It is hard to believe we had a similar post two years ago announcing our arrival.  We had our packout this week and it was crazy!  We scheduled it early to try to avoid the rainy season, but when the movers showed up on Wednesday it was pouring rain.  They packed all of our stuff (my goodness, we have too much ”stuff”) and then they decided to come back on Saturday to put it on the truck.  Of course it was raining on Saturday too.  Oh well.  Hopefully it won’t all mold on it’s way back to California.

Cormac had fun playing on the boxes!

Little man is growing so fast!  He’s crawling, has four teeth and is quite amazing.  We still wish that his sleeping through the night would improve, but we aren’t sure what to do about it.  We would love your advice on it.

Here are a few cute pictures from his ten month photo shoot.   

He only holds the sign for a fraction of a second

So then we put it on his head and he was cracking up!

Ryan ran his fourth half-marathon on Sunday (his second one here in Korea) and he did an awesome job!  The course was brutal with a ton of hills and by the time the race started it was already pretty hot. 

In typical celebrity fashion, he was interviewed prior to the race by a local newspaper reporter.  It was quite comical considering the interviewer spoke very little English and Ryan speaks very little Korean.  They took a bunch of pictures of him and of us and were planning on contacting him after the race to see how he did!

Aahhh!  He’s finished with 13.1 miles!

We were so proud of him!

On our way back from Hawaii we flew to Japan and we spent a few days there.  We love Japan and were hoping to visit it again before we left.  Plus, I desperately wanted to see Kim if we were able to.  It worked out perfectly!

Waiting for the train

My bestest buddy Kim and Cormac!

Sydney even instructed them that she was going to be the first one to hug us and they had to wait!  We had a great lunch right on the water and spent the day with them.  Tanner was the perfect host- such a gentleman!  They showed us around and they have settled in to life there so well!  Very impressive!

So pretty!

We decided to stay for dinner as well and that allowed us to meet up with some friends from California that are now living there.  I have been wanting them to meet Kim and Curtis for months, so we finally were able to introduce them to each other.  The kids got along great and they are going to get together for a playdate sometime soon.

Cormac and Cormac!

It was a great visit!
