2024 Season's Greetings from the Tarns

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to our family and friends.

We have done a lot more traveling in 2024.  Our trips include:

• Feb 2024 - Morocco Land Tour & Princess Mediterranean Cruise
• May 2024 - Oregon and California Trip
• Jul 2024 - Mexico Trip with Jeff’s Family
• Aug 2024 - Glacier National Park & Waterton National Park
• Oct 2024 - UK Trip (Edinburgh, Scotland and London, England)

We also made a short trip to California in Aug 2024 to visit Fei’s sister Ying and Tony’s brother Terry.  Jason’s family went to California to visit Jeff’s family and also brought back Benjy and Lucy to Houston to spend a couple of weeks with us. In September, Fei had her annual get-together with her good friends Mimi, Helen and Alice in Palo Alto, Ca.

We met with Tony's sister Jia-sun when she came to Houston to visit her daughter Maggie.  We also got a chance to catch up with our BGSU old friend Ken when he came in town to visit his brother. We also met with Fei's cousins when they came to Houston to visit the Rice University which they went to when they were here many years ago.. 

News for our family in this year were:

• Benjy started Senior High School 
• Lucy started Junior High school
• Talia became a stronger and better volleyball player
• Maisie is 4 years old now and started pre-school
• Fei and Tony started to work out at gym regularly
