I seriously think his Uncle Chris had this hair in the 80's.





I make this look good right?

Visiting Halmoni

We took the kids to Columbus to see my mom. I think they are getting less patient with their car seats since we normally don't drive them very much around town. Two hours seems to be their limit. The last time we were here we left a baby pool so they'd have something to do at my mom's incredibly dangerous house. It's every parents nightmare - hard floors, glass table tops, open fireplace, uncovered light sockets, etc. Sigh.

Mr. Personality. He was hamming it up.









My mom went with us to Cooper Creek Park and got on the slide with Stella.







And then we had 4 lbs of steamed crab legs and korean food for Stella. She will eat anything off of chopsticks...including kimchee chigae.

Fourth of July

We had a pretty busy 4th with friends over in the morning for brunch and a park visit then a party after naps.


I know I've said it before but i may never let him move out of the house. He's my little bug.

Aaron spent most of the party hanging out in a kiddie pool while Stella ran around and tried to keep cool. The local fireworks weren't supposed to get underway until 9:30 and we'd already decided we wouldn't try to catch them since that is so far past the kids bedtime...but at the last minute I changed my mind and we threw the babes in the stroller and headed into town.

I'd have predicted that Stella would've loved the show and Aaron would've been uninterested but I couldn't have been more wrong. Ms. Stella is absolutely fearless UNLESS something makes a loud noise. She spent the entire 30 minutes in my lap with her arms locked around my neck. At first she just said, "no no no no", over and over again but soon she was just silent.


What was that sound?


Here we are on the lawn at Decatur First Christian Church. This is where we took the kids on that snowy day this past winter.


These fireworks are friggin' sweet!

Aaron

Would you like to see my new house?



It's just right over here



Well here is the view outside



And my favorite part...the kitchen. I'm a great cook.

Cutie

Stella calls the beads her "pretties". She must have fluffed her hair out before we went to the park.
