Visit to our old house...and friends..

We went to visit our old house and friends who lived right next to us in Korea..

It was so good to go back and see them and our old place..

The girls and the boys were like inseparable when we lived there and

they are such a nice family!

:: The boys wanted to check their play house/swings out first...

:: Daddy, you are going to have to wait until we get back....

Back to Korea........

We are in Korea and we all slept well without waking up in the middle of the night regardless of lightening and thunder last night .  We arrived in a raining season so it has been raining on and off..

Our flight to Korea was good(8 hours) and the boys did really well and slept for about 4 hours(I couldn't sleep at all).  The day after we arrived, I couldn't keep my eyes open so I had to take a nap..I think I wasn't fully recovered from jet lag from the previous trip and 8 hours behind(States) to 5 hours ahead (Korea)really messed up my sleeping schedule and made me so tired..  

It is good to be back home and my Mom has been cooking non stop...:). ..She made Kimchi Mandu(dumplings) for us yesterday and it was so yummy! I hope I don't gain too much weight...haha..(Last time I have gained about 7 lb)

We are having a good time but it could been better if James was here with us... 

Okay, now rain rain go away...

Last couple of day at the lake..............

Time has gone flying by......we stayed couple night at the lake cabin and enjoyed our last couple days of relaxing:)  Our longtime friends Debbie and David brought out us a dinner one evening and James's parents joined us as well. After dinner, we had our own fireworks and so much fun playing with sparklers:)

:: I have seen sparkler tricks on a photographer's blog so I wanted to try lowing ISO to 100 and

 it really worked and we had so much fun together..

::LOVE one another..

:: Three Generation of the MOONS

::Thank you...for your friendship

::This boy loves toad....BEN and his TOAD
Toad: Oh..not again....

::Making fire for our last night at the lake

:: so peaceful......

:: Making more memories with love of my life...

13 years ago, one summer night in August 2008, 

James proposed to me here at the lake under the moon light..

:: Before we left to go to the airport...it was sad to say good bye

but we had a great time with you Mom and Dad

Thank you for making all the arrangement for us,

keeping the boys while we were away,

being patient and playful,

teaching the boys a real life lessons..

we love you!
