 On its way! 

September 2024

 Oh man, I got behind on posting! The kids have been so busy this fall season, which means, so have I. Swimming, soccer, Korean school, Girls on the Run and listening to Harry Potter audio books on repeat have kept us out of trouble.

People warn you to appreciate them when they're babies, toddlers, preschool age because it goes by so quickly and you'll want the time back. I enjoyed all of those stages, but really felt then (and feel now) that it just gets better + better.  Here's a little summary of my life with my family.

Nova is found reading all the time! It's awesome except when we're running late for something, like swim practice.

The kids are enjoying Korean School which is on Saturday mornings. They are learning so much, and the teachers make the learning interactive and fun. 

Lynx continues to be obsessed with LEGO. This is the school mascot - a blue eagle.

Here are some of the girls who are in Girls on the Run! We've had an excellent season so far. 

More homework in random places! 

The PTA put on a school dance - the first one my kids have been to! Of course, they had a blast with all of their friends + classmates.

Lynx lost his first tooth! And then two days later.....

He lost his second tooth! The toothfairy was busy! 

August 2024

We had a big branch taken off this tree in the backyard. The kids loved watching the men work their magic!

The kids have spent a lot of time reading this summer! I'm very proud of them.

More reading...

Every year, the kids put handprints on their big "back to school" shirts! Here's an action shot from this process.

Lynx too!

This will come as no surprise to anyone: Nova has worn out her suits from the summer! I need buy more. Here she's trying on a JOLYN suit from a friend. She loved it.

Our friends were in an ice skating show so we watched + cheered them on! 

Lynx made this "Minas Tirith"! It's really, really cool! 

Nova attended her first Fitter + Faster Swim Camp this summer and learned a lot! She especially liked the snacks lol.

Then, we headed to Myrtle Beach for the first time! It was a 6 hour drive there, and an 8 hour drive back...traffic can make all the difference. But EVERYONE had a blast during the vacation! 

Lynn doesn't make this face unless I'm taking pictures. Just so you know.

Hahah! Her silly personality, shining through. 

We went on the ferris wheel! It went really high, but you can see that the kids loved it.

SOOOOO much time at the beach!! When they weren't splashing in the waves, they were making sand-creations.

We splurged and went to an escape room which was incredible. EVERYONE LOVED IT! We want to ggo to another one asap

Lynx especially loved the billiards room in the hotel

And, of course, some mini golf to round out the week.

If you're wondering whether I got a hole-in-one during mini-golf, I did.
