Random October Events


Jonathan started his Taek-won Do Karate classes acouple of weeks ago at the Harrisburg Institute. It's for 4-5 year olds. A bit overwhelming at first, we are trying to get use to it. The tenants of taekwondo is Courtesy*Integrity*Self-Control*Perserverance*Indomitable Spirit. Some Korean language is incorporated in the class.






After one of the classes, we treated the boys for a fun evening at Chuck E Cheese. It's been a fun place for the boys to play and eat yummy pizza. This time we actually got to meet the famous Chuckie mouse!










We've been getting together with a new group called Ta-ri (means Bridge in Korean). This weekend was it's 5th anniversary. Here is a picture of Adam wanting to learn how to play the korean drums. He was the first to go right up and dance around with the girls and was the lead of the line dancing. Pretty brave for a 2-year old. Most of the children there were adopted from American families. It's awesome how the American families are learning the Korean traditions and trying to grow the "bridge" between the two cultures. We'll join the group again and make some more friendships.
We enjoyed a morning at Spiral Path Farms where we were able to pick our own veggies and pumpkins. Jonathan and Adam had fun looking at all the pumpkins. Soon, they were treating them like bowling balls!
And on a final note, I wanted to share that Jim and I are on an amazing journal of 'Love Dare" for 40+ days. From the inspiring movie "FireProof" we have committed our faith to God and will continue this Hope and Love. We know that we can not change one another, but we can leave it in the hands of God to do the work for us. God is awesome. A special thank you for my own mom who has always believed in us and always prayed with me, and a big thank you for my friend Brenda who gave me so much honest guidance in a down to earth kind of christian way with resources I keep going back to, and most of all to my husband who didn't hesitate one bit to move forward and get out of this together. One day we will share our story as christians very much like Kirk and Chelsea.

October is National Pregnancy Loss and Infant Loss Awareness Month.

Selah - I will carry you (Audrey's Song). To all the moms who have lost a child...he or she is waiting in Heaven! Faith, Hope, and Love...the Greatest one is LOVE. Attached is a beautiful song, as the tears roll down my face I can honestly say, that I am so thankful for my two precious boys!

This was posted on my boss's door and I really liked it so here is the post for the beginning of the fall season!
This is your LIFE. Do what you LOVE, and do it often. If you don't like your job, quit. If you don't have enough time, stop watching TV. If you are looking for the love of your life, stop; they will be waiting for you when you start doing the things you love. Stop over analyzing, all emotions are beautiful. When you eat, appreciate every last bite. Open your mind, arms and hearts to new things and people, we are united in our differences. Ask the next person you see what their passion is, and share your inspiring dream with them. Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself. Some opportunities only come once, seize them. LIFE is about the people you meet, and the things you create with them so go out and start creating. LIFE is short. Live your DREAM, and wear your PASSION!
