And...We're Back!

Chris' proof that the girls' hair was done. I should point out that the headband in Claire's hair is for an infant ;)

Getting ready for some rainbow jello after their baths. I need to teach Chris about posing and zoom, but he did take pictures which was great!

He even dressed them alike. Way to go, Daddy! You did a great job!
Phew! We are back on the bloggosphere. Finally. My Mom turned 60 this year, so we decided to celebrate with a family trip to Vegas. Initially, my sisters were planning the trip thinking I wouldn't be able to go, but I insisted. I never go anywhere minus my husband or kiddos and I can't remember the last time my sisters and parents and I have all been together with just us. There was no need to twist my arm as I was IN! Thank goodness I went. It was just what the doctor ordered. Sun in face, time with my family, lots of laughs, some fantastic shows and a bit of shopping. It couldn't have been better.  Truly. I love my family so much and I am so blessed to have such a tight bond with them all. They truly are my best friends in the whole wide world. Each and EVERY ONE of them. LOVE THEM!

Anyway, back in Korea...Chris gave his single parent updates via Facebook. He did great. He went above and beyond to provide activities--story hour at the library, a trip to the hair salon, bowling, even a couple of dinners at restaurants because that is how we roll, my friends! Saturday wasn't his easiest day as his patience was wearing thin, but I provided a few ideas via my sister's Droid and he was back in action again.

We happily reunited on Monday evening. Thankfully, jetlag has failed to make an appearance and I jumped right back on the swing.

That is very funny about the hair especially. Good work, Chris! Last time we were in North Dakota Ava requested Nate do her hair instead of me. While it wasn't great he got the job done!

Love ya,

I ran into your mom and dad last week and they said you had a great time in Vegas.....I told the that next time you decide to do that, the "other daughter" needs to be invited too. Glad you got to see your family and that you had fun.
Hugs,

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

2 weeks...

As I write this, my house is being cleaned and not by me. This is my favorite day of the week. There is nothing like going home to a clean house and smelling the bleach to know it is germ free as well. This is my second good day in a row! I took the day off yesterday. Claire didn't have school due to Fasching (German equivalent of Halloween--minus the door to door trick or treating), so I gave Mya the option of hanging out with us as well. She took some convincing, but later said she had a great day. I must admit that I was focused on giving my back a much needed break, so my morning consisted of napping and laying on the couch. Not my best parenting in action, but it did wonders for the rest of the day. We met Chris for lunch, then returned home to enjoy the sunshine before the girls' swimming lessons. It was in the 50's yesterday, absolutely gorgeous! It really is hard to believe that we made it through the entire winter with no snow. I think it snowed possibly 2 days, b

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
