Days of Our Lives: August 2009
http://midwestfamilystory.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Days of Our Lives. As of April 2008 we were a waiting family for adopting an infant from South Korea. Now, we are busy/tired/happy parents of a one-year old boy. Wednesday, August 26, 2009. Jaden is not an overly cuddly child. Trying to get him to cuddle is somewhat akin to trying to snuggle with an octopus. A wet octopus. This child rarely sits still. Everyone who meets him calls him "busy." I'm not going to argue. I'll take what I can get. Thursday, August 20, 2009. Travel Visa from Korea. Me on my pre...

Days of Our Lives. As of April 2008 we were a waiting family for adopting an infant from South Korea. Now, we are busy/tired/happy parents of a one-year old boy. Saturday, October 24, 2009. 1 Sitting at highchairs makes you REALLY messy. 2 Sitting at the table makes you look super grown up and serious. 3 You don't need a bib when you sit at the table. 4 You need a hazmat suit to sit at the highchair. 5 Post-meal clean up is reduced by 200% with the introduction of the toddler table chair. I'm sure there ...

Days of Our Lives. As of April 2008 we were a waiting family for adopting an infant from South Korea. Now, we are busy/tired/happy parents of a one-year old boy. Tuesday, February 24, 2009. Confessions of a Spud Hater. I've recently made myself reacquainted with a long-lost enemy: the potato. As of now, the potato-eaters in my household outnumber the potato-haters (namely, me). So, I have decided to take the plunge and begin making potatoes for meals. Had gone to bed. I tried my hand at garlic-mashed...

Days of Our Lives. As of April 2008 we were a waiting family for adopting an infant from South Korea. Now, we are busy/tired/happy parents of a one-year old boy. Friday, November 6, 2009. To date, this is by far the cutest thing Jaden has done. For the past few weeks he gives kisses. All of the time. This is particularly interesting considering he really didn't start kissing until August. Now he is unstoppable. Accompanied by "ooo-ooo" which translates into "kiss me now, now, now!

Saturday, June 27, 2009. Guess what the best selling car in the US happens to be? Tuesday, June 23, 2009. To satiate my need for fresh strawberries. Soon after my parents started growing strawberries in their own garden and since I can remember I helped "pick" them. Two in the mouth, one in the bowl.that was p...However l...

Days of Our Lives. As of April 2008 we were a waiting family for adopting an infant from South Korea. Now, we are busy/tired/happy parents of a one-year old boy. Tuesday, November 24, 2009. This photo was taken two days before we flew across the ocean from Korea to America. That was almost a year ago. And Jaden had a cold. And I thanked all the powers that be that this little guy sucked his thumb. Therefore, I am left to wonder exactly how strong is the skin on the end of one's thumb? Please, please, ple...

We have another week and half before the Great Big Birthday Celebration. We do not have another week and half before Jaden becomes a toddler. Does it make me happy? Of course. Scared? You better believe it. Sad? My heart hurts in a really good way tonight. Thursday, March 26, 2009. That is beside the point. He was fine.

Thanksgiving Vacation: Beyond the Turkey. We fit about as much into three days as humanly possible last week. Here a few of the highlights from Jaden's perspective:. Playing with Grandpa's computer. Note the Super Cool Dump Truck that was just living at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Awesome. You can't see me here, but I...
