I told you there would be dance videos in the future… Since all Mia does is dance and twirl around our house, I couldn’t resist signing her up for a dance class this year. I admit I’m a bit biased towards dancing to begin with, but if you know Mia, you know dancing is in...
Stellan's Name Gallery
We made Stellan’s Name Gallery! We’re about 20 pictures down. The picture was taken in an ancient palace (Deoksugung Palace) near Seoul’s City Hall. I apologize Stellan’s name isn’t easier to read but I didn’t have any markers in our hotel room.
…take a bow cow…
I wasn’t joking when I said Koreans bow for everything and they start early. Ty first bowed to us at the Holt office in Seoul as he was leaving our first meeting together. It took a couple weeks at home for him to be comfortable enough to do it here but now he does it all...

Secret Life of Pizza
So I’ve been on a quest for the perfect pizza dough recipe for some time now. I used to buy Bertucci’s dough at the restaurant until they tripled the price. Since we now live in the middle of nowhere, it’s definitely not worth trying to figure out how to get there when they’re open and...
