FIRST HAIRCUTS!!!

Here Jimmy is getting his first haircut! The lady did a very good job - taking advantage of precious seconds that were available when he decided to sit still. Jim held each of them throughout the process as I tried to hold the other one and take a picture. We will definitely remember MooShi's name when we go back for another trim!

Don't let this pcutre deceive you - Joey was not well-behaved at all during his haircut, but I have to admit that they do look a lot less scraggy than they did before with Jimmy nearly having a full-blown mullett!












This is one of our regular stops every weekend - the Starbuck on post. We had just gotten the boys these tricycles, so we drove them onto post and pushed them around on them for a bit and stopped for Frappucino's in the middle - they look like little cruisers in the picture. They are slowly getting used to using the tricycles now but still aren't able to understand the pedalling part of it, so we push and steer with the high handle in the back of each which is easily removable.









On Labor Day, we went with the baby backpacks out to the Gwanghamun neighborhood of Seoul and we found a Tony Roma's, where Jimmy skipped lunch in lieu of a nap!











Here is a post-haircut shot of Jimmy's big smile. This was taken in the back of the nice hotel on the Army Post. He flashes this smile a lot and it is starting to really fill in since they are finally getting canine teeth and molars.

16 Days Away ...

It's been a while, but I have a good reason. I had to go away for work for the last 16 days of August, so I crammed in all the Mommy and her Boys time before leaving and therefore didn't have time to update this. Also, over this past 4-Day weekend, it was the same story, making up for the time lost.

They boys are getting so big and starting to make decisions. They say about 8 words that we can understand... Car, ball, cheese, teeth, backpack, dadda, bye-bye, and "NO". It's so neat when we can actually understand something they say!!!

So, that pic above was Joey and this one is Jimmy. My sister had gotten this pic emailed to her and she said it looks like Jimmy is flipping the camera off, but I didn't notice that, I just thought he looked so innocent and now it looks a little devilish. They had a good time at the playground on one rare sunny summer day in Seoul.

This is from early August. The four of us went "Playground-hunting" in TongDucheon, Korea --- up near whtere Jimmy and Joey's daddy works Monday - Friday. We found a new thing for the kiddos to try, a merry-go-round. They liked it a lot and were all decked out in their throw-back muscle shirts playing on the throw-back equipment. The high-rises in the background are typical of the cities in this part of Korea. Pretty neat, but look scummy awful fast --- these are rather new.

After dropping Dad off at the bus station to head up back north on a Sunday afternoon, the kids crashed and I snuck them up to bed a bit early, but they did sleep through the night regardless. Aren't they darling?
