Long rambling video

Here are some random photos of me and the kids

Nathan answers "Yes" in Korean

Nathan is growing so big. He says a few words now. Still, he is unintelligible to most people. We did get him to respond when we call his name

Ellie paints and is at the piano

This is a video I took today out of the blue. I know I haven't been updating the site much but I am going to try to be better about doing it. Ellie loves art. She likes to draw and paint. I just wanted to share with you.

Ellie goes to school, Aiden tried school for a while, but is now at home, and Nathan is happily at home. Aiden used to be so kind to Nathan. But ever since Nathan started walking and getting into Aiden's things, Aiden has been showing no mercy.

Our trip to Legoland 4/09

We took a family vacation and visited some dear friends of ours.

We also went to Legoland :)

My little girl

Here is Ellie

My Sons (AIden and Nathan)

These guys were out shopping and we thought we'd have a little fun

Ellie cut Aiden's hair

I was changing Nathan and Ellie and Aiden came to me and said "ta da". Ellie had just cut Aiden's hair. I almost lost it. We had just paid to get Aiden's hair cut.

So, here he is.

Ellie loves the camera

Here Ellie is posing with her friend. I thought this picture reflected her playful personality

More pictures of Ellie's birthday party

Ellie opened a ton of presents. Needless to say, she was HAPPY!

Ellie's 5th Birthday

I know that I have not updated in a really, really long time. But yesterday our daughter had a birthday party to celebrate turning 5.

We invited her friends and had a really fun time. My sisters helped me decorate, clean and prepare food. I probably would not have been so ambitious if it were not for them.

I am posting some pictures.

Nathan did it again.

Nathan flipped over from his tummy to his back today. Now he can roll and roll and roll. This is the reason I am blogging today.

But so much has happened since I last posted comments. The kids had fun on Halloween. Ellie won third place for making a pumpkin out of construction paper. She said the friend that placed first had help from an adult. For half a day she kept complaining that she only placed third because I didn't help her. I kept trying to explain that third place was something to be very proud of, especially since she did it herself. I don't know if she got it. Luckily, first place and third place received the same prize: a bag of candy. Of course Ellie wanted to be a princess. Aiden was only interested in the candy. Aiden also handed candy out to trick or treaters at our house. He did a really good job. A 7 year old boy came dressed as the incredible hulk and had a green mask as well. Aiden was so scared he drew back. The boy lifted his mask and Aiden laughed and gave him a piece of candy. It was so cute. Aiden kept saying "there you go" as he handed out the candy and then said "Happy Halloween" as they were leaving.

Last weekend Ellie and Aiden went to a wedding with their grandparents. Ellie had a lot of fun with her aunt there. Aiden was a handful. Once they got back, his grandparents vowed never to take him anywhere. :)

Aiden also seems to be taking after his sister. He likes coloring and drawing. He also really likes to be read to. It is a fun age. He is also really responding well to discipline. I found it really hard to discipline him because he cried alot and his grandparents were softies. We really cracked down on Aiden while his grandparents were away and have tried to continue being consistent with discipline since they have been back.
