Shopped in our favoriate store with my girls and spent hours in a booksore reading, playing, feeding the duck. It was dark when we got home with a movies, a new baked chips and cake. Called our friends in DC and mother in China. Watched the movie and dance with girls. Snack and bath girls. Readed books to them in their bed. They insisted me to stay with them till they fall asleep. Laid in bed with one of my baby, put her in my arm singing " mom's kiss " to them which I haven't got chance to do for a while. Angie told me that " i really appreciate that. Mom I love you. Tears out of my eyes and glad that it was dark in the room and my voice was normal as it was tear of touching and joy. Walked to another room to hug him after I kissed goodnite to my babies. My 2009 ended in the music. Very grateful for this past beautiful year. Just wish I had a "XiaoSan".
