Does this thing still work

Yes, its been like almost two months since I blogged. Kinda got carried away with life. After sickness and school, I forget to anything but sleep. Life is always so busy with everything I'm so thankful for today. thanksgiving. A day to stop and reflect and be happy for all those things we don't seem grateful enough for.

I'm so grateful to my husband for giving up every bit of his freedom in order to provide this life for us. To a wonderful man that is always giving all he has for his family, even if the world doesn't see him as the gentle person I do.

To my wonderful kids who are growing up so fast. Its so amazing to watch the things they learn and the way the learn them. To watch my little boy turn in to this Taekwondo beast is just funny to me. I'm so thankful that we are given this opportunity to be in Korea and for him to learn this! He has really been loving it and has ambitions to grow and get better.

Not to mention his girlfriend that he hopes to some day marry. hehe She is a girl version of himself, red hair, blue eyes, pale skin, goof ball... everything I love in him she likes too. They eat lunch together everyday.

I could go on and on about him but know my little baby ballerina is actually really growing into a kid! She is absolutely in loveeee with ballet. She practices about everyday even though she only goes once a week right now. I'm sure she would go more often if I would let her.

She goes with me everywhere now that Xander is in school. Yesterday we went to the Turkey Bowl. It was chilly out but no where near as bad as it will get. Ali has no issues with bundling up and going out to play with her friends.

I've got my pup here and pup back home that I love and cherish. They are both so loyal. Always there to warn me of anything. They are always protecting the kids from everyone and everything. I do miss my Arrow back home, but know she is save and sound. Soon we will be back together.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

September ending

I'm beyond surprised at where September went. My baby started school, my baby girl started ballet. And some where in all that I got lost on time. It has been a pretty good month though. I got to scrap, socialize, and spends lots of time with my kiddos. We went to the BBQ and Blues and had a blast. We have went to parties and Seoul, and everywhere. I don't feel like I've stopped for one day! Ali is improving and ballet and Xander is blossoming in school! He comes home so excited to tell me about his day and wakes bouncing out of bed to get ready. Ali is becoming a true ballerina with her form and style. She already has the Diva side down pat!

Can't believe the holiday season is almost upon us! I've got a special treat coming up here in a couple weeks or so! The weather suddenly got cold and I'm ready to turn on the heat though I know its a bit soon. Winter boots are on their way and the fleece jammies have been pulled out! I've started decorating and will have photos soon to share :)

Labor Day Fundraiser

Labor Day weekend 2010 was one I will likely never forget! I held a fundraiser for Building Blocks for Parents and Tots. Its a great Community Preschool here in South Korea. Started by the parents to help our kids get an education.

With the help of 7 great boys, I had 6 wonderful photo shoot in 3 days time. This is a record for me, and definitely a huge learning experience for me.

I had the joy of starting Saturday with Rielyn. He reminded me how much fun running and playing like I was 2 again could be!

Then I got to meet Tristan. I hadn't seen Tristan in months and man, has this little one gotten bigger and cuter! He is the cutest little rock star!

Lastly Saturday, was the adorable duo Leo and Riley. They are so much alike and so different. Both fantastic in their own ways :)

Sunday the fun continued with Nicholas' napping smiles. He had the super sweet new baby smell I love. It was such a pleasure to capture his grins.

Later Sunday I got to enjoy Cheerios with my favorite little man, Humberto. His laugh and beautiful eyes are what makes my job so easy!

Last but not least was my wonderful stuntman Keith. He was so easy to work with and rather funny to talk with. We got to spend a few hours on a beautiful day out in South Korea.

The whole weekend was a wonderful success for everyone I hope! I really hope to be able to get a chance to do this again! Maybe in a different setting or for another cause. It was a blast!
