Do you want to sleep in your crib?

That was the question Cassie kept asking the baby after we had finished putting together the new crib from Grandma and Grandpa, "Do you want to sleep in your crib?" I am amazed at the strength of Cassie, and of all women who give up their body for nine months to bring a life into this world. It is amazing. Now that we have a car seat to get her home, and a crib to put her in, I think we are ready for this little girl to come into our lives. The doctor told us that she is getting big. She could come at any time. We are so excited. As for everything else that is going on in our lives...School is going good, we are doing great with our USANA business, and life is great. I noticed today that Hong Kong was having a typhoon 8. I wouldn't mind having to stay in for weather purposes. We surely miss our home in HK! This week I take the GMAT which is ironically the last thing I have to do so that I can officially start the MBA program in January. Most people take care of that first, but I like to do it last. Whatever? Well peace out my friends!

We're Baaaackkk!




After much anticipation we are posting again. Its good to be home. We had a great trip to Bear Lake last week. It's always fun to see family and head out to the lake....One of the fun things about being home is doing all the crazy things that people do as a family. Gentry had the task of asking a girl to the Homecoming dance. He was creative with everything else but all he lacked was the delivery. After eliminating dressing up like Kung Fu masters, or carrying Gentry to the girl's house in a suitcase, we ended with dressing up like mafia gangsters and dropping off the package. I think it worked out.

Another tradition at the Julian house is that we are very competative. The neighbors invited us over for a nice friendly game of volleyball and dessert, and we took it as "We challange you to a duel, Fool!" So we slapped on our Under Armour sweatbands and got ready for the game. Cassie tried to sneak in to one of the games, but I was not about to let our little girl be bumped, set, and spiked. Needless to say she was a quick substitute. We were able to control our competitiveness enough to have a fun time. However, I will just let everyone know right now, that if you challange us, you better bring your "A" game!
