A Vietnamese-American in Russia

Greetings from St. Petersburg, Russia!

Jenya and I are visiting his parents in St. Petersburg, Russia this week. This is my first time in Europe, let alone Russia, and I am excited to the point of hysteria (much to Jenya's chagrin.)

I will be blogging about my inaugural trip on my personal blog. Check out photos there, too! http://bioworks.typepad.com/bioworks

Happy Father's Day

This poem is dedicated in remembrance of my loving father, Ha Xuan Vinh, and all the inspirational fathers on this special Father's Day Celebration.

How do you thank someone who has given you the moon and the stars? How do explain the deepest feelings of the heart? What could a daughter say when the words don't even begin to convey the gratitude? With so much to express, where do you start? Dad I could spend a lifetime searching for the right words to say to you. The perfect words could tell you how dear you are to me for holding the ladders that reached my own little stars, for catching me whenever I fell, and for encouragement and support. Maybe I'll never find those perfect words, but that won't keep me from trying. All my life, I'll try to express my thanks with each reminder, and every hug- because you give my heart so much joy and my life so much love.----by Laurel Atherton.

We love and miss you,
Allan,Tran (Kristina),Jonathan & Isabella dela Cruz

Graduate: Hannah Tram Anh Ha

I wanted to send "Congratulations" to Hannah Tram Anh Ha (daughter of Ba Ha), who will graduate from Dominican Catholic High School in Louisiana on May 20, 2007. Good luck in your future endeavors!

Isabella and Jonathan's New Photos

Hello Everyone,
Here are Isabella's and Jonathan's updated photos. Allan and I are adjusting well. We are looking forward to meeting our new niece, Katie Anh Squires!!!! We hope everyone is doing well also.
We wanted to pause for a moment in prayer for our loving father, Ha Xuan Vinh, as we approach his one year Memoriam....Words cannot express our appreciation for all the love and support that everyone has provided our loving family through the grievance process. His memory will live on in all of his children (Cathy,Tran, Bich, Quang, John,Hue) and grandchildren (Patrick, Jonathan, Isabella, Olivia, Preston, and Katie)....We truly miss you deeply....

Love,
Tran, Allan,Jonathan, and Isabella
