Dear Family and Friends,
As most of you know by now, Cindy gave birth to Ava Christina on Saturday May 23rd here in Taiwan. The baby was 9.1lbs! 4.12kg! And it was a very painful birth for Cindy. After the birth, everything has been wonderful. The hospital stay was the best we've ever experienced with a great doctor, nurses and staff. The nurses liked Ava so much that they took 40 different pictures of her with different stuft animals. I put all 40 pictures into a video. It was hilarious (See 2nd video below). I got to stay with Cindy for a few days in the hospital and my only job was to deliver pizza to Cindy whenever possible ;) The food in the hospital wasn't so bad though. Cindy actually liked it. I haven't had time to do a lot of photo or video editing but I wanted to get something posted so all can see our new baby girl. She's been a great baby so far and we feel incredibly blessed with the support we've received from friends.
Love,
Ted and Cindy

Dear Family and Friends,
Year before last, Grandpa Ted was kind enough to loan us a very nice piano keyboard. Sophie has been using it to learn to play for a little less than a year. She had her first piano recital on Saturday, May 9th, so you can check out the results of Grandpa's gift and Sophie's practice.
Love,
Ted and Cindy
