又到离别时

不知不觉两个星期已经从指尖划过,今天下午送走了广州的三姑和表妹,大姑一家也回了北京,离别终于拉开了序幕。相聚时刻千滋百味总是美好的,离别总是忧思缕缕。

从小生长在一个其乐融融的大家庭里,来自爷爷奶奶,爸爸妈妈和四个姑姑的爱让我成为一个积极的充满阳光的人,这些爱是我成长的动力和精神的寄托,总是认为这个世界上没有解决不了的事情没有过不去的坎。

一家人聚齐后很是热闹,最喜欢的是听四个姑姑唠唠家常,东家长西家短,鸡毛蒜皮的小事对于我来说比电视剧精彩多了;也喜欢看着四个姑父喝点小酒听他们调侃一番;表弟表妹一起聊聊校园的奇葩,交流一下时下的流行;爷爷奶奶的唇枪舌战顺耳听听有时候也会被他们的逻辑所折服。

这次回来唯一的遗憾是没有见到爷爷了。回来之前和在飞机上也在一直酝酿着如何调整自己的情绪,不想大过年的影响家人的心情。一进家门看到爷爷空旷旷的屋子心里还是一沉,尽量把精神转移到其他的地方。直到小姑让我切生日蛋糕了。。。心里的防线彻底崩溃,因为每年的生日蛋糕都是等爷爷到座我才开始切的,第一块也是先切给爷爷的,今年的生日程序大乱。。脑子里面浆浆的不知道想什么呢。直到听到奶奶说了一句把蛋糕先敬给爷爷吧,眼泪才成了断了线的珠子。。

还是把心情整理包装了一下继续过年,直到初八爷爷的周年忌日。一大早我们四辆车一起到了北京郊区的西陵,这里庄严肃穆,没有外界的吵杂。四个姑姑擦拭了墓碑,摆上了贡品,我们开始一一磕头,轮到我了,突然哽咽了,心里一大堆要说的话不知道哪去了,也许人只有这个时候说出的才是最真实最原始的想法,”爷爷,我来晚了“。跪在地上腿有千金重,心里也是千金重。陪爷爷多待了一会儿心里好受一些了,也许时间能够抚平创口。

这次回国总算了结了一年多以来的一个心愿,祭拜了爷爷。完全不相信迷信的我这个时候衷心祈祷爷爷在那边生活的健康快乐,希望他能够听到我们的声音。

Cute kids

My cousin’s baby is 1 year and 3 months, named Moli, a very cute baby girl. Needless to say how cute Lovisa and Olivia are. Very difficult to take a good photo with both of them.

What is really her favorite food in China

That is a really good question! She gets one favorite food every day: sugar coated haws, roasted sweet potato, chestnut, birthday cake…

I guess she will soon fall love with China, or she already is!

She is so lovely that everyone we met will comment on how cute she is. She is usually very shy in the beginning, then she gets along with my relatives and friends quite quick.

Police Visit in China

Today Olivia followed me to our local police station to get herself and Lovisa registered. In the morning I told her the task, she got very excited and can not stop talking that she is a police and Pappa is the thief, hehe.

Since it is Spring Festival, there is not many working there. We met a very nice police guy who actually show us around in different rooms, and where they keep the weapons:)

This is in their conference room, so I can take a photo secretly!

PS: it is quite difficult to take a good photo of Olivia but I found myself very good in making her laugh, isn’t it?

Trip to China

It is exciting and challenging for me to bring both kids to China alone. I started to prepare Olivia three weeks in advance and kept telling her that we are going to travel to China, which means we will be away from Pappa for a while. At the same time, I want her to understand she has to help me to take care Lovisa, or at least cooperate and stay away from making trouble.

I had a great luck that Leifang and William are on the same plane. She has been very helpful with luggage and Lovisa.

At Arlanda. (we talked about hopefully one day we, two families, can travel together in China)

A short while after the plane took off, both fell asleep quite quick. Stewardess was very nice to me and I got the whole line of seats myself. Kids slept on each side of me. Poor me, did not sleep even for 1 second the whole flight. The good thing is when I travel with kids, time went so fast.

After the plane landed, Olivia suddenly vomited a lot. I changed clothes for her, including underwear. It is always smart to bring extra clothes for them. You never know what they are capable of.

We arrived.

I am the last one to get on the plane and also the last one to get off the plane. Olivia behaved really good, walk herself, eat and drink herself, fall asleep herself. She earned the respect from me during the trip. Stewardess thought both kids are so cute that they give one toy each to them, with AirChina’s logo on. Olivia named her toy Ninni.

All in all, the trip is very nice and I enjoyed traveling with them, even though I got very exhausted. I have very much confidence in myself or belief in them, we take care of each other in the trip, they are the best or we are the best as a team!

摄影师(爸爸)心情大好不停的照。

穿好衣服出去了,爸爸建议去了花房,看到了可爱的郁金香,毛茸茸边角的那种。有一间冷花房里面全是鲜花,玫瑰之类的,味道和冷气突然让我感觉到了香港。外面热乎乎的,一进商店就有冷气,心旷神怡的感觉。爸爸和糖宝买了鸟食和盒子,回家准备喂鸟了。

经过半个小时的努力,搞定了,看把两人高兴的

不过快一个星期过去了,好像鸟儿都不饿阿,一个鸟都没有。爸爸整天晚上问今天是否有鸟来了,哈哈。

中国使馆聚会

很荣幸收到使馆的邀请函,也感谢孩他爸可以同时扛起同时照顾两个孩子就寝的重任,今天晚上参加了使馆的聚会。

以前都是白天进入使馆,今天第一次看到夜色中的使馆。使馆外面多了几辆警车和几个警察,显得与背景有些不符。

正宗的中餐,烤鸭,水煮鱼,牛柳,水晶虾仁,这个厨子平时不咋样,今天算了露了一手啊。最让我感到触动的是居然有凉拌芹菜和花生豆,太地道了

和政治部翟主任留影。超级能说的主任啊,短时间内可以洗脑,不愧是搞政治的!
