My nightly visitor

Okay, it's not 'really' night.....it's 4-5 am.  I have a little boy who likes to come into my room to sleep with me.  Sometimes it's earlier, but most nights it's 3:30-4 that he originally comes in.  Sometimes I let him stay a bit if he seems like he may sleep and sometimes he tries to sleep in my bed, but isn't really that tired so he jabbers.  He never cries.  I put him to bed and eventually he stays there.  Sometimes, though, I pretend to keep sleeping thinking he will go back to bed.  That doesn't work either.  He will just stand there with his hands on my bed watching me, waiting for me to wake up.  It's really pretty darn cute, so you can never actually be upset with him.  But, this occurs about 5 times per week, so it is tiring, but I love him.

Tonight I put him in bed and told him I'd see him in the morning. I said "you're going to stay in bed tonight, right?"  He gave me an ornery look, through the light coming in the cracked door, and shook his whole body as he shook his head 'no'.  He's such a little stink!  He's such a jokester and the little stinker knows he's cute!

What am I going to do?

The season has started

They've already been a couple of times, but now that it's really getting nice the 3 big boys will be gone constantly.  As long as they eventually bring something home to eat it's alright.  Hey, we gotta keep our boys happy and when they go fishing, they stay happy!

Soccerx4

This is Kae's 4th season in soccer.  She is so great!  We're taking it easy this time around, but she's still just enjoying it.  Plus this season (league) is with her classmates.  She IS tough on that field and, I know I've said it before, is natural!  If we never get soccer in school by high school, she will have had fun playing anyways.

Here are her fans.

MMM...late snack

And no, I don't share.  Hey, it's the only time I can sit and savor something I really love.  Tonight's delight was king size Reese's peanut butter cups.  Bad mom, but my mom did it to us and I'm sure the tradition will continue on.

PICTURES!

We have new pictures as of today.  The girls love modeling for me, so I get tons.  Chelsi had to go to the bathroom when I was finishing with the hanboks, so I thought she was done.  She came back when I was cleaning up and pouted until I got it back out for her.  :)  She is a MAJOR ham!

Swingin'

Been a little busy lately.  Friday we had our annual rummage sale and while we got rid of almost everything we came home with a few extras.  Of course, I always buy some new clothes for Kaelin there, but they also had their baby swing....we have our rummage sale at someone else's house with other families.  I traded something of ours for the swing.  Jaemin knew exactly what it was when it came through the door.  Since there never seems to be enough perfect days to go out and swing I asked Brian to get some hooks for the basement living room.  See, we never did finish our ceiling in half of the downstairs, so I figured he can just swing down there sometimes.  We can move it outside to the real swingset when it's nicer.  He LOVED swinging.  How many kids get to swing in the house??

Look at the joy in this face!

Lost Mail?

I'm really hoping it's not lost, but I think it is.  Jaemin's foster sister emailed this week to check and see if we received the Christmas present they sent.  Oh no, it's April and we haven't received anything.  That really worries me.  I wonder what it was?  We would treasure anything from Korea.  I am still holding a little hope it shows up eventually or maybe they sent it through the agency and that's what has held it up.  But, I can't imagine they didn't send it directly to our address since they have it.  I so hope it went through the agency and they just haven't had time yet.  Most of us have all heard of the agencies not having time to send packages out right away and they can sometimes take months...this is what I'm hoping for.
