Happy Chinese New Year

Today is the kick-off for the 2009 Chinese New Year celebration. We celebrated with Malia's class at daycare. They made lanterns earlier in the day and I went down for their parade through the halls and while the teacher read a couple books about the celebration.



On a sad note, I have had to make the decision to put my dog Rosie to sleep tomorrow. I recently found out that she has kidney disease and she has not been doing well for a while. I have had Rosie since she was a tiny puppy and she is now 13 years old but due to her size I forget how old she is getting. She has been a wonderful dog and has been with me through the ups and downs, while alone and now with Malia. I only pray that she will now be somewhere that she can run and play without the pain that she has been living with.

Going to visit Mickey!

OK, I noticed that all of my other friends get to use their mom's computer to post messages so I wanted my turn. I finally convinced mom to take me to visit Mickey in Florida. She says that things are looking much better at work for being employed with the layoffs and I caught her after a week of terrible freezing cold weather. We leave on Feb 1st for 4 nights. I am excited for my first Disney trip in the U.S. since I got to go to Hong Kong Disney on the way home from China. I will make sure mom takes pictures and video of the trip so we can share with everyone when we get back.
