Family

We had planned on heading to the Gartenshau last weekend, which is, from what I am told, a very neat park complete with pumpkin displays in an Underwater theme. I am working on my photography skills, so thought this would be a great opportunity for some pics of our kids. Sadly, it rained, so I opted for an in home photo shoot instead. Here are my most prized, most cherished possessions ;)  They melt my heart and fill me with pride. I love them so very, very much.

Lovely family! I noticed you wouldn't let me comment on your most recent post so here it goes! Going through a miscarriage isn't easy! I think about it often but also realize everything happens for a reason. The bitterness towards others who are pregnant is normal. All the tears, sadness, and pain was worth it when I finally got to hold my amazing boy! You will experience this joy again too! It will make you appreciate all of your blessings and will make you a better mom. I wish you weren't going through this, I know exactly how you feel. It does suck! Remember all that great advice you gave me to get out of my slump? Well apply it! Keep your chin up,keep the faith, and relax it will happen!

Love ya, j

Oh Jessica,
You made me cry. Thanks for your words. I needed them. I know it will all go away and the sunny days will return. They do return. They have returned, but are clouded by these moments of funk. I miss the blue sky, sun shiny days where there is no cloud in the sky--if you know what I mean.
I am gland you've been there, well not really, but you know what I mean. It is easier for whatever reason.
Love you!

Very sweet pics! Have you heard of Zulily.com? I'm pretty slow on the uptake, I know, but they have great deals on clothes and shoes for women and kiddos. Annnd I know how you love to shop ;)

I have an account with zulily ;) However, I never use it. I tend to go with my reliables for clothes and that is pretty much it. I like cute, cheap and sales--Carter's is it for kids, Gap sometimes and Old Navy. Those are our stand bys. I discovered NY and Company as well as Loft ships to APO's now, so those are my personal favs. ;) Lucky for Chris and our bank account, I am limited to only those who ship to APO priority.
As for you--Wrentham has a Carter's outlet and Mark could take in a Patriot's game at nearby Foxboro. Just an idea :)

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really

2 weeks...

As I write this, my house is being cleaned and not by me. This is my favorite day of the week. There is nothing like going home to a clean house and smelling the bleach to know it is germ free as well. This is my second good day in a row! I took the day off yesterday. Claire didn't have school due to Fasching (German equivalent of Halloween--minus the door to door trick or treating), so I gave Mya the option of hanging out with us as well. She took some convincing, but later said she had a great day. I must admit that I was focused on giving my back a much needed break, so my morning consisted of napping and laying on the couch. Not my best parenting in action, but it did wonders for the rest of the day. We met Chris for lunch, then returned home to enjoy the sunshine before the girls' swimming lessons. It was in the 50's yesterday, absolutely gorgeous! It really is hard to believe that we made it through the entire winter with no snow. I think it snowed possibly 2 days, b

4 months

We are potentially down to our last four months in Korea. I say "potentially" because it rests solely on where we are going. If we are heading back to the States, we will most likely be leaving early June so that we can enjoy a full summer with family and have time to get settled before Claire begins school. We caught wind today of what could be our next assignment. Although it is far from official word, all of a sudden my tummy is filled with butterflies. I had the privilege of teaching a little first grade girl who was one of a set of quadruplets. They (she and her sisters) are the most delightful little girls. They are well behaved and truly beautiful inside and out. Anyway, their family was due to PCS (military move) in December. I teased her that I was going to follow her and live down the road. While they were house hunting, I continually asked if there was a neighboring house for me. She'd laugh and giggle, not really sure if I was serious or not. Her Mom thought
