Looks like lots of fun!
Hi, J & J
I am moved with your words when you mentioned that day you interviewed the job here and heard Christmas will not be a bid deal but that’s what you expect.
Thanks for both you do here, especially that song we did together in Church,
God bless you

Hi, Ron — I’m Joel’s father … thanks so much for posting these to YouTube — J & J are far away from us this year, and I really appreciate seeing and hearing them this way.
Joel — nice to see & hear you with a guitar in your hand again ;-)
Jessica — nice to hear you singing again, too ;-)
hi, 老熊
now I know you are Joel’s father, you must be proud of Joel and Jessica. They’ve done so wonderful things.
you probably know we have a website sharing with friends,

you may see many photos there.

It’s neat to see the traditions of different countries coming together. Do Chinese people really wear those Santa Hats for Christmas, or is that your North American touch?
Jessica, I really like the blouse you are wearing in the pictures–beautiful! It looks like you guys had a lot of fun! Oh, nice mini Christmas tree! It’s good to know you made the effort. You have two cats now!? I guess that shows how long it’s been since I have looked at your blog!
I have noticed a lot of people holding up two fingers in pictures–does that mean the same thing in China as it does in the States (Peace)? Just wondering.
You know, I don’t know what that means. Maybe, “I’m cute!” But the two finger thing is getting passe. The teens and young people have a bunch of different gestures they do in pictures. And the girls do it more than the guys. In these pictures I think Chong-en (bass player) and Wen-di (wearing the apron) may have been joking.
