The boys played basketball in the rain while Kae danced in the rain. Yeah, they were able to swim for a little bit (hence the swimsuit), but they got a little cold in there.

Our Memorial Day Weekend
It may have rained on our little barbeque with the family, but the younger ones had a great time playing in the rain.

The pool’s up and the water’s warming.
It that time of year. Last year we hadn't even bought the pool until the very end of June, but this year we already have it up so the water will warm. Well, someone couldn't wait to try it out so she got in tonight. Her teeth were chattering and her body was shaking, but she insisted she was NOT cold. :) Chelsi, on the other-hand, didn't want in the water, but was happy running around in her swimsuit chasing her Kitty.

My Mother’s Day Serenade
Every Mother's Day the 3 and 4 year old Sunday School classes come over to church and sing and pray. This year my big girl was in there and she did great!

Happy Birthday Chase!!!
It was Chase's 7th birthday. I can't believe my baby boy is 7!
He had his first baseball game today and then we had cake and ice cream at home.

Korean Children’s Day 2007
We had a great time yesterday and we're ALL tired today! First we went to a Korean church to celebrate Korean Children's Day with activities scheduled by their church, along with other adoptive families. Afterward we went out with some friends to have fun with the kids. Here are some pictures from yesterday.
Hard to believe her first kiss was from Jared and now his heart is totally with another girl, so he wouldn't even sit by her.
Owen was happy to oblige though.....he's a little young, but you never know. ;)
The whole crew of kids.
Here are some of our kids having a good time with the animals.
The boys on the tram.
Kaelin did get a hug at the end of the day.
And Chelsi was there too, but she slept most of the time, so the pictures we got are of her when she was wide awake and playing in the car.

Why should one person’s actions reflect on an entire group?
That can be said for any group....an organization, culture, belief, etc.
Here's a link I was sent regarding the VA Tech tragedy this past Monday. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18178194/site/newsweek/ I've seen so much floating around the internet. Some people making racist comments and others realizing that making these comments won't take the hurt away from the people directly affected by this tragedy. The people it directly affects are the victims involved, their friends and families as well as the Cho's.
It's sad that in the year 2007 you can have comments that foreigners should "go back to their own country". It's sad that so many have forgotten how they came to be here in the first place. They may not have immigrated themselves....maybe not even their parents or grandparents, but more than likely someone did. That is what makes this country great. People from all walks of life. This one young man was obviously disturbed, depressed, etc., but how does that make a whole culture/ethnicity bad? It has nothing to do with it. He is an individual that acted individually. Take note how many countless other acts of violence are committed by caucasians. It doesn't make the rest of the caucasian community bad.
I'm sad for what happened. It's absolutely horrible and a person/parent's nightmare come true. I pray that something like this never happens again. But, no one can promise that. Saying people shouldn't immigrate would never be the answer. There's a huge difference between legal immigration and illegal immigration.
I just pray that the people who feel this way, thinking no one belongs here except them, come to realize that thinking is not how this country came to be or what it's about. I pray the people of S. Korea from whom I have heard from feel at peace that most United States citizens do not feel anger towards the entire Korean or Korean-American population. I'm amazed at the caring conveyed by South Korea for one man's actions. That shows such honor. I pray for the families across the country involved in this terrible action and pray for them to get through this. I can't imagine how hard this has been for any of them.
