Beach Fun















yesterday was gorgeous. the sun was shining, the sky was blue. perfect. we headed to the beach. wingaersheek beach on the north shore. it was beautiful. one of the most beautiful beaches i have been to--perfect sand, not alot of riff raff in terms of people, awesome scenery, and not far to trek to find the perfect spot. the water was gorgeous too. it actually looked blue from a distance. claire was talking a great game of how she was going to swim, yada yada yada. i expected her touch the water with her foot and run like the wind. boy was i wrong and oh so proud. she really is a crab baby. she LOVED the water. mya too. it was cold, but for some reason, they both were little fish. claire laid down and splashed all about. mya sat in the later, crawled around, and enjoyed it when i splashed her around. it was great. claire spent alot of her time running to get water only to dump it in the sand. she used all the sand toys were bought and really had a great time. it as such a good day. a really great day. there is nothing like seeing your kids grinning from ear to ear for hours upon hours. today was one of those days. only one thing could have made it better---chris.
one funny thing...we went with our friends (of course). rocky, michelle, lucy, alison, jp and henri joined us. anyway, at one point, jp took claire down to the water and came back chasing her with a watering can full of water. claire was laughing and laughing, thinking it was the best thing ever. on the ride home, she was telling me all about it again, when all of a sudden she says, 'jcpenney was chasing me with the water.' it took me a moment to put 2 and 2 together, but i quickly figured out that jcpenny was actually jp. is it possible that we shop a bit too much?? the kid made me laugh. too cute.

I am so glad you had fun, what a couple of cute "beach babes". I miss the ocean so much. The girls look so cute in their matching swimsuits. You look like you have dropped a size, good for you.
I am sure Chris was there in spirit, I know a body would have been better. Glad your friends were there to keep you company.

love you guys!!!!

Progress

I used to be prompt about scrapbooking in Claire's album. After seeing my sister's pictures piled up three children later, I was determined not to have the same fate. I am sure it is difficult for some of you to believe, but since Claire has been born, my free time has been limited. Really, it has. So, our pictures are finding their way into piles too--5 to be exact. However, I am thrilled to say that I finished (ok, they aren't completely finished, but nearly. I only have journaling to do.) six pages. Yes, that's right, I said SIX!! It was a major accomplishment. Here they are for your viewing pleasure. Only 5 more months left to get through....any volunteers? Jessica???

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really

4 months

We are potentially down to our last four months in Korea. I say "potentially" because it rests solely on where we are going. If we are heading back to the States, we will most likely be leaving early June so that we can enjoy a full summer with family and have time to get settled before Claire begins school. We caught wind today of what could be our next assignment. Although it is far from official word, all of a sudden my tummy is filled with butterflies. I had the privilege of teaching a little first grade girl who was one of a set of quadruplets. They (she and her sisters) are the most delightful little girls. They are well behaved and truly beautiful inside and out. Anyway, their family was due to PCS (military move) in December. I teased her that I was going to follow her and live down the road. While they were house hunting, I continually asked if there was a neighboring house for me. She'd laugh and giggle, not really sure if I was serious or not. Her Mom thought
