Good Eat

Q. Getting kids to eat clean is a big problem. How does one solve this situation?

A. You may never solve it completely, but you start by example. Then only buy the wholesome foods you, yourself, eat. Don't have white flour, sugar, bacon, soda, butter, chocolate and candy in the house. There are healthy substitutes for these. Just put one egg yolk in an egg white omelet and only stock cereals that are sugar-free and whole grain.
If you find your kids spending money on candy and french fries, tell them their allowance will be suspended, and confirm that you are only doing it for their good.
The problem is when they are at school or college and you can't supervise their eating habits. You have no control over what they eat and drink at college. Hopefully your positive influence will kick in once they're away from home.

Miracle

Here's a story of a girl asking for the Miracle that she needs for her brother. Read it below why this one is touching. Thanks to my mother-in-law for sharing this to me.

A little girl went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jelly jar from its
hiding place in the closet

She poured the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Three
times, even. The total had to be exactly perfect. No chance here for
mistakes.

Carefully placing the coins back in the jar and twisting on the cap, she
slipped out the back door and made her way 6 blocks to Rexall's Drug Store
with the big red Indian Chief sign above the door.

She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention, but he
was too busy at this moment. Tess twisted her feet to make a scuffing
noise. Nothing. She cleared her throat with the most disgusting sound she
could muster. No good. Finally she took a quarter from her jar and banged
it on the glass counter. That did it!

'And what do you want?' the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice.
"I'm talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven't seen in ages," he
said without waiting for a reply to his question.

"Well, I want to talk to you about my brother," Tess answered back in the
same annoyed tone. "He's really, really sick..and I want to buy a
miracle."

"I beg your pardon?" said the pharmacist.

"His name is Andrew and he has something bad growing inside his head and
my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle
cost?"

"We don't sell miracles here, little girl. I'm sorry but I can't help you
," the pharmacist said, softening a little.

"Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn't enough, I will get
the rest. Just tell me how much it costs."

The pharmacist's brother was a well dressed man. He stooped down and asked
the little girl, "What kind of a miracle does your brother need?"

"I don't know," Tess replied with her eyes welling up. "I just know he's
really sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can't pay
for it, so I want to use my money."

"How much do you have?" asked the man fromChicago

"One dollar and eleven cents," Tess answered barely audibly.

"And it's all the money I have, but I can get some more if I need to."

"Well, what a coincidence," smiled the man. "A dollar and eleven
cents---the exact price of a miracle for little brothers."
He took her money in one hand and with the other hand he grasped her
mitten and said "Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and
meet your parents. Let's see if I have the miracle you need."

That well dressed man was D Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon, specializing in
neuro-surgery. The operation was completed free of charge and it wasn't
long until Andrew was home again and doing well.

Mo m and Dad were happily talking about the chain of events that had led
them to this place.

"That surgery," her Mom whispered, "was a real miracle. I wonder how much
it would have cost?"

Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost...one dollar and
eleven cents....plus the faith of a little child.

In our lives, we never know how many miracles we will need.

A miracle is not the suspension of natural law, but the operation of a
higher law.

Christmas Gift

We got our son a bike for his Christmas gift. Of course we didn't forgot to get him a helmet and knee pads to protect him. He also got clothes, toy cars, dvd of Barney and Thomas the train. He also got a 4 wheeler from grandma and grandpa.









Here's my son riding his 4 wheeler and bike.

My Son Learns Everyday

Another day for my son and his silliness. On this picture seems ordinary right. Well there is a story behind this pictures. My son here is exploring our bedroom. He climbed up to our bed and decided to jumped up and down and realized that it was fun doing it. So he was doing it for a while and got tired of it and he lie down. It was so cute that he figured out to lifted the comforter and get in to it. He doesn't use blankets or flat sheets when he goes to bed for whatever reason I don't know why he refused to use blankets, that's why I was impressed that he figured this one out. I took pictures of him and showed it to him. Every time I take pictures of him he wants to check it out and he will say wow! He also knows to say cheese now when he sees a camera but the problem is he doesn't know he needs to hold it until the camera flash. He just do it and laugh and that's it. So if I want to take pictures of him I should be ready to capture his smile quick if not I will miss it.

Pictorial

Few days ago I decided to take pictures of my son wearing his red outfit for Christmas. Actually I want him to wear it for his Dad's Christmas Party. He wore this outfit last year and I wanted him to tried it on to see if it still fits on him. The pants still fits but the polo shirt and the vest looks small on him. During the pictorial my son is not cooperating with me. He kept moving and doesn't want to stay still. It was hard to get the shot but I managed to get some cute pictures of him. Check it out below.

My Little Rock Star

Here's a video of my son jammin that night of Manny Pacquiao and Oscar De la Hoya's dream match. I think he will be a rock star someday. He likes to play his guitar and jump up and down. Sometimes he is singing while playing his guitar. The video above is only the small portion of his concert that night. I was too late to video him.
