Happy Holidays!!!!

We hope that everyone is enjoying the holiday season. We sure are... Ellie's first Christmas! We will be up in Michigan to spend some time with family and friends. Ellie is growing more and more everyday. She is walking and getting into everything!

We miss everyone and hope that we get to see you soon!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Love, Linda, Ryan, and Ellie

Halloween 2008 plus others

Sorry it's been a while since the last time we posted pics. We spent some time in Michigan, visited Ann arbor! So much fun! I miss that place!
And of course, Ellie's first halloween was lots of fun... dressed up as a lion!!!
Ellie's cruising around now, eating everything, and slowing turning into a little trouble maker!! Oh what fun!!!
We miss everyone!!! Hope you all had a great halloween!
Happy fall!!!

Aunt Lib & Shan come for a visit... finally!

Libby and Shannon came for a few days to visit Wilmington and meet Ellie for the first time! It had been way too long since the last time we had seen them. We had the best time, it was so great to see them! Ellie had fun hanging with the girls... shopping, hanging out at the beach and just catching up... lots of chatting!

We are enjoying the end of the summer, wishing that it would cool off just a touch.

Ellie is crawling everywhere! She's pulling herself up too! She is teething right now... wish is such a joy!!! The drool and the snot are endless! :) We are still just enjoying every minute of her.

We hope that everyone is doing well!

Surviving Hanna '08

We made it through hurricane Hanna unscathed. Linda and Ellie slept through everything. I got stuck working. Here's a few pics. You'll notice how we protected Ellie from projectiles. The other pic is pretty much self-explanatory.

Michigan pics

We just got back from Michigan! It was nice and relaxing. Great to see family! Unfortunately, I didn't do a very good job with taking pictures. Here are a few.

And for an Ellie update:
Ellie is moving everywhere. I don't think she knows how to stay still anymore. She is sitting now and she is even starting to push herself up to sit. She is almost crawling... she has the knee motion but still trying to figure out her arms to crawl. She says "umma" alot but I can't tell if she understands what she is saying. (umma is mom in Korean)

We miss everyone!!! Hope you are all doing well. We love hearing from you so... publish posts on the blog! :)

Boys Toys>Girls Toys

Went to ToysRUs today...what a blast. Linda couldn't make a decision between the Caddy and the John Deere, so we're going to hold off for now.

Mover and a Shaker!

Ellie is just becoming more and more fun everyday. She is able to scoot backwards, pushing off with her arms. She is getting so strong. It seems like in no time she will be crawling. She's eating solid food now and loving every moment of it.

My parents came to visit last weekend and we had a great time. It was my dad's first time in Wilmington... he definitely enjoyed all the golfing! And of course, they loved seeing Ellie... I don't think my mom let go of her the whole time! :)

Elizabeth Foster- July 2008

Hi Everyone!!! I hope you are all having a great summer. Ellie is doing awesome. It's amazing to watch her... she is really changing daily. She is pushing up when she is on her stomach,pretty high, and almost sitting up by herself (of course, then she topples down). She is putting everything in her mouth... I liked the pic of her eating the couch!:) Ryan and I are doing well. Ryan is getting into the kiteboarding thing which is pretty cool. And me... same old, same old, loving being a mom! I've discovered facebook and it is becoming a slight obsession. :) Miss you all!

Hot Summer Days

Sorry that it's been a while... We are enjoying the hot summer days. Ellie is doing great! She spent her first time at the beach in her little bikini! She is rolling around all the time now and can't keep her fingers and toes out of her mouth! It's hilarious, we think she is probably teething. It's amazing that Ellie's 5 months already! We miss everyone. Don't forget, there's always extra space here for anyone to visit!
