max saw the picture and immediately came over to try it out as well.
