Some thoughts about my gifts...

Joey has more ups and downs
His smile makes my day.
Jimmy uses his brain first
His mind is so darn sharp
Joey is firey, he punches and kisses
His attitude is unmatched
Jimmy sits and looks at upside down books
His acceptance is enviable
Joey has no fear whatsoever
He acts with his heart
Jimmy raises an eyebrow, takes a seat
He watches Joey fall down
Joey prefers vegetables to crackers
He even eats beets & broccoli
Jimmy goes for the chicken & hamburger
He is a true carnivore
Joey is an accomplished flirt
Not a lady goes by without a smile
Jimmy knows his head, his belly, his ears, his nose
He learned them each after little reminding

They are both the world’s best huggers
The world’s sloppiest kissers
They eat so well
They poop so much
They love everyone they meet
And of course, everyone they meet loves them.

If only we could bottle up their goodness to share…

Top o' the mornin' to ya!

Hi everybody! Welcome to March. This month we celebrate the day that so many of the Kane ancestors are so proud of, Saint Patrick's Day. I'm not sure how that will manifest itself for us living in Korea, but we will at least drink a Guinness in honor of those crazy Irishmen who went before us.

The picture below is one of my husband and our boys in our living room with our Million Dollar view of Seoul's Hannam Bridge and the Han River behind them. The view gets much better at night when all the headlights and tailights appear, plus the Hannam Bridge has lights on it that constantly change through all the colors of the rainbow. It's very soothing and an awesome perspective. We like in a nice neighborhood; one of our relatives is a Korea Soap Opera star and he has a chauffeur. Crazy!

Here is Joey in one of his typical facial expressions. He has a lot more ups and downs than Jimmy, but his ups are really awesome, and he's up a lot more than he's down. We are on a neighborhood playground in this picture.
This is Jimmy in an expression befitting of the words on his shirt, "Don't Bug Me". Too funny! Jimmy's the more even-keel and serious "thinker" of the pair. He's also got a bit more fear in him and therefore a bit more "sense" about crawling off the sofa or banging his head on our marble floors for fun, for instance --- Joey is very passionate, though. Their personalities are really starting to come through already at 13 months of age!
These are all my boys on some Kimchi pots. If you don't know what Kimchi is, you gotta try it sometime. It's a Korean vegetable dish. In winter, it's cabbage with a whole heck of a lot of red pepper and garlic. It ferments in pots such as the ones below to give it an extra kick. In summer it's got more variety, like radish and cucumber, and is not just a hot wicked veggie, but has normal flavor.

The picture below is of my hubby and I after his unit's Spring Formal. It was a lot of fun to get all dressed up and be entertained by the awesome soldiers in his unit. I have blue accents on my jacket because I am Aviation and he has red because he is Field Artillery.

See you all back on the blog in a couple weeks! Have a fantastic Saint Patrick's Day.
