Christmas with family

After we got back from Mexico, we were able to celebrate Christmas with our family...Louis was excited to share his wii with the rest of the family.And it was fun to hear Lou and Louis play trumpet.

Rusty's good-bye!

Rusty was our family pet for 15+ years. Her actual age is debatable (we are not sure how old she was when she arrived... but she was at least 2-3 years old).

She was a mixed dog with a lot of personality. She guarded our front window as if she owns the street and she barked at no one except for the mailman.

I will never forget our first trick-or-treat together... and how she rubs her face when I blow in her ear. All dogs go to heaven... and I know I will see you there.

VOSH California, Mexico

This Christmas, Eric and I decided to do something different. Besides the usual gathering with family, we went down to Jerez, Zacatecas, Mexico to participate in a vision screening co-sponsored by http://vosh-california.org/ and http://www.misioninmexico.com/.

We went down with a team of 13 optometrists, optometry students, and technicians. We were able to see 700+ patients in 3 days and prescribe 300+ pairs of glasses for our patients.

We were hosted by Mission in Mexico and we got to stay at an authentic rancho in Jerez. Here is Eric trying to start a fire so we can get some hot shower water.Before leaving for the airport, we got to tour the gold mine of Zacatecas.

SF Holiday party - Crab night

Before leaving for the holidays, Eric and I decided that it would be a great idea to invite our friends over for a small holiday party--SF style. We were so excited about the crab night but really were not thinking about how we are going to "prep" the crabs... and how to get rid of the smell afterwards... -_- Here is Eric and Sung splashing crab juice all over the kitchen...
