Christmas Letter 2004
                   
2004年圣诞节平安信和相关网页
 

Dear Friends:

For some years now, you can usually expect a letter from me at Christmas. This year I still have one for you, but it will have more pictures than words, because much has already been said on my website.

As you will not fail to notice on the photos below, Kevin our grandson (also see Kevin's own website) now dominates our life, for the better. He is our gem, entertainment, and enlightenment. His visits may mean endless chores, but always result in endless joy and fun.

In the year of 2004, Li-qing went back to China to be with her relatives and friends. Hong and Sandy took Kevin to Taiwan. Wei and Maki also visited China and Japan.

I plan on going back too, but that probably will have to wait until my retirement in 2006. I already have a lot of things in store for then, and am looking forward to something more meaningful and productive. Take care and keep in touch.

Yannan December 2004

亲爱的亲友们:

在过去的几年,你们每逢圣诞节都会收到我的一封平安信。今年,仍有平安,仍是平安信,但话少了,照片多了。因为我们的情况,你们随时都已可以从我的网页上看到。

除了各人各自的工作,围绕着我们的日常生活的就是我们的小孙子庄恺恩(另见恺恩自己的网页)。我们看他一天天长大,看他学爬学走学说话。他给了我们无穷的活儿无穷的欢乐。

在过去的这年,丽卿回了一趟国内,从上海到厦门,然后去了龙海漳州惠安福州和杭州,见到了许多日思夜想的亲友。庄宏秀娟和凯恩回了台湾庄伟和麻纪子也回了中国和日本

我呢,还没动,准备等两年后退休才回去。希望大家多多珍重,保持联系。
