Since a couple of you have asked, I’d like to take this opportunity to explain our middle name choice for Ty and clear up any debate on pronuncation. (It’s a hard ‘G,’ btw.) Let’s start at the beginning (a very good place to start). When we first received Ty’s file, we found his Korean name (Tae […]

Tri'd and Tired
Have you tri’d lately? If not, you should really consider it. I know, you’re thinking, “I’m not an athlete” or “I couldn’t finish that…I might drown.” Well, I’m not an athlete in my eyes either and you could finish with the proper training. Let me insert here, that I participate in sprint distance short triathlons. […]
Can you hula?
PJ can. He’s been asking for a hula hoop (Spiderman to be exact) for a while. He used a birthday gift card to get an orange one since Spiderman hula hoops seem to be scarce. Much to our surprise, he can actually hula! Check out this video.
Fishing Firsts

All three of these things […]

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 […]
