Time has gone by so fast, though it doesn’t always seem like it when I’m in the daily grind…but looking back…wow. This year really flew by.
Thank you to those who faithfully follow our blog and took the time to actually remind me to update! Thanks for being so interested in our lives, even though most of the time, I blog about my kids or sometimes nothing much at all :)
I have not been a very good and diligent blogger this year. I think there are many reasons that contribute to my lack of blogging…but mainly, I think it’s simply laziness. And the cause of the laziness? Facebook. I upload so many pictures on there and quite frequently, I must say, that I didn’t feel the need to keep this updated. But it is true, this is different. There are actually words :)
The summer has come and gone. It was a pleasant summer with beautiful weather and great people. Summer weather here in Washington is truly wonderful, I just wish it were longer :) we had many visitors here, both friends and family. I loved it. We were also able to take a mini vacation with Jun’s family to Lake Chelan for a few days. We rented a condo and it was very relaxing. We rented a boat and went water tubing. Caleb went with daddy too! He loved it! We went golfing and most of all, ate many great meals. Then, we visited LA for a short week. We enjoyed it very much, although our schedule was a little crazy and we didn’t get to relax at all :) It was just good to be back home where everything was so familiar and comfortable. We didn’t get to see everyone we wanted to see and that was the only downside :(
After coming back to Washington, I felt like I had to readjust all over again! However, it was only for a couple of days. After a summer of being surrounded by close family and friends, it was back to being me and the kids again…it all of a sudden felt very overwhelming. But I was so thankful for a great summer.
We’ve been in Washington for 2 years already! We are going on our third year. It has been an emotional roller coaster for me! I can’t even fully say that I’m completely adjusted to this new place we call home and my role as just mom and wife. It’s a completely different life, but so many good things have come out of this move and we are thankful. We are blessed with so much. I just wish I could transport my close friends and family here! Hehe…wouldn’t that be nice?
The weather’s changing here…the leaves are vibrant orange, red, and yellow….so beautiful. It definitely feels like fall here and we are getting ready for the cold weather. Like I said, so different here, but so much to be thankful for :) Jun is not so thankful for all the trees around our house during this time of year, haha...our driveway is a mess, so many leaves to clean up!
Caleb and Nathan are definitely becoming brothers. Caleb takes away Nathan's toys and Nathan cries. At home, they have a hard time sharing, but at the same time, Caleb misses Nathan when he's not around. He's also very protective of him around others, but i think when they are by themselves, Caleb gets frustrated that he needs to share his toys. MANY lessons to be taught everyday...i pray for patience on an hourly basis! Oh but when they love on each other, it is truly priceless.
Many things come with Caleb's growing vocabulary and personality...like heartache :( he's starting to say things like, "You're mean, mom" or "I don't like you." it's weird, i know it's coming from a 2 year old who's just learning to express himself, but it still hurts! during those times, i need to just remind myself that...it's ok and it's more important for me to be a parent!
Anyway....this entry has been long....moving on...
Jun will be celebrating his bday soon, as will our 2 boys! The three boys in my life have bdays too close together! I get a little crazy trying to think of ideas for gifts and celebrations for all 3 of them! But at the same time, it’s kind of exciting I guess!
oh, and last update for now! caleb is potty-trained!!! well, except for naptime and bedtime? does that still count? anyway...he did so well :) i'm so so so proud of him.
some pictures....more to come.
my first attempt at making bibimbap for our guests...and i can say that i won't be doing that for awhile! haha....
