Alea's Birthday Party...

It's not really her birthday, but that's a minor detail in the life of a 3 yo! :)

Oh Sweet Mullet...



...or is it a rat tail? Hmmm. I can't decide if I should cut it. Maybe I'll braid it first?! :)

ABC...


We got Abby a special tablet to work on her letters. She is having lots of fun & spelling quite a few words now. It's totally ruining our ability to sneak anything by her, but it's cute that she is working so hard at it. We have to practice with either the purple or pink pen...surprise, surprise!

GG Jane's Project...


Well, Abby is getting LOTS of mail! :) It's very fun. GG Jane sent her a 'project' to do. Abby loves a good craft! Daddy is very engineer-like when doing them (right Mich & JJ??), so it is always interesting. This project proved to be quite difficult. Mommy & Daddy couldn't even get the pompoms to stick. The good news is that now we have Elmer's Glue...Abby LOVES to glue...pretty much anything!

Nursing Uncle Ben Bunny...


Okay...just about cried I was laughing so hard. We just spent the last half hour taking things out of one refrigerator to put into another. (We had a freezer incident & now all our meat is thawed that was in there!!! ARGH!) Keep in mind that this is the 3rd thing I have called about. The same guy came & probably thinks I'm crazy. He might think I like to change out big appliances for kicks! Anyway, the Koreans that have come to our house are totally freaked out by Indy...our killer GOLDEN RETRIEVER! :) So, we put Indy in his dog crate. Needless to say, I put Bekah for a nap & started to cook unthawed meat...forgot he was in there & he started to whine. Abby asked why he had to be in there and I told her she could let him out. She looked at me matter-of-factly & said, "I can't right now. I have to nurse Uncle Ben Bunny." Yes, she named her big bunny with the pink bow after my brother -- she loves him (both the bunny & Uncle Ben). It just totally cracked me up! On some level I am happy she does it -- maybe I'm instilling the importance of breastfeeding at this tender age! HA. When we were in WY she also asked Brad's sister, Aunt Erky, what Dylan ate (he's 1) & Erica told her all the things he liked to eat. Then Abby said, "does he eat your booby too?" Very nice that her terminology is so technical. Reflection of our good parenting, I'm sure. Alrighty, off to cook up some meat...I guess if we knew more people, we could have a meat party. Oh & it would help if we had furniture... :)

That's my girl...

I wanted to get a picture of Abby to put on skype...this is the one she picked out! What a turkey! Brad told me tonight that she is her mother's daughter. Just for fun, I asked him what he was talking about & he said he was referring to the sassiness. I know not of what he speaks...

Abby & Indy at the window. Not sure what Indy finds so exciting, but he does like to look out our 10th floor window! :) Two weeks into our Korean adventure, Abby still runs to the window to watch the planes take off!

The Owl!

Bekah's new thing is to roll her head around into very uncomfortable looking positions in order to see the TV or other loud things (read Abby!). She is getting very close to rolling over, but whew, it sure looks very painful. Doesn't seem to bother her, so that's why I have dubbed her "The Owl" :)

Bekah's Bumbo


How cute is she in her big girl Bumbo chair?!! Thank you Auntie Sar! :)
