Constant Beginnings

   It has rained for 3 days. Monsoon season is upon us and I couldn't be happier that we are leaving even if only for a couple months. I am so excited to see my family and friends. Here's a little view into our lives as we are trapped inside.  Chillin' on the couch. This kid and South Korea's humidity do not mix. She is constantly saying, "Momma, I hot!"  Sharing some yummy, yummy goodness--homemade oreo cookies and memories of my dear Grandma Arlene. Reading, reading, and reading. THese will be going home to be shared with my sisters. I am pleased to say that a kindle is waiting for me at my parents house, so I will be toting paperback books no more. I enjoyed Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, as well as Still Life with Rice. House Rules wasn't too bad. The Alchemist had a good message, but not really my thing to read a book where the message is uncovered in the beginning, but illustrated throughout the book...

We had our first real snowfall on Tuesday. The girls were so excited about it because it actually accumulated to the point where we had an inch or two on the ground. We hear conflicting reports on the amount of snow that our area actually receives, so I too, was excited about this small accumulation. After our nap, I took the girls out to play. I pulled them around in the sled, threw some snowballs and we built a snowman. It was a fun little afternoon. They loved it. This was Mya's first experience with snow as she was just a wee baby last year. Living life through the eyes of a child (or two) is such a wonderful gift. If only I could box up these little moments...
