Location: Seongnam, Korea (South)

Well, it has been much too long since we last wrote an entry. Sorry about that. So much has happened, but I'll keep it short. We've started another school year at S.I.S. Kayla is in Grade 1 and is loving it. She has amazing teachers and fantastic friends. She has also started in a sports academy once a week. Danika started the year off at home with my mom (which we are soooooo thankful for) and is now at the school nursery. We had forgotten how quickly babies grow and develop. Danika is now sitting up and is so close to crawling. She's a real character and truly admires her big sister Kayla. Jeff has just finished the volleyball season and is still working on his masters. I'm even busier than last year and there just aren't enough hours in the day.
The most recent photos I've posted were taken in the last three months. While mom was here, we went to De-eejakdo (an island) with Kris and Mike and some of their friends. It was beautiful and so nice to get out of the city. We also went to Andong City for the annual mask festival. That was pretty cool and there were a ton of things for Kayla to do. Unfortunately, we did not go to the MAIN site, a 45 minute bus ride away. Maybe next year. Halloween this year was celebrated 4 times!!!! Kayla went trick or treating the week before Halloween, once at school, once around the S.I.S teachers' apartments, then once more at a Halloween party hosted by another International School. Needless to say, I was NOT disappointed when Jeff went to the S.I.S teachers' Halloween Party and I was designated babysitter.
This weekend is American Thanksgiving. Thank goodness for holidays. We are very much in need of some R and R.
Take care!
