goodness...

All good things must come to an end, so with the end of my single parenting episode, I bring you a few other good things of my week. As always, my number one good things--Claire and Mya. I could eat these two up. They are simply adorable. Claire was wearing my boots around. She says , "Momma, I got your knockin shoes on." We got snow Thursday night to which Claire was convinced that Christmas must be coming. She said it several times that night and Friday morning. I just hope Daddy knows the gifts she'll be expecting to fulfill her Christmas wishes;) Mya loves, loves, loves to sing. Claire does too, but Mya seems so little yet that I eat up every word. Her latest song of choice, Three Little Monkeys, to which she then adds "na, na, na boo boo. you can't catch me." Again, I eat up every word. It is adorable, but I think nearly everything these two do/say is adorable. My little whiz, Claire...I discovered a new game for her. Rush Hour, Jr. I was a bit worried that it would be too difficult being that it is for 6+, but she's sailed right through to the advanced level. She is mastering her way through any challenging traffic situation. She'll be ready for the Korean roads very soon ;) I can't wait to follow her successes through life. She is a little smartie, but I suppose every parent thinks that of their child too ;)
New jammies. Love them and their jammies. After several tries, Mya continued with her cheesy grins, so this is what we got.


Mya hiding under the chair. She loves to hide.

Kumquats. Delicious. I'd never had them before, but they are absolutely delicious! Korea definitely has the best fruit all year round. Don't know how they do what they do, but I love it.

Our kiddos love fruit. Thank goodness because fruit is nearly the only healthy thing these kids will eat. They absolutely detest vegetables. Oiy.


Blackberries. These were also so very delicious and HUGE! We've been going through fruit like it is going  out of style. Yummy.

Mya agrees. Yummy.

Another cheesy grin for your viewing pleasure. This girl has attitude like no other. I can't wait to share it with her aunties.

Erin--kumquats. My info was taken from a Korean man who was far from a fluent English speaker, so take it for what it is....he said they are like little oranges. you eat the whole thing--peel and all. (I clarified this point to make sure he was meaning what he was saying ;) they do taste like oranges and have little seeds inside them. Very yummy and less mess. Definitely a must try fruit.

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 ...

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...

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....
