I try to make hot lunches for the kids every morning. I guess growing up in Korea that’s what my mom used to do for me and my brother until we graduated middle school…I think about her every time I’m packing kids lunches…

Kids have been taking pottery classes after school and here are some projects this fall.

We had a family of 5 over for a sleepover last night. While kids played at home with a babysitter, we adults got to go out to a nice relaxing dinner. Then after kids went to bed, (oh I don’t know like around 10pm), we stayed up late chatting while sipping Irish coffee.

Bruch the next morning

What a great time we had! Thanks for coming over Lee family~

In celebration of Halloween, my yogi friend/coworker and I went to a blacklight yoga class at Pure West in the city. It was so much fun!

I started taking yoga classes last year in september and I feel like my body has changed since then. I have issues in my neck down to my lower back for many years and honestly, my pain has been significantly better if any and it’s because of yoga! I highly recommend to all of my friends and I can’t wait to introduce Chloe to it. My big concern with yoga before I started was spiritual aspect to it. You are told to “meditate” and empty out and clear your mind and I don’t agree with some of yogi beliefs. I learned to use the meditation time to pray to God and ask the Holy spirit to “fill me” instead of emptying out my mind. It also helped that I found a really great contemporary flow yoga practice in LT gym. I love it!

We just come right down about a few blocks, and that’s where all our town people come.

Chloe’s carrying that eye ballon so I can keep an “eye” on her. 😉 It can get crazy around here and even between Andrew and I, we kept loosing the site of our kids last year.

Shane’s with the Pope this year so he’s in good hands. He had the best costume!

They gave out hot dogs….

We had a little impromptu party with Chloe and Shane’s friends in our backyard before going out trick or treating.

Somehow it always turns into a spa party with Chloe’s friends.

Chloe’s a musketeer and Shane’s a wizard.

So happy to see these faces again! And Shane lost his front teeth today! 

I told the kids to hold off on ghosting until I return and that’s the first thing I had to do when I came back!
