Baby Backpack Season

Hi Everyone!

We had a pretty boring 4th of July, since it was on a Wednesday, Jim had to stay up north at his "workweek" home, so the boys and I were home alone. The highpoint of our day was a short jog down to the American housing area to play on their awesome playground and swings. The boys are already naturally going in opposite directions when at all possible in public, so it's fun to gauge the level of risk when choosing who to be closer to! The climber seems to get most of my attention. They will climb onto anything lately - so far (knock on cheap Korean pressboard) no big falls!

This is the look on Joey's face after being told that he will live in this box forever if he doesn't go to college!

We got some stuff in the mail the other day and the nanny immediately did what the boys normally argue must be done --- make us a cardboard car! It's the least expensive toy out there and sometimes they even take turns pushing each other around in them!

Now that it is warmer out, we've broken out the baby backpacks again and each Saturday that Jim is down in Seoul, we climb up to the neighborhood Pagoda that overlooks a neat couple of bridges on the Han River --- unfortunately the summers aren't especially sunny here, so the view is not very clear.

Jimmy's on the left, Joey on the right ... they like running around on the Pagoda after riding their Mommy and Daddy pack-mules up to the top every Saturday!
