Here’s a new video of Cormac playing in his exersaucer.  Oh, he is so fun!

Tuesday’s and Thursday’s are great because Ryan has “command physical training” first thing in the morning, then comes home and gets ready for work.  Here are a few cute pictures of my guys hanging out this morning.

 

Some of you might not think this post is very exciting, but I know some people will think it’s pretty cool.  It is definitely something I will miss about Korea.  My friend Lara from Taegu took a few of us yesterday and it was beyond AMAZING!   We were thrilled with it!  There were three floors of fabric and I bought quite a bit! 

Most of the fabric is about $2.00 per yard and I got a skirt that was already made for just $10! It’s the brown, black and white fabric near the top. Some of you may recognize the Vera Bradley fabric too!  I was so excited to find it!  They had every pattern available!

While some people may find it trivial to post about our dog, other people request more frequent topics involving him…

SO, last week we took Duke to the Vet and the vet proceeded to tell us that he was FAT.  Instantly I became defensive and said that he was merely big boned or extra fluffy.  “I swear I don’t give him treats very often, I said, “but I did just give him one small one in the car”…  Ryan responded, “he didn’t just get fat overnight, we made him that way!”  “But he’s such a good boy and I feel like he is a bit neglected now that Cormac is here”.  ha ha ha

Duke still gets the leftover peanut butter jars to clean for us and here is a cute picture of him this morning. 

This video is a bit long, but it shows you how beautiful the cherry blossom trees were and how crazy the festival was.
This also shows a little of our life here in Korea.  We will definitely miss some aspects of it. 

So sweet! 

Cormac is napping and Ryan and I are taking time to work on some videos and blog updates.  Here are a few cute pictures.  Cormac in his jammies- so adorable! 

And last night our friends Kim and Michelle from our hospital came over for a BBQ.  It was great seeing them!  We hadn’t seen Kim since Cormac was born and the last time we saw Michelle was in November.  They loved little man!

We’ve been crazy lately, so this is a little late, but can you believe Cormac is already EIGHT months old!?  People always said that time would fly by when you have a baby, and that is certainly true! 

Here are a few pictures of him!  Of course getting him to try to hold the sign now is nearly impossible, so I made a sign
to hang up in addition to the one he was busy destroying.

 

And, he got his first tooth!  We’ve been thinking he was teething for months now, and it finally popped through.

We love and miss you all!

Here is a video that is a month old.  Just making sure we remember how to do this and trying to teach Dayspring how.

Yesterday we decided to go out in town and enjoy the Cherry Blossom Festival.  We expected it would be crazy with over a million people cramming in to this little city and we decided to be adventurous and just see what the day had in store for us.  Well what an adventure it was!  I tried convincing Ryan several times to let us eat at a BBQ chicken restaurant but he was determined to try the local fare…  Essentially the Korean equivalent to “fair food”…  It was quite interesting to say the least. 

We had such a great time and Cormac was a trooper.  We ended up staying out for six hours, and even ate octopus (well Ryan did, I ate around it) in a Korean pancake.  We also tried corn dogs with french fries incorporated in them (strange) and several Turkish wraps.  We love them!  So delicious!  We had met the Turkish wrap vendors in Seoul last year and we asked them how they ended up in Korea and apparently they are married to Korean women.
