A couple of weekends ago, we were down in North Carolina for a wedding. A by product of that was finding dress wear for the boy. Luckily we found an outfit at Macy’s. He’s up to a size 10 thin cut…which was a huge find because a regular 10 was huge on him. He was …

We're Mike & Michelle, the proud parents of our Korean born son, Zachary. This blog shares our adoption story. "As soon as we saw you, we knew an adventure was going to happen."~Winnie the Pooh.
All About Z
This week, Zachary was the featured student in class. He got to explain a little about what he likes to do inside and out of school. And of course there was some art work. Thankfully the boy does have some drawing prowess because lord knows that escaped his mama.
Sunny Side Up
It was a rather uneventful week. School, practice was our normal routine. Except…the boy woke up one morning and wanted to make his own eggs. Now the mommy in me imagined the worse, but as I looked into those big brown eyes, I decided to give him a shot. We worked on how to successfully …
Wedding
We were in Raleigh last week for a wedding. Ben was our ring bearer and to see him now as a groom was pretty amazing. My cute little Bennie is all grown up! It was a beautiful wedding and the reception was fun. Rustic barn filled with family and friends made the night go so …
UNC
Next up was UNC and another basketball Mecca. This time, we headed straight to the Dean Smith Center. And that facility was locked…did someone call ahead to tell them of our arrival? So we headed over to their Basketball Hall of Fame. Very impressive. There, we ran into former UNC player, Eric Montross. The boy …
Duke
Last Friday, we did a quick college tour of Duke and UNC. We started our day at the Duke Gardens, very impressive. It apparently is very good to be a Duke family member. We then headed over to the Chapel. Really cool to see the early morning sunlight coming through the stained glass windows. And …
Chorus Club
So the boy officially made the Chorus Club. This mom is stoked because we get a spring and winter concert. The boy’s Korean Wellness Updates always mentioned that he likes to sing. And that’s a trend that has lasted. Why just last weekend, I returned from my run to hear him singing up a storm. …
Golf
This week the boy took a big step into the fray that is called golf. I say fray because some men (I’m looking at you daddy) can become obsessed with it. As those men will tell you, once the game has you..it has you. Off we went to GolfU, for 10 weeks of lessons. The …
End of Summer
Sadly, our summer is coming to a close. We spent ours in our happy place surrounded by friends and family. There was plenty of paddle ball. Pop Pop showed his form off while daddy taught the little guy the ropes And we may have broken a few paddles. Miniature golf is a big thing in …
4th Grader
This week, Zachary started 4th Grade. It’s hard to imagine that this was a little boy eager for kindergarten a few short years ago. I miss those days sometimes. But at the same time, I cherish these moment. I love the talks we have when he arrives home to tell me about his day. Some …
