12/22/2004 Update!

Sabrina is standing up by herself and cruising like a champ. In this pix, she is with her sister, Constance (pix is 2 months old). The babies have been really sick lately, so they have not been having that much fun. This month, Paul went to his first chess match and won 2 games out of 5. Dad put up the Xmas tree! Dad has been cleaning like crazy. I have contributed too by recycling old books. My goal is 100 this month (I have thrown out 88 as of today). I have a book that says, "NEW:Covers Windows 3.0" so it has been way past time to throw out books. Happy Birthday to Ho-Kwan today!

Articles that discuss the educational value of blogging abound. http://www.thejournal.com/magazine/vault/articleprintversion.cfm?aid=4677
