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 …
Reunion
Happy Birthday
When you turn 80, it’s almost guaranteed to be a big birthday celebration. But to make it a “secret” birthday party was like pulling of a top secret military operation. And somehow, her three sons did it. We had fun celebrating with her. The food, all homemade, by the boys was delicious. The funny stories …
Cedar Point
The boy feels the need for speed. Last week, we visited Cedar Point. Let’s just say the boy is no longer into the kiddie rides. His first big boy ride was the Iron Dragon. He jumped right on it with his cousin. And came off laughing with joy. He followed that up with the Mean …
Pups
A little disclaimer, the grand pups clearly ruled the house before (and mostly) after the little guy arrived home. My oldest pup is by far my favorite baby. So when we found that she had early onset heart disease, it rocked mommy’s world. Luckily, for now, her meds seem to be working. The sad part, …
Dreaming
A boy, and by that I mean a grown man (aka daddy) can dream. The next day following the practice round this started: Oddly, it was the little guy who wanted to golf…and with that daddy beamed and whisked him out to the golf mat. After an hour hitting the balls and working on technique, …
