Champion Commentor, Champion Auntie???

This entry isn't about Claire. It is about my commentors....A big shout out to Jessica, who has consistently left comments on her niece. Yay!! You are certainly pushing for first place in the best auntie category. Lisa will say she has school to contend with in addition to her 3 children and a job, but hay, who doesn't have time to tell their niece how adorable their poo is?? I thought for a long period, Olivia was going to be the best commenter, but she hasn't proven as faithful lately. Lauren is falling off the wagon too. Get back on it!!! I love the comments. I especially love the occasional comments from friends. I am thrilled that you check us out--namely, Nicole and Erin, who by the way is blogging like a pro. Love the updates. I even linked you to my blog. Hope you don't mind. Nicole, you should blog too. We'd love to see photos of Abby. We enjoyed the photo you sent us, but we'd love to see more. You could also include photos of the new house!!! I am hoping to get a tour at Christmas?? I know there are many other readers, but they choose to remain anonymous. Why?!!

I have been waiting for weeks to be recognized as the CHAMPION. I was hoping to see my name in gold plated bold letters but I guess I can't be too picky. Hey--I saw a funny costume today an APE holding a banana---Chris could be the ape, Claire the banana? Miss ya guys

Love Jessica---the world's greatest auntie!!

of course I don't mind. We hope to be able to see you guys again! Ps. I shared the poop with some friends who have children and they appreciated your desire to photograph and share the explosion!

I am the champion writer..as I have been the most faithful in the past..College keeps you busy, especially when you are running cross-country and having two hours of daily music practice! So yeah, I would say I am doing pretty well!!

Hi -- You are more than welcome to a tour at Christmas.....hopefully the house will be done by then. Sorry I'm so bad at not sending pics. the cord is mia for the camera so we can't download - I don't have anything quite as good as the explosion anyway....take care. Hugs. Nicole

Pink Family

Chris and I are creatures of habit. We like what we like. When we find something especially wonderful, we tend to go a bit overboard. Case in point--Chinese restaurant in Minot, ND. We frequented it often at least a couple of times per week. This was basically THE place we went out to eat. The host actually started to say things like, "nice to see you AGAIN." We were rather embarrassed and fearful that his line would eventually become, "your usual table?" Thankfully we moved. Since coming to Korea, we've tried every Brazilian Steakhouse (there are 4 or 5), I deemed Ceia my favorite. It has the most delicious white rice with which I put this onion mixture on top and it is oh. so. yummy. We became frequent visitors--typically one night per week. We joked between ourselves that we were going to be greeted as we were dreading in Minot. It never happened, thankfully, but who knows what the staff actually said as they primarily spoke Korean :) Another quirk Chris an...

my workout playlist

I never dreamed I'd be listening/watching this when I worked out, but it is true. Here it is: photo courtesty of Laurieberkner.com I wouldn't have it any other way. My little healthy lifestyle journey is going well. I have exercised 7 days thus far which consists of treadmill activity and an ab workout every other day. I don't pressure myself to run everyday, but I have run 4 of the 7 days. I am quite proud of that. I have never been a runner or enjoyed running, but I have grown to like it. I used to say that I had exercise induced asthma! I think I did, but maybe I outgrew it? ha. Whatever the reason, I am finding it pretty easy to run and maintain a steady pace for no less than 20 minutes each time. Pretty impressive feat for a girl like me. Interestingly, I had planned to take today off, but didn't. I actually had the desire to run. Chris and I are both sticking to the eating plan as well. So far I am down about 4 pounds. Although 4 pounds is plenty, it ...

9 Months

      Claire is nine months old. She is such an active kid, always on the go. She no longer lays nicely when we change her diaper. It is quite the challenge. She is getting rather quick at crawling, so we have to move just as quickly to keep her out of where she doesn't belong--the fridge, cupboards, etc. Developmentally, she is right on track or maybe a bit advanced in our biased eyes. She crawls, pulls herself up, is beginning to move from one piece of furniture to another, mostly eats table food, and imitates us (both in the noises we make or actions--knocking on a door). When we hold her hands, she is beginning to take steps without much guidance. On Saturday, she made her first attempt to climb a step. Sadly, it ended with her sliding down. She has three teeth--two on the bottom, one on top with another coming in on top. Ten things we love about her: 1. her smile 2. her curiosity 3. the way she holds our hands or her own hands when she sleeps 4. her easy-goingness 5....
