Carson infuses his own sense of style into the Tsai household. As part of his lineman training regimen, Carson dogpiles and charges anything in his path.
Carson’s vocabulary is gradually expanding after the year’s adenoid surgery and speech therapy sessions. For now, he is content identifying every “gok” (truck), “gus” (bus), and “choo-choo” on the road: entertaining for the first two minutes of any road trip.

Jaden transitioned from a Montessori preschool to a public kindergarten this year. The education has helped him be more adept at writing and drawing. Following in his father’s footsteps, Jaden enjoys having a unique and quirky sense of humor (see his Super Chicken Halloween costume)
Extracurricular activities included a sampling of basketball and another season of Under-6 soccer. More dragonflies were ignored, and Jaden managed to dribble soccer balls close to the right goal this time around.
In a shocker to the family and the school district, Julie’s years of teaching came to an abrupt halt due to budget cuts and a technicality. Four months of unemployment were followed by a part-time substitute position, allowing Julie to reconnect with students, colleagues, and the classroom for the year. The job hunt process continues in Winter 2010.
On a bright side, Julie completed her first triathlon in June. The months of training, along with other competitive running events, added to a very fit year.
George began Creekview Ranch Middle School’s second year with all major facilities open. Budget, politics, and academic improvement now replace startup and construction issues to keep George on his toes.
George’s summer nights of studying allowed him to pass the bar exam. Not quite attorney material, but he can now add mixology to his repertoire. The bartending hobby has expanded the Tsai cabinet extensively and awaits your visit.
