What happened to my babies???!!!

Mya being a punk. I wanted her to smile, but she had other ideas.
Our beauties. Lately, I've been captivated by  how old they seem to be getting. I can honestly look at them both and no longer see babies of any kind. Mya is definitely a little person. She'll be moving into the two year old room at school and has already tested those waters. I am told she can definitely hold her own with the older crowd, but I guess that is to be expected when she is always with her sister. Claire is pushing her way into competition beyond preschool. Tear. Tear. I know growing up is inevitable, but I'd love it to slow down just a tad. Time is flying even though I am trying desperately to cherish each moment.
Claire completing the entire box of tangrams. I guess I need to find some a bit more challenging.
I downloaded a few educational apps to my Ipod. Claire loves, loves, loves to play them (I am sure Chris is cringing at this idea--he strictly forbids the kids to mess with the Ipod/computers, etc. when he is around. Not me ;) Anyway, it has worked out well. Mya plays the IXL, Claire plays the Ipod and I run. Fun times.  
Claire's "CRAZY" hairdo for celebrating Dr. Seuss week at school.
She's so beautiful. Really. Look at those eyes!

These eyes too. Gorgeous! A fantastic sense of humor to boot!

Mya always pats her babies backs and says "shhhhh." It is the sweetest thing ever. I've been meaning to capture the moment, but never have until this morning.

Claire showing off her Popeye's chicken tender. Yummy!

Your girls are both so darling! I wish I had girls of my own to do crazy hair dos and all. And totally know what you mean about your hubs not wanting the girls to touch all things electronics--my husband is the same way, but when he's not around I say go buck wild! ;)

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....
