A Healing Journey On Butterfly Wings

Today, we went to Klehm Arboretum to release butterflies. The butterfly release was a program through our local Hospice. We released 6 butterflies in honor of Grandpa Ed. One for each of his grandchildren. It was so beautiful and such a wonderful experience. Thank you Mom for doing this for all of us. We all miss Grandpa Ed. Today felt like he was right along side of us.

Minnesota Vacation

We just got back from our vacation in Minnesota. We went to Ojibway resort, Steve grandparents used to own it. We had fun seeing where Steve spent his summers. The kids loved catching fish.

Somethings I learned on my vacation:

1) Minnesota is beautiful!!

2) Minnesota has mosquito's the size of birds. Next time we will bring more bug spray for the outside of our cabin.

3) We can survive a week with no T.V.

4) We should of brought more warm clothes.

5) I loved the boat ride, but the fishing was not my cup of tea!

Sofia's last day of 4year old preschool

Sofia's teacher's!

Today, we went to Sofia's school for a picnic. The kids all played on the playground and the mom's and dad's got to have hot dogs for lunch. The kids were way to busy to sit and eat. Sofia is really going to miss all her friends. Next year she will be going to a different school. She is very excited to be out of school and for summer to begin.

Memorial Day

We spent Memorial Day weekend at my Uncle Jeff and Aunt Cindy's house. The kids loved it. They have lots of land. So the kids were able to run and play, they have four wheelers and a swing set. Everything a kid would want. They also have beef cows, Drew got to feed the baby calf. Thank you for having us.

Last day with Kyunguk:(

"Our 3 Monkey's"

Today was the last day Kyunguk would be staying with us. It was such an Honor to have him stay with us this past weekend. I hope we didn't wear him out! On his last day we decided to take him to the zoo. It was a beautiful day, until it started to rain after we ate lunch. So we had to cut our zoo day short.

After dinner it was time to say our goodbyes, or what I like to say "see you later! It was very sad:(

We had such a wonderful time being a Host Family. We didn't know what to expect. Wow, such an amazing experience. Kyunguk will always be part of our family, and will always be welcome here with his "American Family" He is such a wonderful man. The kids love him, and we do to. Both kids continue to ask when Hyeong/Oppa is coming back. We all miss him very much:(

Happy Mother's Day

Sofia had a Mother's Day program. The program was soooo cute. After the program the teacher told us all the kids had a special surprise for all the mom's. Sofia painted me a stepping stone. It's very cute.

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mother's! I had a wonderful Mother's. It started out with breakfast with My Mother-in-law. We then came home and had fun playing with the kids in the backyard. My wonderful husband cook us dinner on the Grill. Happy Mother's Day Mom, I Love you! I owe you lots!

"See You Later Party" :(

What a fun night we had. We really are going to miss all the students. Some will back others will not. We got to taste Korean beer and wine. I loved the rice wine, the beer was not so good. We will miss you all.
