會臺灣的日子 - take 5

These pictures are pretty much in order of how I took them. Enjoy!


Aunt Judy and family:

And while we're all having fun with our antics, poor Auntie is hard at work . . .

可愛的爸爸!

漂亮的媽媽!

Uncle Percy and family:

The youngest Yangs.  Again.

The COUSINS - aka, the WU-YANG CLAN! 

So cute-- all lined up!

By family:
Aunt Judy's kids, Uncle John's, my family, and Uncle Percy's.

Now let's do some brain-exercises-slash-ice-breakers!  Haha.

Line up by HEIGHT:

In order: Cindy, Abe, SuAnn, me (omg, I'm so low on the list), Jeff, William, and Jimmy.  I think Sophia falls between Cindy and Abe (correct me if I'm wrong), and Jon is taller than Jimmy.

Pose, pose, POSE!

TA-DAAAA~~!

會臺灣的日子. . . take 4

Tune in next time for more antics of the Yang clan!

Family - I love you!

Dear Mom--

Sorry I wasn't able to talk today.  I was at the first of two happy hours I went to in one day.  One for work, and then another for TACL (I just got back . . . it's 2:44 a.m.).

Anyway, here are pictures from Taiwan.  Upload take... 3!

Love you,
~J

There really won't be much description today.  I'm too tired and I just want the pictures up.  Besides, there's not much to say.

We went to visit the family shrine.

Betelnut and coconut trees on the way to the family shrine.

Paying our respects.

When will be the next time I come here?

A shrine for the earth god who protects our family.

Sending money to our ancestors.

It kind of sucks to be a girl.  My name does not show up on the family tree because, in the future, I will be "married out" of the family, at which point I (and my children) will technically adopt my future husband's family name.

Sucks, doesn't it?

17th Generation.  At least my brothers' names are there.

I miss all of you.  <3
