And I'm looking forward to one day, everytime I greet you, you can greet me back 'Cindy JieJie' or 'Cindy' is OK. DONT call me Ayi btw. haha... it's fun seeing you growing up... Talk to you later Henry!

Wonderful family, Luke...

Henry is sooooooooo cute. I like the way he is reading the book in one of his pictures. Does he play drum too? I am impressed by the way he is holding those sticks.

Lots of love from me.

Howdy young fella, you are getting bigger each time your dad takes a photo. Looks like you were having a fun time with your uncle Ben. Wish i could be there, guess we will have plenty of catching up to do when you get here. Love to your folks. Uncle Tom

Hey there little fella, you are really looking sharp now you are over one year old. We'd say intelligent, funny, happy and bright as a button. It's a good thing you mum and dad know what a treasure they have. We hope to see you in the not too distant future.

Love Gran & Grandad

Happy Teachers' Day,Dear Luke!

See what a sweet family you have!And Best wishes to little Henry!
Sophomore year makes me suffer more indeed,hah,especially the speech and debating lessons,which give me so many butterflies.Maybe more practice will help.

Remember me to dear Sally.I'm from Hunan,too.

HELLO !!The happy faimly !!

Dear first great-grandson, welcome to our world! You are part of a very large family, some old, some young, and all with interesting characters: we all look forward to meeting you in time.
Looking back on my long life I have tried to write down my philosophy of living correctly, and it would please me if you could follow these guidelines ...

On a philosophical note we must study and learn from the great leaders of different civilisations, civil and religious, through the thousands of years of the past. We must show tolerance and compassion to all faiths because there should be only one goal - that of self-enlightenment and truth. This means we must always live in a non-violent manner and promote peace and harmony.

On a practical note remember the modern American phrase "winners never quit and quitters never win", for that will promote a positive attitude throughout your life.

On a spiritual note live by the rule "know thyself" and try to love people; if everyone could live this way then all humans would become one enormous family. Then, when you finally leave this life for another you will have become a wise and gentle man.

With very much love from your Great-Granny XXX.

Hi Luke,
What I love to say is WOW ! What a wonderful place you have set up for the
lovely baby, what a romantic life you pair are enjoying! I'd like to see the little fella growing up here day by day with my wife Wendy.
You are doing a good job ,and keep going on.

Howdy young Henry,its been 10 months since you've been born and this is the first time ive managed to get to a computer that will post my entry!! I normaly use the librarys computers so i have managed to keep up to date with how you are progressing and what kind of reaction you are having to those olives?!!
Im your dads oldest brother and am quite clearly the fattest, i havent allways been so monstrous but over time and with alot of hard work ive finally got there.
We have met but this was during my second trip to China and on this time you were still in your mothers tummy, the conversations we had were wonderful and i appreciate all the advice you gave me about the correct fetal position,next time im in the womb i will have to check it out(cheers for that).
Im currently using your other uncles computer at the moment,you will understand over time that we are a very close family and its going to be alot of fun getting to know you.
Ive gotta go now as i should probably eat something.
Lots of love to your mum and dad and to you nephew. xxx Uncle Tom

Dear brother Qi Lin, today is your 10-month old birthday, happy birthday to you. Sally mummy and My mummy are very close friends. we see each other when we're both in our mummy's body. Tomorrow is also my 5-month old birthday, I am so happy to grow up. Hope we can be very good friends in the future.
By the way, best regards to Sally mummy and Luke daddy.

Hi,Henry,I met you twice ,and see how quickly you grow and how clever you are.You are the child who leaves a deep impreesion on me:Handsome,smart,
lovely....hehehe,I love you so much ,
and I believe you will be the happiest and smartest baby because of your parents' good care and your talent.
I think next time whenI meet you ,you can start to speak and tell me :a yi,you are so beautiful,hahaha...

