The year of the bull departs as we welcome the year of the tiger!
How is it possible? Another
wonderful year for the Yeoh’s Winter is still going strong in Minne-
sota as we welcome the new year.
We are so glad that we just had an-
other wonderful year with everyone
healthy (most of the time) and we
were able to add to our family!
Hamilton comes to us in September
from Bigelow, Minnesota. Our new
little bundle of joy weighs about 15
lbs at first but balloon quickly to
about 55 lbs in February. We just
adore him.
Ming Wei follows her big sister and
starts learning piano in addition to
Chinese lessons on Saturdays. She
loves going to Montessori School and
apparently can be defiant at school at
times, we are so proud of her!
Ming Ying finally lost her first tooth!
Her Spanish is getting stronger and
she moves into first grade.
Winston is now eight. While slower
in body, his youthful spirit comes
through when he plays.
As we welcome the new year, we
want to wish you all a happy and
healthy one as well.
Puppy Love In September, after our summer vacation, Boon Siew drove down to Bigelow, MN on the
Iowan border to pick up our new puppy. The name has been picked by Ming Wei—Hamilton
is the name of a cartoon pig she adores. Indeed Hamilton is cute as a cartoon pig, perhaps
even more. Winston greeted him with apprehension but slowly has warmed up to his little
brother. Watching them playing together is gratifying. Ming Ying and Ming Wei play with
their dog brothers so much more now.
These Boots Are Made For Walking We walk and we walk, we seek to see as much
of the world as possible...

A sister can be seen as someone
who is both ourselves and very

kind of double. ~Toni Morrison
