New England

Chris and I try to savor every awesome moment in life, knowing that things could change in a heartbeat. A major change is right around the corner, courtesy of the Air Force with another in one year. Chris is leaving for Korea in a couple of weeks. He's been downloading our home videos to his computer so he can watch and watch and watch them again. I, on the other hand, have been trying to take pictures of each and every little thing--not so much for him, but for our kiddos. Our time in Massachusetts will be gone in one year and although I am excited about our next assignment, I am going to miss so many things that are truly "New England." One thing is the ice cream. Before living out here the only ice cream I'd known were chain stores or the ice cream available in grocery stores. My eyes were opened. We've frequented several little ice cream places, including the Ben and Jerry's factory in VT. Our new favorite place is Meola's Wayside Ice Cream. It is within walking distance from our new home, which Claire loves and it has awesome ice cream, which I love. We don't give Mya sweets or really junk of any kind, but we let her try some ice cream tonight. She was in heaven.

There is a Meola's right down the road from my house....delicious!! JP won't go because one summer he asked the girl to add an extra scoop to his cone and she wouldn't because she didn't know how to charge him for it...I on the other hand go all the time.

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....
