Summer 夏天 (xia tien)
Summer is especially brutal in Texas. My hubby and I began a late gardening project and we really enjoyed seeing new baby plants germinating everyday. I have to say, the feeling of accomplishment from gardening is really awesome! Somehow the whole thing was started by Mat and I ended up being the person who waters the plant everyday. Sounds familiar?

Hectic May
Somehow the word has got out and we have been receiving quite a few translation requests from parents who adopted children from the same cities, the two places mentioned the most are Qichun & Baotou city. It's good that more and more parents are aware of our service and are seeking help. We are always happy to help new parents however I know this has also affected the turnaround time of our work. So I really appreciate your patience in this.
Thank you for supporting us and keep the letter coming!

Benefits of the Doubt
Sometimes I wonder how good of a work can a professional translation company offer besides a pretentious notary stamp.
I recently had to hire translation service to translate some documents for me and my husband for immigration procedures. I was quoted $190 to translate 2 birth certificates and when I received the work, the place of birth and date of birth were translated wrong (these are probably the most important parts of the document) and I had to proof read for them. So much for paying $190.
It makes me wonder how accurate can the translation be when you are sending documents that you have no clue about to the so-called professionals. Parents, if you ever have doubts please do contact us. There is no harm of writing to us at no cost to you.
Peace.

祝大家新年快乐，龙年好运！
It's a new year and it's the year of dragon. As usual, I no longer truly celebrate Chinese New Year since I'm far from my family but I long to see them again and enjoy the reunion and laughter together.
To carry on the tradition, I will probably do a small 捞生dinner in my own home and enjoy the good eats with a few close friends. I also want to continue the tradition of 红包for the kids of my close friends because the fondest memory I had as a kid during Chinese New Year was to receive more pocket money.
I wish you and your family would start the tradition by wearing new clothes, red preferably, and visit China Town and watch lion dance with your children. Happy Chinese New Year to you all!
