Why the long silence?

I feel the need to explain why I haven't been blogging lately, since it turns out that I do have readers to this blog and some of them asked me why there's not much going on in my blog. Actually there's a lot going on around here and that's why I lost track of time.

First of all, it's "tax season"! I've been busy at the office during weekdays and coming home I just want to sit back and relax and play with Michael. Then there's American Idol on TV three nights a week - well, that's enough to keep me away from computer. In between we had some celebrations: Chinese New Year on the 18th and Michael's birthday on the 20th.

Weekends is another story ... It's kitchen remodeling time! It's been 5 weekends since it started and believe it or not it's almost done. The only thing left to put on is the countertop and sink which we are going to order this weekend. I can use the kitchen now with just plywood countertop until the real countertop is ready. This week I am busy putting back all my kitchen stuffs. And for me it's a whole lot of fun!

Those are my excuses. I am also holding up on putting pictures of the kitchen until it's ready. Just wait and see.

Little update on family life:

Michael has been enjoying his new "Putt-Putt Enters The Race" which he got for birthday. Since it is a new game, there are stuffs he hasn't figured out yet. The cute thing is: once a while we'd hear him saying to himself, ".. think, Michael, think.. think.." as he encounters some problem. (Just like when Jimmy Neutron is about to get a "brain blast"). Then he would patiently find a way to figure out the game. I guess he gets a "brain blast" too, cause he hardly asks for help except for the really difficult ones. I think he's having a lot of fun with this new game, and we are having fun watching him, too.
