Chuseok 2017: Korean Celebration of the Autumn Moon

Here are our yearly pictures of the boys in their hanboks for Chuseok: Korean celebration of the Autumn Moon.  They look pretty much the same as last years pictures. But oh well.



Don't let the other pictures fool you, this picture represents the tone of the photoshoot completely

Sorry, not at great Joshua picture, but I love this one of Ewin.

J Starts Kindergarten!

Joshua has started Kindergarten! He has been waiting for this for so long! He was most excited to learn, and for recess! He is a very sweet kid. He loves to give people compliments. On the second day of school, he told his teacher that she "looked beautiful." I am constantly receiving compliments on my cooking, hair and even my pajama pants. Joshua is friendliest kid I have ever met! He loves to make friends and will approach any kid he sees and says "Hi, my name is Joshua, I'm five. What is your name?" He loves Minecraft and Plants Vs Zombies. He loves science and knows more random facts than I do. He loves to read his Knowledge Encyclopedia and Mark's Calvin and Hobbes anthology. He loves Legos, or pretty much anything with building capabilities. He loves a good joke and loves to giggle, he will always lose a "no laughing" contest. He is growing up and is becoming quite the individual. His favorite colors are any of the dark colors. His favorite foods are mondoo, spaghetti and any fruit. 






E Starts Joy School!

Ewin has started Joy School! He has been so excited to go, he ran the whole way there! He is 3 now and loves to be a "big boy!" His favorite things are dinosaurs, Joshua, dinosaurs, Star Wars, dinosaurs, daddy and dinosaurs. He loves to eat spinach and broccoli because he can pretend to be an herbivorous dinosaur. He finally learned his letter sounds because I associated each letter with a specific dinosaur. He knows way more dinosaur names than the average person. See a theme, yet? He loves books and it's normal to find 5-8 books tucked under him in bed when he's asleep. He also wants to help with everything. He promises to be "gentle." He loves nursery, especially his nursery leaders. He has followed Joshua's great example and is really friendly. Every time we come across a new kid, he'll say "hi, what's your name?" He still loves to dig and finds himself in messes everywhere we go. He loves his family and tells us often. His favorite color is red, and his favorite foods are cheese, mac and cheese, bread and any fruit.
