Home sweet home!

Color Me Delighted

Today I tried to teach Olivia to call out "JON!!!!". And she responded, "Appa!!" (Korean for daddy).

No idea she knew that!

Last MS Sunday

What a family filled Sunday. We - me, Mr. Ho, Olive, mom, dad, and brother - all went to church in the morning. Then we hustled over to AJs on the Lake to meet future SIL and her family. We have met her brother and father but this is the first time we met her mother. There was engagement/wedding talk. But I stayed out of it. It was nice. Her brother is the only Korean dude i know who played college football! I love how our family is getting bigger. My parents have a family portrait hanging in the living room of the 4 of us but we have 3 more people to add to that now! We will probably take a new portrait after their wedding.

After, we just spent some time at home, took Olive to the playground and brought home tons of sushi to eat at home. I don't think the 7 of us have ever spent time together all at once before.

Wish I got a picture!!

I Enjoy

The word THUNDERSNOW.

Church Hats

At the local Sears.

Reunited

My hubby arrived this morning!!! It was a happy reunion!

Can't believe we are missing the first snow on the east coast. Not gonna lie, loving the brisk fall weather here!

Jokes on Me

I was so kidding about the Christmas dress but apparently my own husband didn't question my taste. HAVE I TAUGHT HIM NOTHING?!

Olivias Christmas Dress!

Do you guys loovveee???!

MS Morning

Every morning, my dad makes everyone a veggie/fruit juice. Everyone's is a little different. Mine has 4 carrots, 1 celery, 1 apple, 1 bell pepper, and 2 clementines. It's so yum! I would definitely make it every morning if someone cleaned the juicer afterwards.

Hmm

I miss my husband.

Oli

A molar finally came through which probably explains the runny nose and extreme clinginess.

I swear she sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. She used baby jabber for the words but the melody was definitely there. And she does her abcs but just repeats a and b over and over.

Shes not so little anymore!

MS Days

Attempt

I will try not to buy anything for Olivia since Christmas is 2 months away. Perhaps I will attempt the same thing for myself. Holy shit. 3 months till I'm 30. I need to find a good neck cream.

Molasses

I haven't been updating bc my parents still use Ethernet and the 3G network is slow as...you guessed it. Molasses.

Things are great here. I become such a lazy worthless log down here. No cooking, cleaning, etc. So so lazy. It's such a nice break.

A MS Sunday

Church. Nap. Groceries. Target. Shopping. Dinner with Future SIL.

Dorothy

Yikes

I am def in the south.

Sip

Oli and I are in Mississippi. We flew down this morning. Had to wake up at 530AM. Seemed like such an ungodly hour. Made me rethink my baby fever.

I didn't announce my trip on fb because I'm crazy. Not that I'm this important person that people would pay that much attention to. But my mind wandered... Mr. Ho is in Chicago for work and I was home alone. I didn't post because my mind wandered to what if someone breaks in and attacks us because they know we are alone and vulnerable via a fb status? Rocky is at his sitters so I didn't have our usual alarm system.

The flight was not great. It was a full flight and I was able to procure the only extra seat next to us. That was the only plus. Olivia was so restless. She was pissed from the start of her day because I had to wake her prior to her normal wake time. She just did not stay still and basically used me as a slide. Sit on my lap, slide down my body wet noodle style, repeat. I wanted a shot after that ride.

But it is great to be here. Mom had the walls lined up like Christmas.

The best part, I DON'T HAVE TO COOK FOR 10 DAYS!!!!!

Nom Nom

My lunch: PB&J and jalapeño cheetos.

FB Pic

Did you guys see my new FB pic? Ugh. I love her so much. I know it's sickening sometimes how much I talk about her. Just wait till you have your own. Then you will know. It's overwhelming how much you can love someone unconditionally.

Yippee!

Pee pee in the potty day! She went again. After she peed on the floor 4 times back-to-back, including a nice golden shower on my arm. Pee is sterile, right?

Costco Aftermath

You know those people at the exit who check your cart against the receipt? What a bullish*t job. They did not notice they double charged me for toilet paper.

Fail

I tried to go to Bikram today, but didn't make it. Not for a lack of effort. But due to a hysterical baby. Usually, she's very distracted when her grandparents are here, but I think she has caught on that sometimes Umma will leave for awhile when they arrive early in the morning. Oh well. She has a bit of a runny nose (AGAIN!) so maybe she just feels extra clingy.

I had a great time at BFFF's house yesterday. I actually haven't seen her in a long while. And our kiddies got along so well! Olivia really loves Alex Oppa and thought V Unnie was pretty hilarious.

Everyone needs to go to Cox Farms. It was tres fun.

Too distracted by the tv right now to blog. Costco later.

Scurred

The slides at Cox Farms were scary, but fun!

Ummm...

Apparently fish come up to the surface for air? I thought Fish E. Ho was just crazy? Shows you how much I know!

How was everyone's Saturday? Mine was great! We went grocery shopping as a fam in the morning. Jen and Jess came by in the afternoon. Olivia really, really loves those girls. She was very loving and playful with both of them. We snuck out finally to go to Spa World. You know how with some people you just can't wait for the conversation to dwindle so you can go home? It's never that way with them. Time flies when the three of us get together. Love them to death.

I tried to update my iPhone but my Air doesn't have any room. Annoyed about that.

And no, Olivia did not pee pee in the potty today.

Good night!

HUGEEEE!!!!!!

Olivia pee peed in the potty!!!!! I think it's just a fluke but still... THIS IS BIG!!!

Happy Birthday MIL!

We had dinner at Michel by Michel Richard at the Ritz Tysons. I have to say, I was sort of disappointed with the food. Here are some photos:

Hmm

I think I'm wearing maternity tights.

Tofu Lunch

Update

Fish E. Ho has ADHD. He is always vigorously swimming around and coming to the top for air. I swear he's going to jump out of the bowl one day. Oh Fish E.

Curious

There is a package at the door and I can't get it bc O is sleeping. And the sound of the door will wake her up.

Excited!

Edit: it was my Zara order!

Apples and Jagger

Entranced by "Moves by Jagger." Played on repeat. After the song ends, she yells "moves!". Because I haven't heard the song enough on the radio.

Loud and Clear

Let me just say...

I LOVE COFFEE!

New Face

Look at the extent of plastic surgery girls in Korea will go. For shame!

Favsies

Yum!

Models Feet

This is a model's foot at the Louis Vuitton show. I will never complain again. (source: refinery29)

Zara

My first order off of zara.com - the blouse and the park. We shall see how they are.

Occupy

There's more to the protests than this, but I thought this was pretty great. Responsibility and hard work. Hope to teach Olivia those traits.

Day 2

Bikram was better today. I love our instructor. Shes just so sweet and encouraging.

There were a lot of people today so it got a bit stinky. I kept smelling myself to make sure it wasn't me. It wasn't.

DamnBear

Mr. H got this for Rocky to play with in the backyard. He leaves it in various spots, scaring the crap out of me everytime!

LOL
