Jack's birthday


Happy Birthday to the first born... blazing the way and turning 12.

This year he had 4 of his friends sleepover on Friday night and then play games and run around like crazy people... oh and eat, eat, eat!

It was a lot of fun and he felt like he had an ongoing weekend of birthday fun.

We all survived... actually it was a walk in the park compared to a 3 yo party :)  (basically just keep them fed and watered and with space to run around)

Happy New Year- 2014

Since my last post in November, I cannot even begin to fill you in on what we have been up to.
I will attempt to recall some of the highlights

There have been Christmas concerts most definitely in there.
Jack's first band concert for Secondary school was the first in a season of musical concerts to kick off the Christmas season.


Molly's ES 3rd grade concert was also delightful.



We also had the Christmas Bazaar and more swimming meets for Jack. (Jack is closest to screen in the yellow swim cap)


Finally we started to get our apartment ready for Christmas.
It is so fun to decorate and cozy everything up when it is cold.
We had snow too which made it more fun.

stockings are hung by the chimney...(?)

Winter wonderland

Christmas Eve

Sweet notes to Santa

Christmas morning

Thanks Santa

We had 23 people come to lunch on Christmas day... it was busy and really fun to have all of the TCIS "homeless" people all together in one day.
It was so busy... I missed taking photo's!





Once Christmas was done, it was time to pack the bags and head to Thailand for a well deserved holiday...

arrived in Phuket, hot and sweaty!

Back to Korea... and the cold.

During the Lunar New year break we managed to head to Muju for fun in the snow skiing.



and, with the warmer and milder January weather, we even got out for a long bike ride around the river.
