Thou Shalt Not...

The Set-up: We are all in the family car, driving down the street and I (the mommy) am singing a hip, upbeat song heartily.
Dylan: Aaaah! Mom! Please stop singing that song, I HATE that song!
Becky: What? I thought you said the other day that it was one of your favorite songs.
Dylan: Well, I decided to employ one of my special skills...and also one of my hobbies....LIEING!
Owen and Becky: HA HA HA HA...ha ha ha...uh...(nervous and concerned chuckling).
1. And so it was established, being the day called Uhm in the month called June that Owen and Becky felt to sing the song of ill-parenting in that they had failed to teach young Dylan, the true meaning of an essential judeo-christian value of honesty. 2. Lamentation heaped heartily upon their minds and a long lecture crossed their lips. 3.Dylan, being perfectly reprimanded, assured the parentage that he would, in fact, try his best to not lie and to also to tell the full truth.

Gratitude

Gratitude...
Unlocks the fullness of life.
It turns what we have into enough, and more.
It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.
It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
-Melody Beattie

Stuff...

Today is the 14th anniversary of our marriage. That makes me feel happy and old. I still love him just like I did waaaay back then but with more reason to do so. At this point in the game, I thought we'd have a few more kids, a bit more stuff, and feel like we knew what we were doing a bit more than we do. I'm grateful for what we do have and hope that the next 14 years leaves us feeling just as blessed.

Jagalchi Market

We visited the Jagalchi (fish) market today. It was quite a sight but we could have done without the smell. Eeew. I liked visiting the fresh food market more but unfortunately my cameras battery wasn't charged enough to catch the sights there.




























What King Kong does on the weekends.

Beomeosa Temple

These kitties made me really happy for some reason.

I think my son is really, really adorable. I just can't help it!

I dare you to try and find something in this shop!


Oh, and there was even a Superman sighting while we were at the Gukje Market!
