Our Little Princesses

Chris just asked when I was going to update the blog. I am sure my family is wondering the same thing :) Sadly, there isn't a whole lot happening in our lives. I guess that isn't exactly true, we've been doing alot, it just isn't things you'd care to hear or see. My school was on spring break last week, which meant the kiddos and I stayed home and spent alot of time sifting through boxes, organizing, and preparing for our move. I think we've finally finished that task. In one of my boxes were some hair pieces. Claire and Mya loved them and wore them for the entire day, adding their princess dresses to the display. It was rather cute. Princesses and babies are an everyday activity at our house, along with playing school or restaurant. Those are the "go to" activities. Overall, they play so well together. Love these girls to the moon and back.

Oh oh, you think it is a back "RUB?" Sorry for the misinformation. It is a back beat down. Just remember what doesn't hurt them, makes them stronger. He'll learn one way or another ;) We can't wait to see you too. The girls have been toted Jackson along with us on various occasions. They love the birth announcement and looking at their littlest cousin. So darn adorable.

Ha ha..that is cute! Hopefully the girls like him as much in person! A beat down never hurt anyone,right? With the "muscles" Jackson has I'm sure he can hold his own!

Love Ya, j

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....
