first round of friends

Saturday, August 24th, 2013

My friends are coming over for lunch today.

They are the first guests in this house!

Whoa, that’s so high!

Happy to be back together again.

Uncle Austin is making an “action” movie with kids.

They are pretending rocks are coming down from sky.

 

last day of camp

Friday, August 23rd, 2013

Today is the last day of summer camp at the true light church. Shane has been going there for preschool last year and now we are saying goodbye. Chloe also went here for the past two summer camps and she’s very sad to leave.

Shane made this little book called, “I am a ninja. How to be a ninja.” for his friend at school and put one of his own ninjago guys as a present. How sweet is this! He asked me to spell words and wrote everything himself. He worked very hard on this.

They even have page numbers.

Chloe also drew a picture for her best friend. 🙂

my mom

I’m really sad that my mom is leaving for Korea today after being with us for almost 6 months. I’m so grateful for her time here…though I always feel like I didn’t do enough and I should’ve done this and that…

Chloe is also very sad. She’s trying to remember her smell.

My mom is such a faithful christian and I have my faith because of her. 99% of what she speaks about is always about God and her faith… the other 1% being fashion. She’s such a fashionista and a great ambassador of Christ. I love you so much! Missing you terribly already…

I made the ultimate grilled cheese sandwich by Ina Garten. They were fantastic!

Afterwards, we went to a few houses in the neighborhood with small sweet treats hoping to become friends with our neighbors.

This was our Saturday morning.

typical weekend mornings

Sunday, August 11th, 2013

I tried to be creative with food. Today’s breakfast: prosciutto, arugula and grapes on rye bread

Weekend mornings are the only times they can watch TV, so sometimes I let them eat breakfast in the family room. Look at them…they look so focused…

Dinner: Beef ravioli with fresh tomato sauce

tonkatsu pork cutlet and soba noodles

furniture shopping

Saturday, August 10th, 2013

We went to the city to look at some furnitures today. This is one of my favorite stores in the city. I think I found the one…

oh, I also like you too.

I’ll come back for you, you beautiful chandelier.

Picking out swatches for Chloe’s room. Her new color is turquoise.

Then lunch at Republic

My mom and my daughter 🙂
