Ashley & the new iTouch

So I got an iTouch today and Ashley has been playing with it more than me. I download a bowling game from the App Store and she has been addicted to it. Check out this new shots of her playing with the iTouch. I figure I use her enthusiasm to take some close-up dark shots of her. Out of all the shots I took, I like the first one the best.

Alyssa's 1st Birthday (the lost pictures, now recovered)

I forgot to upload Alyssa's 1st Birthday Pictures. So when I went to download them from my memory card, guess what? It said my memory card was not formatted and Windows asked if I wanted to format the card. For some reason the memory card got corrupted and I thought I lost all the photos. To my relief I found a program from Lexar that allows for the recovery of corrupt data on memory cards. This program is a life saver. So if you all are in the same boat I recommend this program. It normally runs for about $40, but if you click on the link below, it will send you to a page from Lexar to download the program for free. It works on all memory card types, and is especially design for retrieving photos.

To get a free full version of Lexar Image Rescue 3 software, just follow the few simple steps below.

1. Go to this page http://store.lexar.com/imagerescue3/.

Enjoy the award-winning image recovery software that provides easy, reliable recovery of your valuable photos, and has been trusted by professional photographers since its introduction for FREE. It worked for me.

Sing Ma Club Chinese New Years Dinner

Here are some pictures of us at the Sing Ma Chinese Dinner at Emerald Restaurant. They had a live lion/dragon dance that the kids enjoyed. The first couple of shot is the album are of the Lucky Salad that each table got. We mixed the salad and tossed it as high as we can. Then we had a celebratory cheer ringing in the New Year.

For Chinese New Years we went to the Temple on University Ave near my parent's shop. The kids got to see the Dragon Dance performance and we ate the vegetarian food the temple was passing out to attendees. This is the year of the Ox. Enjoy the pictures of the family.

Rufus and Daisy

I have been very busy lately and should have posted these pictures awhile back. I have more pictures that will be posted shortly, but for now enjoy the pictures of our two new Yorkie puppies Rufus and Daisy. Alyssa loves playing with them while Ashley is a bit more reserved around them.
