Play Time

I love how imaginative the boy has become.  His summer has been filled with awesome adventures with his babysitter.  And it mostly revolves around, cops/robbers and Star Wars. He really has a knack for directing and screen play.  And he doesn’t miss the little details. “Meg, I said you go left.  I go right”. It …

Surf’s Up

Ladies, the boy was back in his beach wear last weekend.  We loved OC so much that we headed to Stone Harbor on Saturday.  And the waves were much bigger so that made for lots more boogie board time. Let’s just say the boy Hanged Five…no seriously, he stayed right out there with us on …

Zoo

Last weekend we headed back to the beach.  We started at the Cape May Zoo.  Really cute place near the shore…and the best part, free. The little guy took command of the zoo map, which meant lots of running to keep up.  Ever done a zoo in an hour and half?  We did.  The boy …

Lessons

Grabbed this from a Facebook post, too good not to use. My daughter starts middle school this week.  She did all the usual back to school preparations: decorated her locker, bought new uniforms, even surprised her with a new backpack.  Then, on the night before the first day of school, I took out a plate …

Beach

To celebrate Gotcha Day, we headed to the beach.  I don’t know how it happened but we went all summer without going.  So off we went. Hey ladies, cute boy in surfer gear. We started the day with lunch at Mangos, best pizza place ever! We then headed to the beach…where this happened Which led …

Gotcha

Last Tuesday, we celebrated our Gotcha Day. It really is surreal that it has been 5 years since we brought him home. Now that he is older there have been questions about life in Korea.  And this year, we broke out photos that the foster mom gave us, which made him very happy.  But deep …

Tyler

I’m just getting to this post. A few week ago we went to Tyler Aroboritum and walked the grounds.  The little guy loves to climb the tree houses. This place is extra special because it’s one of the first places we took him when he got home.

Summer Time

Baby it’s hot outside.  Ok, so maybe those global warming people are on to something.  These day after day nighty degree days are starting to get to us. Luckily, we’ve been able to get in the pool once the sun goes down.  And someone loves the pool. Lately, we’ve been working on his dive.  He’s …

Olympics

The Olympics started last week.  So, we’ve been busy watching and cheering on the USA.  Which got me to thinking…could the boy possibly be a future Olympian and if so, what sport. He definitely loves the water and as you can tell…already has his post race pose carefully thought out. He seems to have found …
