Farewel 2007, Happy 2008 New York

Another year in New York is about to come to an end


my 13th time since I came to US


Morgan, Lee, Debbie... our old faces cuddle up in our old place, with 7 dishes cooking for 9 people! Happy New Year, I pass out well before midnight, exhausted from joy of cooking.

wrapping gifts in Charleston, SC

Erika sews her Christmas gift for her brother and sister


take a break!


by the lake


where Captain Keith teachs Toshiro how to sail


wrapping the gifts can get very creative


Bowman sisters sing Christmas Carol


'I'm distracted.' says Christin, putting her headphones on


next morning the family gather around the tree
