A peek into life with the Shinsatos…
For all those that didn’t get to see mom’s slideshow or would like to see it again… I finally put it online. I also posted some video that Jen took… mom arriving at the party and seeing Aunty Mary (her expression is priceless) & Aunty Mary’s blessing.
Kim and I went to the blood bank today to donate blood. While there I found out that this donation brings my total to the 1 gallon mark!
Kim says that I should be getting a pin… I think I’m going to put my pin in Logan’s little hidey-hole. After all, he’s my inspiration for going to donate.
Another thing that I learned (the last time we went to donate blood) is that I’m CMV negative. This means that my blood can be used in the NICU because they only give CMV negative blood in there.
I think that donating blood is the least that I can do to honor Logan. I hope that everyone who reads this takes an hour out of their day to donate blood. It really does make a difference…
Thank you baby for showing me how strong and brave I can be… I hope you’re proud of me. Love you!
Mom Jinbo’s 70th birthday was on November 10th. The rest of the family have been planning a surprise party for her and we actually pulled it off without a hitch. :) Can’t believe that the girls didn’t spill the beans… so proud of them!
She knew that we were planning a small party for her, but she thought that it was going to be next week. To get her to the restaurant for the surprise party, dad told her that Raymond (the owner) had invited them to dinner to taste the food and set a menu.
When she arrived, the expression on her face was priceless. She was truly surprised.
The second surprise was revealed shortly after mom arrived. Dad flew Aunty Mary (mom’s former principal and good friend from when she taught in California) down for the party and she stood in line to give mom a lei. When mom realized it was Aunty Mary… another priceless moment!
Needless to say, the party was a success… mom was surprised, surrounded by 90+ or her friends and family, and the food was oh so ono.
HAPPY 70th Mom!!!
