week of 01-21 thru 01-28

 I have a friend who sends out their updated email every Sunday night.

That made me realize how rarely I get to talk to my parents nowadays.

I'm such a slacker that I'm so bad at keeping the blog updated regularly..

But I will try this year to be better with this.

I promise!

OK, this week, I went to "PECS trainings" on the 22nd and 23rd.

PECS is a way to communicate with children who are non-verbal using pictures.

I've known this method but didn't know exactly how to use them.

A guy who invented this method came from Baltimore and trained all the teachers in Bid Island.

I was invited to join them as a parent and I learned a lot.

Friday, we all went to Kona Temple where the kids had childcare by our ward member family so Ian and I got to go there by ourselves.  We were able to sit together and pray/meditate. Had a wonderful time.

Saturday, we went to few garage sales and spend half of the day at a beach called "A-Bay".

This beach's ocean has a pretty light greenish blueish color. I love the contrast of that color and the black lava color. Beautiful. 

At night, we went to our friends' house for dinner. We all had a great day.

Today, Ian got sick. He had nausea, chill and fever! 

Hope he gets well soon.
