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. [...]

…when you’re having fun/chasing 3 kids/just plain old busy.
Today marks 5 weeks home with Ty. So what’s new you may ask.
He’s coming into his own turning into a opinion-holding, tantrum-throwing, mischevious, rambunctious two-year-old. He has a special place in his heart for “Ee-ah” (aka Mia) and Nana. He’s learned that chips, chocolate, and fruit snacks are [...]

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.

This was taken at our fishing day.
First fruit (literally) of the season. This is off of a Mother’s Day gift from Mia last year. Yummy!
Monkey see, Monkey do. This is what I saw when I went to find Ty the other day.

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 are [...]

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 her [...]

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.

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 [...]

I’m not ashamed to admit I’ve been called a car seat “nazi.” Would you believe one of my goals in life is to become a Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician?
Anyway, I came across the following post this morning, and it’s the best I’ve ever read. All of the things I lecture about written in one [...]

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. She kept [...]
