6月26日 Church Online Forum Set UpUsing some of my "vacation" time, between the cryings of Caleb and my snorings, I finally set up the forum page for our church. It is www.valleychinese.org/forum. 6月24日 Mom is a blessingMom is staying with us these daya, taking care of all three of us. She arrived after Caleb was born but it actually allows her to maximize her time with us after Daisy's birth.
She is taking care of our daily meals as well as giving us advices on how to nurse Caleb. We cannot thank God enough for her being here. My family in HK spent time and money in making her trip possible and we are grateful too.
Mom is a soccer fans. These days, the Hispanic TV channel serves her needs of watching FIFA very well (I don't have cable). I am amazed how well she recognizes the players (mind you, she doesn't know English or Spanish), their names, which professional teams they are serving, etc. Her favorite teams are France, English, and Brazil. Michael would have good chats with her on the England players!
Also, I took a picture of her with the beautiful sunset one afternoon. 6月21日 Caleb is two weeks oldI can't imagine the marathon has already been two weeks since his birth!
He has gained weight, that's good.
Been shot at many times while changing diapers... He can shoot far!
Yesterday tried his first bath. Not very successful. All three of us struggled (in different roles) but we will do better next time. Below is the aftermath of the battlefield. 6月20日 Why we picked the name CalebThere was a question why we picked the name Caleb. Caleb in the Old Testament was one of the twelves spies sent to survey Caanan before they conquested the Promised Land. Caleb and Joshua were the only two who gave positive reports based on their faith in God. (Numbers 13:17-14:10)
"But My servant Caleb, because he has had a different spirit and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land which he entered, and his descendants shall take possession of it." Numbers 14:24 NASB (see also Numbers 32:11-12; Deuteronomy 1:36; Joshua 14:9, 14)
6月18日 Father's DayToday is the Father's Day. My first. Reflecting on the new fatherhood since the birth of Caleb, I am thankful for it would have been worse 10 days ago. It would have been mournings instead of trumpets. All in all, God is faithful in all these.
As I said all along, I am not ready for fatherhood. However, I have to be a father first to learn to be one! I need to improve on patience. When the baby cries, he doesn't care you are the President of U.S.A. or Michael Jordon. You just need to work with him and take care of him.
Then I realized our Heavenly Father is even more patient on me. Time after time I made Him angry but He still loves me. Praise the Lord!
Here concludes my capricious thought on the Father's Day. It's a boy!All praises to God! Caleb was born on June 7th, 2006. This beautiful life arrived not without trial and tribulation but as John 16:21, these sufferings are no longer remembered.
Immanuel,
Diaper King. |
