The winter has been mostly warm during the beginning of the season until finally it snowed one day in January. The snow wasn’t high, but schools including Queen Anne’s County decided to close anyway. Marcell joined Camden for sledding at the K-Mart Stevensville Park and Ride. There were slopes surrounding the parking lot. The place had been a common place for sledding. Marcell also met new friends, Cooper and Jake.
The family portrait session was on November 1st in Kent Island, Maryland. We were so lucky (i.e. blessed) that it was warm on that day, because just a few days before, it was pretty cold.
Steph asked me whether their clothes should be color coordinated. I said that it’s not necessary, but would be better if they could. It turned out that she did a great job picking the colors for the whole family. The colors sure matched the fall season color palette. 
When Mary asked me to be the photographer for Erin and Sean’s birthday last month, I was so excited. I loved taking pictures of children birthdays. I sure enjoyed capturing their happiness, laughter, and all their expressions.

It was actually the first time we went to the carnival. The carnival is held every summer hosted by the Kent Island Volunteer Fire Department. If it was not for promoting our school, KICS, we probably wouldn’t go there. 
No, wait, I take that back. We did plan to go to the carnival, but because of the KICS event, it solidified our plan.
Marcell, met several friends there, and did few rides together. The parents mostly just took them to whatever ride they wanted and watched them. My wife and I enjoyed the funnel cake though. It was always one of our favorite food during carnivals or any outdoor events.
One morning in June, I decided to take Marcell to the Cross Island Trail, which is in Kent Island. A lot of people run, walk, or ride a bike there. It was actually my first time there. Yeah, I know. Shame on me, right? 
Well I had meant to do it since… well, a few years ago… but never got a chance to do it. In other words, never really put effort into making a plan to do it.
It was a spur of the moment decision, but we’re glad we went there. We saw beautiful or strange-looking wild flowers, plants and trees. We heard the birds singing. We even enjoyed the warm sun rays squeezing its way through the tree leaves and branches on that slightly chilly morning.
I was asked by the principal to be the official photographer for the school’s Grandparents Day back in May. It was an honor for me to do it. I did both fun-posed style and candid style (capturing their activity).
After a full week of SAT, the school wanted to give the students a little treat. So they did something a little different. They did the lunch outside and give pizza and ice cream to everyone. Yum! They also had some games right after lunch.

Hey, not too bad. Three blog posts in one day!
Our family went to see the annual Cherry Blossom Festival. It always held around the blooming period of the cherry blossom trees in Washington DC. We then went to meet our friends and had picnic under the trees.
My wife Pat and Marcell at the National Building Museum. Notice the giant pink cherry blossom balloons in the background.
Ugh, it’s been so hectic for me that I barely had time to update my blog. Yes, it’s soo behind. But I really do intend to get it catch up with the more recent events. I’ve been so busy with my business. Which is actually good.
Anyway, here are some images from my son’s birthday. He’s 6 years old now.
This was back in March. It was raining on and off on that day. There were some gusty winds as well. It was unfortunate for us because we had planned to setup a moonbounce. The guy we rented from told us to take down the moonbounce once it started raining. We could get it up again if the rain stopped. We had to take it down and get it up twice that day.
This blog is a journal of my work, my life, everything in between, and the story behind them. :)
