Fishing Firsts

I can’t believe it’s Friday already.  I really meant to post this much earlier this week, but, well, ya know… Anyway, the kids have been very patient for the last 3 weekends while we worked in the garden so Sunday, Patrick suggested we go mini-golfing, get ice cream, and go fishing.  All three of these things […]

Mia Dancerina

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.

Foto Multimedia Friday

 Mia celebrated her birthday with her preschool class on Tuesday.  It was pretty special since her birthday is not really for another month.  This is her bouquet of well-wishes from her classmates.  Mia’s year of Tappin’ Toddlers ended today with a mini-recital.  Video coming soon…  Promise, last one of Mia.  I just couldn’t help myself.  […]

Resilience

I mentioned in some previous posts (and some people have asked) about how emotional it was the day we picked up Ty.  Well, I’m finally getting around to sharing Ty’s adjusted well enough that I am ready to go relive what happened that day and the days to follow.  I should also thank my relentless […]

Foto Friday

 Here’s a preview of the first photo shoot with all three kids.  The rest of the shots are in the 2009Spring Album.  My Mother’s Day present from PJ.  Three hands for three kiddos.  We finally assembled our compost bin!  Who needs the toy?
