Hi Everyone - My attempts to add pictures are slow going. I bought a new camera - a few days before coming over here and my attempt to put them on this blog via this computer has been unsuccessful. I will try using a new computer soon. Our week/weekend has been busy. It was Lukas' BD last Thursday. We celebrated by going to McDonalds. It was good - but got late as we turned it into a walking grocery trip. We got ice cream as his BD treat. Andrew and I split a malt - we went to Basken Robins....we tried a flavor coined as "Grandma's secret recipe" shake. It tasted like sawdust. We can't quite figure out what the secret incgredient was - we won't be ordering that one again anytime soon. We then went to school on Friday then headed to the baseball game in the evening. We watched the professional baseball team for Daejeon (the Eagles) play in the evening. It was exciting. There were 2 cheerleaders doing some interesting dances... lots of people cheering and dancing. They cheer for every little thing and stand much of the time. We had a good time. We bought fried chicken outside of the stadium and may have gotten ripped off for prices - but the experience was worth it. We then got home at 10:30 - taking the city buses. On Sat. we went to Songtan - and shopped near an army base there - we could use American dollars.. It was good, but extremely hot and our 2 younger children didn't have their listening caps on! Not good. The children in Korea are better listeners than our children seem to be---but we still love them! I keep telling them to take lessons from the other kids - it hasn't sunk in quite yet. We shopped all day - dripped of sweat - were tired when we returned on the bus around 6 p.m. We decided we needed to go out that evening to try to get some bread - this turned into a shopping trip -long walk - no bread - home around 8....eating dinner then. YIKES. We finally got the kiddos to bed then headed off to bed ourselves. We woke up and went to church on Sunday. We then go out for lunch. We found a quaint little place called Jin and Kinnos. They are 2 very hard workers who serve some fantastic 'western' pancakes. YUM> We then went on a walking trip to HOMEPLUS - our new Target in Korea. We were on a search for play table and chairs for Anja and Lonne. We found our 'stuffs' plus groceries. We are trying to be brave and try many different items to see what we like and don't. The food thing is slow going - but we definitely aren' starving. Don't worry about us. There is plenty of icecream treats to go around! Anyway - today was a long day at work. We have PD on Monday's until 5 p.m. It is a lot to learn. Open Houses are coming - there are quite a few requirements. We once again are getting observed which brings us back to our first years teaching. We are definately learning - albeit slow at times - we are trying to do our best, but this at times means preparing minutes before the block.... Anyway- I've got to correct some journals - Andrew is working on his stuff. We finally have the kids down for once which is a success - it has been tough in that regard - This journey is a test in patience that is all I have to say - God truly has a master plan for us in Korea! Anyway - take Care - when I get the pictures up and running - I will post as many as I can.
