Yueyin,
Congratulations on your two new grandbabies - two more bundles of joy arriving in the year of the dragon! You and your wife as grandparents must be delighted.
Being healthy and happy is indeed foremost. Like I said to you a couple of weeks ago, you look great.

Steve,
Thank you for sharing the news with me. My son also told me the news yesterday. He and his colleagues are quite excited about their company's expansion in Austin.

很稀有啦。老孙，我们都没办法羡慕你。
不过最近老谋子被爆再婚又生了三个孩子。

闺女学校出去春游。以前小家伙不怎么花钱，但是看见漂亮的小东西总是很眼馋，每次回来都说。所以我们也就给她带几十块钱。昨天买了几样小东西回来，一只小戒指，一串小手链，还有一包水晶球。小戒指算是送给我的，嘻嘻。一共用了25元钱。小家伙算来算去，店主多收了她10元，放学回来的路上跟姨妈唠叨，很不开心。
我们跟她说，以后要学会还价；没有什么东西是一定要得到的；这个世界上会有一些人不诚实；以后什么事情都不要着急，自己脑子要清醒。

Zhiqin_Chen,
没什么可羡慕的。等我的孙子孙女们上大学时，不知大学学费会涨到什么地步，也不知我儿子他们是否付得起。
你闺女对你很孝顺啊！
人家老谋子有的是钱，生他三打也无妨。再罚也罚不穷他！

嘻嘻。我们家的名义上是买给我，实际上是她自己喜欢玩的，还乘机贿赂我一把。反正家里什么东西都是她的玩具，只要被她看上眼。女孩子喜欢漂亮小玩意是天性吧。还喜欢把树叶石头往家里捡。
你孙儿们的爸爸有把握的，你就放心吧。现在国内到美国去留学的走势确实很明显，很多家长很早就开始筹划了。但是本科出去的大多基本上都是准备好了自费的。我内心里面也有两条腿走路的打算。但是由不得我们，她要是不愿意出去，我也很高兴。少花钱，而且在身边带着放心点，我看这个小赖赖也是很恋家的，和我一样。连深圳这么远的地方也感觉离家千里万里，不要呆的。我以前是以为我能走遍天涯的。：）

这年头，只要条件允许，肯定要为小孩打算这条路哦。

You'd never know what would happen in 10 or 20 years. China may be so advanced that people no longer find it necessary to send their kids abroad. Besides, if everyone and his brother wanted to study abroad, IMO the host country would bound to find some way to raise the bar accordingly. Like Yueyin mentioned above, college tuitions are already getting to be ridiculously high as it is. In recent years, this has been a constant topic of discussion in the media.
You don't see a whole lot of Japanese kids studying in this country. The general consensus is that their higher education system and standard of living are basically on par with the United States.
~*~*~*~*
p.s. I'm not saying sending the next generation abroad to study is not a good idea. Honestly, I would do the same if I were in the same situation. However, IMO, it's going to be a very competitive landscape, both academically and financially (A few years ago, I heard rumors that there were so many students of Asian descent on the UC, Berkeley campus, that they had to put a quota on the Asian students admitted). So it's always good to be prepared, and not to have any big surprises.
