Christmas Past (day 25)

I just can't seem to put away the photographs sent from family and friends at Christmastime. So, they still hang on the back of my front door where I can look at them multiple times throughout the day.

Lunch with Friends

It is nice to see we haven't grown up all that much over the past 10 years.

Happy Birthday Carly!

Recipes: food, family, and friends...travel and tradition

I spent the late afternoon putting some of my favorite recipes back in their box after having them accumulate, from frequent use, next to my stove. New favorites were also transcribed from their scraps of paper onto new recipe cards. I love my recipe collection. It makes me feel close to family and friends when we are so far away. New additions also remind me of where we have traveled. Hotteok and kimbap are new additions entering the box today.

Donuts for Dads

Today at Robin's school they had a Father's Day party called "Donuts for Dads." Daddy brought Robin a pink rose! The kids serenaded their Dads, painted pictures of donuts and then shared a snack together. It was a special afternoon!
After school we went and played at the park with a number of Robin's classmates. The girls were enjoying looking at the fountain up until the wind changed direction! They ran once they started getting wet!

3/24/07 5th Birthday Party

Robin and her friend Cole had their 5th birthday party together, Saturday at Yongsan Lanes. Daddy took Robin to get her hair done and nails painted before the festivities. She had a Disney Princess cake and insisted on having the entire piece that had Sleeping Beauty and pink flowers. Of course, all she ended up doing was eating the frosting!

Most of their preschool class came, including their teacher! The kids had a great time bowling. I love how they would celebrate knocking down pins! I also loved how Robin's bowling shoes matched her dress!
