Now that we're back in the US, I'm getting into the holiday spirit again. You can ask Chris and the kids...I was definitely Ms.-Bah-Humbug last year.

Our neighbor's yard is full of fallen leaves, so the other day after school, I took the girls over there for a ( Read more... )

Decided to do something different today and actually go out! Maya went to her friend's house for a playdate, Chris went to work, and Nadia and I met Marisa at Cheongyecheon ( Read more... )
