It's been pretty busy around here so I thought I'd just give you a random photo dump of the kids.  They're growing up so fast!

Luke's 8 month doctor appointment went swimmingly (again).  Oh don't worry, he's still in the 90th percentile for weight.  He also got two shots and didn't even cry!  Stud.





Last weekend we took a quick trip out to Stone Barns.  Did I mention how much Luke hates riding in the car these days?  Here is a picture of him in his car seat upon arrival.  It's hard to see, but those are huge tear drops on his cheeks.  Heart breaking, isn't it?  :(


We stopped and had a really yummy snack at the cafe.  Everyone say "goat cheese!!"



We had SO much fun with Amma and Papa this weekend (thank you so much for coming!).  Papa worked really hard to help us pull our yard together.  And he quickly put Malina to work while Luke supervised.



Big Sister got cozy with Luke before heading out to Super Soccer Stars.



And then we had a dance party to celebrate our Korean heritage...

Crackers...

I shot this video about a month ago, but it cracks me up so I thought it should make the blog.  (Apologies for the "mommy voice").


Our tour of the Midwest

Aunt Renee is celebrating her 37th...  ah-hem, I mean 40th birthday next week so Bryan and I packed up the kids for a tour of the midwest last week.  Here are a few pics of our adorable kids and a surprise ending!

In preparation for the trip, I bought Malina some new headphones so she could wear them on the plane and watch movies on the ipad.  We practiced at home and she loved them!



Luke decided he wanted to try them out too.



Our trip started out Wednesday morning.  Everything was great, the kids did great all through security and as a bonus, we were able to secure a seat for Luke!  Hurray!  But right when 9 am hit, things turned a little sour.  Luke cried for about 30 minutes as we were about to take off, but thankfully he settled down and we were able to enjoy the rest of the flight.  



Two rows behind me was a different story.  Malina was enjoying her movie on the ipad and I SWEAR I saw Bryan reading his Kindle.  Row 12 sounded like first class to me!



We got to harlmoni and harlabogi's house without much of a hitch and the kids did great!  It was really nice to see my parents and spend some time with my mom and dad.  We visited the Botanic Gardens (and the amazing butterfly exhibit!), did a little mall jamming and visited one of my college friends.  Harlmoni and harlabogi were so happy to see the kids.  And as a bonus we got to eat awesome Korean food and some truly organic food from harlmoni's garden -- YUM!





We then drove about four hours to Indy.  I would say about two hours of that trip was spent listening to Luke scream bloody murder.  But fortunately for Malina she almost forgot she had a little baby brother.  "Brother?  What brother??"  What is our lesson here? Everyone in the family needs a set of noise canceling headphones.




We arrived safely to Indy where we were greeted with snacks and cold beers (mommy needed a few to take the edge off) and Luke quickly returned back into the lovable baby he is (thankthelawd!!).




...while Malina found her new best friend, Charlotte (or as Malina called her, Charlie), Reagan's new kitty.  




It was so cute to watch Malina follow her around the house.  She would sometimes find her curled up sleeping on the couch and shout -- "CHARLIE'S SLEEPING!!!"  ...  Charlie would wake up startled and Malina would smile, point to her and quietly say -- "Charlie's awake!"  Hilarious, this girl.






The rest of our visit was great!  The kids had so much fun and it was really nice to spend time with the family.  Our return flight was not so great.  I'll spare you the details but let's just say that the passengers on AA Flight 365 have unanimously voted to put Lukey onTSA's No Fly List.

But our big surprise of the weekend was that Luke started crawling!  Go Luke!



Big Sister is super proud!
