凌晨登山全員到齊

凌晨5點許,隱約房外已有哭聲,我不想去細究是誰的哭聲,只想多睡一會兒。才動了一下念頭,就聽到牽手的聲音說:「一起去爬山!」
「一定是小孩都起床了。」我心裡想,要不然牽手會自己去登山。為了爭取時間,很快地,全員戴上專業的安全帽,騎上2部親子腳踏車往象山去。
這是我們家第一次全員登山,而且是隨性的。
有勞牽手背著天心,主恩和佳音自己上下山,特別是佳音,這是她第一次登象山,自始至終自己走,很難得;主恩這幾年常和我去登山,已是識途老馬,一路上游刃有餘,還能鼓勵佳音,做個好榜樣。
至於天心,除了在山上玩了一陣子外,都是牽手背著。

Home Ec - making dumplings

Both Joji and Anna love to help cook. A favorite pastime of ours (especially Anna and I) is to watch cooking videos together. I have dreams of them taking over the kitchen by 12, maybe 10 years of age. Here we are, attempting dumplings. Not bad for our second or third try. I was surprised that some of their dumplings actually remained intact in the boiling water.
