Ginseng Korian BBQ and Tofu
475 Castro St, Mountain View, CA 94041, (650) 967-3913
Last night, being the hungry man that I am around dinner time, I was in the lookout for a restaurant.  A good restaurant mind you- not something that I could eat while in Utah.  When I’m on the road, I want good, ethnic [...]

Jackie’s Bath Time ~August’s Mommy-Made Baby Book

Date August 19, 2008

This month I have been working on making Jacs a book that describes her bath time.  The purpose is to build vocabulary with things that are familiar to her.  Instead of reading about another baby’s bath time experience, why not read about her own?  It would be more meaningful.
She also loves taking baths (just yesterday [...]

Water Baby

Date August 16, 2008

Aaron and I took Jacsie swimming Saturday for her first time. Aaron is the swimmer of our family and it was fun for him to share this experience with her. I was excited just to see how Jacs would react! At first she was unsure- she had a very puzzled look on [...]

Max and Sam at the Dog Park

Date August 11, 2008

We took Max and Sammy to the local dog park Sunday for their very first time. Max gets really excited around other dogs so we knew that he would love it. Sammy is so skittish from being abused as a puppy that we figured that a little friendly socializing would be good [...]

Sorry Elders…

Date August 10, 2008

Happy Camper

Date August 9, 2008

We took little Jacsie on her first camping trip with her grandma and grandpa. She had a great time- she is a very curious little girl and was content despite the change in environment. Jackie absolutely loved the campfire… she would talk to it and flail her arms about- as if she was [...]

Bon Anniversaire de Mariage!

Date August 7, 2008

Aaron and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary August 7th.  I can’t believe it has been 9 years!  Anyways, we chose a culture or country as a “theme” for our anniversary celebrations.  We try to learn as much as we can and integrate that culture into our big day- whether it be through the foods [...]

9 Months Old and Lovin’ It!

Date August 5, 2008

Jacs is now 9 months old- we can’t even believe how fast the time has gone! Our little girl is growing up- she has so much to say and is so active throughout the day that by nighttime we are all exhausted! She happily will “pah” “tah” “dah” “dee” when exploring new objects (99% of [...]
