All the fun we had in November...

November was full of excitement and in one blog entry we will do a month recap... well sort of but here it goes.

We found a Carters in Ulsan... if you know what carters is you know how excited I was to find it... things are way more expensive than the US but I did get my hands on this cute little Turkey outfit (the bear hat was from a friend).

In preparation for Dec... the month that has a lot of excitement and meaning for our family that happens to have a lot of gift giving in it and shopping... Here is one of Pierce's list to get at the store... Candy, Toys, Car, Pen, and Phone... 

We had a wonderful thanksgiving feast with our church family and here is a picture of all our trimmings that we brought... feta cous cous, broccoli and rice and turkey sugar cookies

And this guy has decided to be a lazy eater... For the first few minutes of a feed he will eat with passion but the remainder 20+ minutes he would prefer to have the bottle drip in his mouth but he sure is cute... We think this is funny bc when Pierce was this age he would suck the bottle down in a matter of minutes until the last drop and Asher rarely finishes a whole bottle.

Another score from Caters... little brother... but what is great about this picture is that Asher is 3.5 months old here and wearing 9 mos clothing... we have another beast...

Asher is the most laid back baby... when he is awake he is full of smiles and laughter and will go with the flow all day long.  I had him in the car one morning after dropping off brother and I heard Asher whimper a little bit in the back seat but soon went silent.  I parked the car and this is what I found... so patient... he probably could not see bc of the hat with a little spit up he decided to let me know about it but then thought that was to much effort so he just went to sleep... 

We got some lovin this month from family and friends... we just love packages and Pierce got his first nutcracker from JuJu and KW... he loves it... and wanted to see if it would crack a nut... but I had to explain that somethings are made just for decoration and this was probably one of them.

Just to cute not to share... 

Snug as a bug... it has gotten a lot colder here these days (we even had snow today) so I am having to learn how to wrap up my children... and keep them warm... 

 

My first goodbye here in Ulsan... the worst part of expat living and it only took 6 mos for me to meet someone that I enjoyed being with and then to turn around and have to say goodbye as they headed back to their home country... here we are a girls lunch sending her off with pumpkin and duck.

We are so proud of our big star... he got another Star of the Week... the first one he got in Art and this time he got in Music... the teachers pick a student that stood out compared to the others... He was so proud to get it and we were too... 

And this man is our little star and is finally sleeping through the night... he will go to bed around 8pm, get a dream feed around 11 and then wakes up around 7 am... this picture was taken the morning of his first big sleep... so happy (both of us).

Our sweet friends, the Willertons sent Asher this cool pacifier... their baby is a week younger than Asher and they knew that Asher would love this pacifier that has an attached monkey... and they were right... 

Just a random picture of our morning in the elevator going to school... Pierce all bundled up and smiling to go play with his friends... but lovin on Asher before he leaves him all day... we sure are happy when brother gets back from school.

One morning I joined a friend for a tea at Starbucks and I forgot Asher's pacifier... he was getting tired and needed his pacifier so I tried my finger... yes Asher is totally a sleep here... love this kid....

We got a package full of great memories from Kathy May (Sara May's mom) which included hats that were worn by Sara May... and they fit Asher perfectly... Asher has a big head :-)... and check out this onsie... this picture is cute to me in so many way but especially seeing something that was made in Singapore wearing a beanie... just does not go together but cute.
