"The time has come" the walrus said. . .

"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."
(My father used to recite this. . .taken from Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, 1872)


I'm almost ready, people!  In less than 72 hours, I will be boarding Korean Airlines for a trip to the "Land of the Morning Calm".  With a few necessary items and my awesome sister, we are stoked for adventure and plan on taking tons of pictures to capture the moments.  I apologize ahead of time, for those of you that don't want to read about our trip, but I plan on blogging quite a bit and keeping my family and few friends updated.

Will I miss my family?  Of course!
Am I gonna try crazy foods?  Of course!
Am I gonna look like a fool using chopsticks?  Of course!
Am I gonna shop?  Of course!
Will I get lost?  Of course!
Am I gonna try and cross the North Korean border?  NO WAY! (for those of you that haven't been keeping up with the news lately, check out Pres. Carter's last visit to North Korea a few days ago)

I'm outta here!

Am I in a circus, or what?

It's 9:00pm and I'm reflecting on the day. I'm super tired, but I can't go to bed yet on account of Milla's last feeding for the day (scheduled around 10:00pm or so). I can't help but laugh now that I look back on the events of the day, but I was ready to grab the keys and my purse around 4:00pm. Forget any luggage, I'd just charge everything I need or want when I hit my destination-- wherever that was going to be (probably the first of the Florida Keys for some Key Lime Pie). Did I mention I was going to go alone? Maybe I'd take Milla. . . Let me set the scene for you. . .It's 4:00pm, I've been watching the neighbor's two kids since 11:00am. Yes that's a total of 5 kids-- did I mention I have a one month old? Being the thoughtful wife that I am I decided to make chocolate banana bread so Ty could enjoy a nice warm treat. It's Milla's feeding time and Ty has decided to go down for a nap, so I'm trying to keep all the ...

Family Photos

Ya know how families tend to have a theme when its time to take the annual family picture? Don't know what I'm talking about? Picture Mom, Dad, and all eight kids dressed in faux cowboy shirts with those mother of pearl buttons, blue jeans, and cowboy boots and to top it off, they are all sporting home-made denim vests and cowboy hats. Everybody from teen-age Billy right down to the still-in-diapers toddler all dressed exactly alike. The family is neatly arranged on bales of hay with a cheap looking barn back drop. Get the picture? Anyway, I think I found a family photo that takes the cake...and no, this is not us or anybody I know...its from the internets, so feel free to laugh AT them!
