Easter 2012

Our Easter bunny likes to hide the kids' baskets. They are usually hidden in pretty obvious places, but being the kids are getting a bit better "seekers," he got tricky this year. Claire searched and searched. Finally with some assistance via a job, she discovered her basket. She was quite surprised! Our bunny doesn't give much (if any) candy in their baskets. By the time Easter rolls around, we've typically done 1-2 egg hunts, plus we always do our own later in the afternoon. Instead, baskets are filled with little things. Both girls got a Hello Kitty pillowcase. They were beyond thrilled, but the real happiness came in the mail the next day--they each got money from Grammy & Papa. We had a deal with Claire where if she read 2 books fluently, we'd buy her the Hello Kitty blanket that she has been oogling for so long. Well, the kid pulled one over on us. She opened her card, pulled out her money and announced that she can go buy the blanket! Little bugger! We bought it on Monday. She was too darn cute. She said thank you in Korean, while bowing nice and low to the Korean shop keeper. (Thank you, Ms. Kim--you've taught her well :) The shop keeper just smiled, but my pride was bountiful.

Glad to see the new pics of the girls! Looks like Easter was fun! Ava got her hair cut last night and her ears pierced! Hard to believe she is almost 7! I see you are liquidating a bunch of stuff...at least I can keep up with you that way. Have a good day! Miss you guys! Any idea of travel plans for summer?

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....
