Note to Olivia and Evan

Mommy has been "bad" – hasn't updated this blog for a half year now, the longest I have ever stopped. Although Daddy has told me long time ago to not to force myself to keep up this blog but mommy still feels guilty for not writing for such a long time. Not that I didn't have anything to write about you two but either I felt unsettling from the stress at work to be in the mood to write or I simply didn't have the time even if I was in the mood. You will understand what I am saying when you get older.

Mommy started this blog without big ambition of keeping it going forever as mommy is the kind of the person who tends to add pressure to herself. So I thought I would just keep writing until I lost interests or it became a real burden. It turned out that I really enjoyed recording the stories about your lives.  I realized that this was one of the most meaningful things I could do with my time, even though sometimes I had to "sacrifice" my time watching Asian showsJ, but it was totally worth it as those moments were so precious when I looked back (you would find them precious too when you read them). I knew I would have forgotten and you would never know about them if I hadn't written them down.

Mommy has always thought about this blog, even if I was very busy, I would jot down the things I would like to write on a small notebook. Unfortunately sometimes I was just too busy to sit down and write and after a while, I forgot about the details and could not write about them even if I wanted to. However, realizing how precious these moments are to the both of you after you grow up and to me and Daddy as your parents, even though I may not be able to catch everything I would like to catch, I will keep on trying J.
