back in Korea

Well, we made it safe and sound back to Korea for our second visit. The trip over went as efficiently as it could. Both boys did get some sleep on the second flight of our trip from Seattle to Seoul. I, however, was up for 37 hours straight—yuck! Andrew seems to be over the worst of the jetlag. He has already been to Everland (a very large amusement park) with our Korean friends. He had a ball. We plan to go again maybe next month as a family. Mark and I were just not up to it after only being here less than two days. Andrew starts soccer practice today and will have soccer games on Saturday mornings. He is also going to do AWANA which meets on Wednesdays. We are all feeling very blessed and happy to be back together as a family. It was hard to be apart for the summer. Yesterday was a very big and important day for our family—Joseph pinned on Lieutenant Colonel. We are all so thrilled for him and this next stage of his Air Force career. His boss Col. Harris pinned on one side and Andrew helped me pin on the other side. Mark, thankfully, fell asleep during Col. Harris’ speech (no offence Col. Harris!) and our friend Owen held Mark for us while his wife Lynniece took pictures. On the exercise front, I have been missing doing yoga on the Wii Fit in the afternoons. So, the boys and I have been doing some yoga moves for Dad (and making Dad laugh!). We have also been enjoying catching up with all our friends here in Korea. It is good to be back! We are planning another adventure for this coming Saturday so we will keep you posted.
