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!

Back home!

We had a great time in Michigan! So great to see family!

We spent some time in South Haven, Ellie had fun with Grandma and Grandpa Foster. She also got to meet Sampson! Ryan picked up a new sport... kiteboarding.

We then went to Spider Lake for a family reunion. The house had 16 bedrooms! It was amazing, it was great to fit such a big family like ours. We ate LOTS of food... seriously, every hour! We sure do miss good Korean food! There were so many hal-mu-nees and hal-a-buh-gees for Ellie to meet. Also so many ee-mos and uncles! It was nice for Ryan and I to get a break... we don't think we held Ellie for days. Can't wait for PAK family reunion 2009!
