It's Snowing--in my house??!!




An awesome package arrived yesterday in the mail from my parents. Yippee!! I love packages so much more living in Korea than I even did stateside. A huge appreciation. Anyway, I opened the box and left it in the kitchen. Not long after, I catch Mya (the girl who is all about fun) running over to the box, grabbing an overflowing handful of filler. Shredded paper. Um. Yeah. Bad news. I stopped her, but it didn't seem to phase her. She simply turned around and returned to the living to enjoy the rewards of her previous reaping. Yep. Snow. All. over. the. floor. She and Claire were in heaven. Me...not so much. :)

On an aside...my family has been checking in daily on the status of clothing in our house, so I'll let you in on a little secret. Mya almost always, but quite often Claire as well, for the last two weeks that we have been hanging at home have preferred to run around in their undies. Sometimes with shirts, sometimes without. There. The cat is out of the bag. I will say, Chris and I have been fully clothed--only sometimes in our pajamas ;) I love vacation!

On another aside--check out Claire's legs in that last picture. That girl looks ripped! :)

We'd love to have him. Send him on over. We'll rev him up, then send him home. As for the indoor trampoline, well....we're there already--"Jumpy Jump." Ava even thought that looked like fun. We'll take her too.

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....
