Updates













It's been so darn long. LilyRose is doing great. She just finished pre-school and loved it. She can't wait to go back in September. She will go 4 days a week for 2 1/2 hours. Not a long day, but she still loves it. She had her tubes removed on Tuesday June 16th and she did great. She will be a flower girl in my cousins wedding on Sunday. She looks beautiful in her dress. Joseph will also be in the wedding. Mason is doing great too. I am going to start a Family Blog as soon as I find the time to get it going. I will post the link as soon as it's done.

CA & Travel Dates for Mason

We have our CA - Consulate Appointment for March 30 2009. We are leaving for China on March 20, 2009 and returning to America on April 3, 2009. We hope you all follow along. Please go to Mason's blog at www.themiracleofwang.blogspot.com
I am asking for prayers that my son Joseph does not get sick before, during or after our trip to China. As most of you know, Joe has Asthma. Lets hope that he does well. I hope LilyRose will be able to handle 13 1/2 hours on the plane. Wait, lets hope that MOM can handle 13 1/2 hours on the plane.
Also pray that Mason Anthony has a smooth transition to us. I am getting so nervous now that we are leaving in less then 10 days. More later...

LilyRose starts Pre-School & Joseph was nominated...







LilyRose & Grandma

This is the way we go to school






How pretty am I for my 1st day of school



Well, LilyRose starts pre-school today. She was not potty trained for September and I thought we would have to wait until this September to get her in the 4 year old program, but she trained the week of my b'day. I called my cousin Joanie who works in the pre-school and asked her if I could get her in. She said that one of the kids in her class left the program, so there was an opening. I called the district and they told me that they didn't like to take kids this late in the program, but I assured them that LilyRose would do fine. So, they let her in. She will be in the class that my cousin works in and she goes from 12:30 to 3:00 pm Monday, Tuesday & Thursdays. I am so happy for her. She is going to love playing with all the little kids and I think she will be fine. If she cry's, I will be very surprised. I will let you know how she does.

Now, for Joseph. I got a letter from the school a few weeks ago. It seems that Joseph was nominated by one of his teachers for a program called The National Young Scholars Program. The certificate reads "Joseph has been personally nominated to join the nation's highest-achieving elementary school students at the National Young Scholars Program this summer 2009". The sad news is I had to decline it as the program cost $1700.00. With going to China this year, we just don't have it to send him. I explained it to the program director and he said that we could defer it for a year and they would hold his nomination until next summer. I was so happy to hear that as I am super proud of Joseph. So Joseph will be a Young Scholar next summer. CONGRATULATIONS JOSEPH, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!!!!


Well, LilyRose did great today for her first day of school. She looked a little overwhelmed at first, but she gave me and grandma a kiss, a big smile and a wave and she was fine. My cousin said she didn't cry at all and got very into the whole thing. She looked so tired when I picked her up and she was a little clingy at first, but she said she can't wait to go back tomorrow. I am happy and so is LilyRose.

IPod Songs

This is funny, so I thought I would share it with you.

As you know from my previous post, my husband Anthony got me a Yellow IPod Nano and a $15.00 ITunes Gift Card. My niece Christina also got me a $15.00 Gift Card. So the other day I downloaded 30 songs. My son Joseph asked if he could listen to the songs I picked. I took some songs off of his IPod. All of a sudden he starts to make gagging noises. I ran over to him and asked him what was wrong. I thought he was sick from something he ate. No, that was not why he was gagging. It was because of the songs on my Ipod. He scrolled through the list of songs and took the IPod off right away, and told me to never bring it outside the house. I asked him "why"? and he said "people will think something is wrong with you or something if they hear those songs, and it would embarrass me too." I laugh every time I put the IPod on now. My husband listened to it and I think he feels the same way Joseph does. Although he does like one of the songs on it because it was our wedding song.
So I decided to see what you all think of my song choices...
At Last - Etta James (wedding song)
Beautiful - Akon
Beggin' - Frankie Valli
Benny n the Jets - Elton John
California Dreamin' - Mamas & Papas

Can you feel it - Michael Jackson

Christmas Canon - Trans Siberian
Crazy in Love - Beyonce
Crimson & Clover - Tommy James
Do you wanna touch me there - Joan Jett
Don't Stop the Music - Rihanna (joe's pod)
Forever - Chris Brown (joe's pod)
Give Me Tonight - Shannon
I think I love You - The Partridge Family
It's goin' down - Yung Joc (joe's pod)
Just Dance - Lady GaGa (joe's pod)
Live your Life - T.I. (joe's pod)
No Air - Jordin Sparks
Not in Love - Enrique Iglesias
Nothing Else Matters - Metallica
Rie y Llora - Ceila Cruz
Right Now - Akon (joe's pod)
So What - Pink
Sugar, Sugar - The Archies
Whatever You Like - T.I. (joe's pod)
Wild Horses - The Sundays
Wizards In Winter - Trans Siberian

I think it's a great song list. What do you all think?!?
