HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Joe is "attending" a New Year party in the first photo I posted. :) Everybody is chatting with him over the phone! Joe's blood draw results on Friday showed that his counts are still low, especially his neutrophils. So we're playing it safe this year and celebrating at home. We have some sparkling grape juice ready and waiting for the Pittsburgh New Year ball to be RAISED for 2007!!!!

I haven't posted in a few days. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see much of Albert before he flew back to Boston. He got some kind of bug after Christmas, so he was banned from our house for a few days! We got to hang out with Albert and Mamma on Thursday for a bit though, and that was nice.

On Saturday, we had lunch with my parents and Victor at our house. Then Joe's family came to visit with Joe's cousins. In the evening, we had dinner at Joe's parents house. It was a wonderful meal, and the company was great too. We were laughing all evening!

This is the week! It is just crazy to think that Joe will be admitted to the hospital on Wednsday. He looks great and he feels great. It would be all to easy too ignore what is going on inside his body. That is not an option though. We just keep reminding ourselves that God is in control, and we're placing our trust in Him.

Thank you to the Pittsburgh Taiwanese Bible Class for gathering together to pray for Joe last night.

Thank you as well to my relatives in Taiwan who are all praying for Joe over the new year, headed by my 5th Great Uncle. We appreciate all the prayers we can get!

Thank you to the Liangs for the thoughtful gift. We are so appreciative. Thank you to Sha and Louis for the exotic chocolates! The directions for tasting are priceless!

This week was a week of celebration for a lot of people!!!!!!
Happy HAPPY anniversary to Jimmy & Suann and John and Carole!!!!!! We hope you beautiful couples had a memorable anniversary!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Sim, Myra, Erica, and Brian!!!!! And a special NEW YEAR birthday to Joanna!!!!!!! Happy celebrating. :)

Wishing everyone a happy, healthy, 2007 full of memories, learning, and growth.

God bless!
