Running with Daddy

She just came back from Taiwan a week ago and is having serious jet light problem. She has been waking up at 2AM, 3AM and 4AM like today.
Nevertheless, she caught me few times before I go out and jog. "Would you stay home with grandma?", " No! I want to stay with you." Even that means getting out at 6:30 and jog in winter cold? She really did that. We often start slower and with a smaller loop before I sent her home; then I finish up with a bigger loop.

Elva's drawing; not just coloring. She draw the entire thing based on impression. I saw her doing that in less than 5 minutes.

Father's day picture

Our Church give us photo shot for Father's Day every year.
I held Elva on my shoulder and wonder for how many years I can hold her like that.

Elva Draw

This is a story Elva draw, about a Daddy prince came and saved Elva Princess From a terrorizing Crocodile.

Princess has long hair and Daddy wear a cap like other superhero.
Well, Crocodile looks just like a . . . crocodile.

Elva looks thinner

(the-first picture took at Sweat Tomato Fremont, second one took at Elva's school)

Elva looks thinner recently, she doesn't like to eat meat but I think of ways to lead her into eating some.
And I took her to Sweat Tomato to have a big load up. She like water boiled egg, corn, peas, raisins, cheese, chowder soup and their pizza bread.

The second photo shows Elva was back sliding down from school slide, you can see true happyness from a child's face, she really enjoyed it)

Elva's new Ride

Elva has a new ride, Powered by her Daddy. Ok For commute purpose and sometime pulling her trailer, I added Hill Topper, 250W motor to my bike. Now I can ride to that top of hill easily.

Easter egg hunt

Elva jointed Easter Egg hunt at ROLCC church, she got 4 eggs and a boy gave her one more. Oh, she is good. And I found the last one when we ran through one hill at Lake Elisabeth park. The egg was sitting in deep grass so I guess someone missed it. There were two nice chocolates inside and she got them both.

Run Elva Run

現在我和女兒已經發展一個傳統。每天上學前要和我賽跑約一百公尺。看著她跑在我前面就好像是由我射出去的箭一樣，充滿希望

Even noodle can be so much fun

Just having noodle dinner, nothing fancy; yet we have so much fun. Elva now knows how to scare even littler one.

Hiking with a little Cow girl

We went on a hike toward Mission Peak from OhLone college, We climbed a miles and half before we even turn around. She was on her own feet most of time, impressive. And She really likes cows(see photo), ask me not to eat them . . . but hamburger is OK!

New Park Play
