July Vacation Part 1

We left on the 13th of July to go see a U2 concert....that happened to be close by to Kevin's parents -- and also happened to be during the time of Uncle Mark's visit to the States with his new bride, JungMin. Talk about perfect timing! We got to our destination on Thursday the 14th, and Mark and JungMin got to meet April:




and they also got to hang out with Chloe. This was JungMin's first time in the States, so it was her first time meeting Chloe as well!


Oh yeah, and the concert was absolutely over-the-top cool :) Even if they aren't your favorite (Steve D.), you'd get caught up in the excitement when the band members walk in - it's hard not to when an entire stadium of people is on their feet cheering!! We went to the concert with Jeff and Liz Jones and it was really fun to catch up with them :)


The next morning, we met up with our friends the Jones' and our girls got a chance to play together. We spent about 45 minutes at the playground before giving up and heading to the air-conditioned chick-fil-a :)



After our lunch, we headed back to Kevin's parents house and we decided that JungMin and Mark don't really like April ;) Ha!

and they gave some great gifts to Chloe - this puppy has been named Lucky and we took the other toy to the pool already (it's a little bird that fills with water and whistles).

This is called a hanbok, which is traditional Korean wedding attire. Mark gave one to Chloe when she was born and we brought it along with us. Mark and JungMin had brought theirs from Korea, so we had to take a picture with them all together :)


Saturday we went to Mimi and Popop's house for a "Welcome JungMin/Sanders Reunion/Mark Misses Mimi's Cooking" Lunch. The only person missing was Matt :( We got to meet this new little lady, "Chair-e-a" as Chloe calls her (Charity).

I think this picture is too funny - I'm obviously telling Abby something very interesting....as you can tell by the look on Jon's face ;)

Noah and Chloe got to play and we all got to visit :) It was nice to have everyone together!!


July Vacation Part 2 will be coming soon :)

Baby Pool

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h...

Chloe at 11 months

I can hardly believe that Chloe will have her 1st birthday next month. She is getting increasingly mobile these days - her 'crawl' is getting faster and faster. She is also pulling up on anything she trusts and occasionally cruises from one place to another. If you watched the video, you have also seen that she can use the walker...but needs Dad's help on the turns :) Chloe still loves music of any kind ~ she sways back and forth when the music starts. Singing will bring her out of any temper tantrum or pout. She likes to be outside and still tries to eat rocks...something we're still slowly learning... Over Memorial Day, Chloe had quite an interest in the American flag and at the 4th of July we found that her love hadn't faded and she carried around the flag all day. She likes her new toys (nesting boxes and a "push the button, door pops open") but is still interested in some of her old ones. She likes anything with a lid and has a new fascination ...
