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!

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 :)

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...

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 ...

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....
