Thursday's Thoughts

Lily was asked what she wants to be when she grows up. After much thought, she responded with "Hello Kitty".

As we were walking home from playing at our friend's house, Ella asked me "Is it time to eat yet because I'm having a hungry thought."

Ben can't decide whether he wants to be a fireman or a policeman for Halloween. Think his uncles are having any influence on this boy?!?

Ella decided she wants to be a chef when she grows up. When asked what she can cook, Lily quickly chimed in "hot dog".

In response to her little sister's tantrum, I overheard Ella respond "you've flipped my limit!"

After cleaning the house from top to bottom, repainting a few rooms in the house, and making sure everything was perfect for our Korean guests, Lily decided she wanted to show them her shoes. Without any notice, she led them to the mud room closet. Upon investigating what was going on, I found 3 people, all dressed up, on hands and knees with their heads in the shoe bin. ...And no, I didn't think to clean there. Thanks Lily.



Sisterly Love

Can't you just feel it?

The bond that is forming between these two?

I guess there's another "smitten kitten" in our house other than just me.

안녕하세요 엄마 (Hello Omma!)

안녕하세요 엄마, 아빠, 언니가

Lily wanted to make a video to send to you.

She wants to know if you can send her a video or an email back with a picture. :)

Pretty in Pink

This little one here...loves to be outside.

No matter the weather...

Pushing her baby in the stroller...

Smiling and giggling all the while...

I love this little one...

Tinkerbell

Ella was invited to a friend's birthday party last month. She was so excited to find out she needed to dress up for it.

What little girl would turn that down?

Her costume of choice?

Tinkerbell.

And no, Tinkerbell doesn't wear a crown. But that's the beauty of being 7 and getting to be just who you want to be.

And although she still enjoys dressing up as Tinkerbell...I couldn't help but notice how much more grown up she has become.

...How much more independent my "not-so-little" little girl is.

...How little she needs my help. How little she even wants my help.

And even though she's growing up with each passing day...I still get lost in those baby blues every time I look at them.

This girl will forever have my heart, no matter how old she gets.

Wow...What A Hiatus...

First...apologies all around. Life has been crazy busy this past month which has led to zero new posts. 'Nuff about that.

Second...no more jibba jabba...post some pics, will ya?!?

These were taken a few weeks back. Did you know that running in the rain is more fun with one flip flop and one rain boot?

Ella has a habit of just grabbing the first two shoes her hands come across in the shoe bin and heading out the door. I guess I should just be happy that this time it happened to be two of her own shoes.

A little boogie-woogie helps too. Notice the pointer finger...she's gettin' jiggy wit it.

And Ben? Well, he dances to his own drum...or rather walks around with his eyes closed.

I couldn't stop laughing at how different these two enjoyed the rain.

Sunsets

I love a beautiful sunset.

Taken from my front porch.