Hi Henry. I am Allen, your parents' friend. You haven't met me and know me yet, but I know you for long. When your Mom was pregnant, I was sure that you will be a very lovely and pretty baby. And after the time you were born, your Mom away email to me photos of your different periods, you are a little handsome boy just like what I image.
I'm looking forward the time to meet you and your parents, Hope you will grow up healthily and happily! I am also waiting for the time you can call me Uncle and the time you can read what I have written and rewrite to me.

Hi Henry, you don't know me yet, but we have met before! Last time I came to Beijing you did not come out to play. This next time will be different, I will come in September probably on the train up from Shanghai on the 10th. You can show me around, the places you like to hang out, your favorite restaurant. (I hope it does hong shao rou as both your parents know its my favorite and being 1/2 Hunanese i'm sure you like it too). Ok, see you soon, let me know if you would like anything bringing over from Germany!

Wow~~Fantastic!!
I finally saw the baby!!!
He's so cute~~~
I cannot wait to have one like him~~~
It's gonna be of lot of fun to have a baby as cute as Qi Lin~~

Hi Little Henry, you look more and more handsome, not only lovely. I will realize my dream to give birth to a girl as your girl-friend, ha ha, don't forget it. Besides, I admire you have such a great dad, who even made a special website for you. It's a very nice home. Wish all of you will be happy forever.

Hi Henry - we think your parents' website is great. Now we can watch you grow up even though we are thousands of miles away right now. We miss you all very much. Lots of love, Gran & Grandad.

Stay strong!

Hi Luke!

My lovely baby,

I have left you and your daddy for ten days. It feels like a long long time. Your daddy has told me that you like to talk and are very interested in communicating with people. I can't wait to see that.

Love you deeply
Mummy

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for all your messages, Henry will love them. Keep them coming!

hi, i am kuang shuwen, long long time no see. it's so interesting to see you three especially little Qiling, thanks, haha..........

Hi there, It's a good website, and it's really meaningful for little Qinlin. The lit babe is soooo lovely and beautiful. I still remember the days when we(sally and I)studied in the library. Sally, you were a hard working student, but now you are a wife and a mum of a cute boy. It seems that I have a lot to catch up, hehe. Really happy for you guys!

Hey there Captain, Captainette and Cappuccino!

What a cool site, looks great. Hope you're all well and looking after yourselves.

Ben

Hi all 3 of you,

I just browsed through the website, it's well done, Henry is really cute.
I just got really interested to create a website, if I find the time and right theme...

Hope you are alright, a big hallo from London!!

What a start to life to have a bi-lingual cool website in your honour. I was fascinated by "The legend of Qi Lin".

Good luck for the future.

Hi, Luke, Sally and Henry.

Just finished my work. Come to have a look and say hello here.

Best wishes.

Bill

O nascimento do lindo Henry trouxe uma lufada de ar fresco à minha vida! Há muito tempo que não tinha um bebé tão pertinho! E sabe tão bem! Às vezes conversador, às vezes irritado, outras com vontade de dançar... assim vai crescendo (rapidamente) o "nosso" Qi Lin.

Beijinhos para a família Holden.

[One day Henry will translate these words for all of you, ok?]

Lili

Tomorrow is a new day...may Qi Lin be blessed each of his tomorrows and may he always live up to his parents expectations...to be an individual...to have goals and to be able to focus concentration and enjoy life fully...he's a beauty of a baby...don't spoil him too much...I wish I could give you some useful advice, but
I think you and Sally both will do well in the parenting effort. I hope to get the chance one day..in the meantime I would settle for being a superstar in Shanghai or just a star...actually I want the supernova thing but only if its God's will...have to keep the ego in perspective.

Hi Luke, Sally and Qi Lin - The website is very good Luke, easy to navigate and some suprises for me, I was especially pleased with the photographs and will endeavour to post a decent photo' (if I can find one) of Sheila, Daniel and me. I loved the photo of the 3 bros!

love Dave
