Poor Little LBOS/Care Package #2

I used to be such a darn good blogger and really loved it. I still enjoy it, but more and more it's becoming a bit like homework. I have all sorts of posts that I need to write: a day at the fair this summer, our visit with Mi Yeon, care packages we've sent to Levi, etc. I promise I will get back on the horse and get back to blogging. I know some of you actually still read this blog, and I want/need to have some of these times in our life documented. With Gabe's 3rd birthday and all the holidays fast approaching...I'm gonna really buckle down. Also, I want my fellow bloggers to know that I still do read your blog. I've taken to reading the blogs on my i*ad, which makes it a lot harder to comment.

So let's start out with an easy-peasy post, Levi's 2nd care package:

I know it doesn't look like much, but this little blankie saved us when Gabe came home and I'm hoping that maybe Levi JeeHo will find the same comfort in it. The green blankie just barely squeezed into the gallon bag, along with some socks, some robeez and a picture drawn by Gabe that says "For my brother - Love, Gabe. "



I also included a picture of Gabe with his trusty boo-bah:

My friend Kim, brought this package over this week. LJH should be into the agency with his foster family around October 12 (his 9mos check up) to pick it up.

Great care package, my friend! Sorry you feel like blogging is homework lately. It's OK to take a break ... but know that you are missed and we're always excited to see a post and photos of Gabe (and hopefully Levi soon, too)!

That is so cute that Levi will have a green one and Gabe a blue one! What will Levi call his? Boobah for Gabe and Googah for Levi?! haha. Sure he'll love it all!

I love that Gabe and Levi will have the same blanket! Hopefully Levi will love his just as much. I know blogging can feel like homework--maybe you'll get back into the groove soon. If not, I'll just have to get my Gabe-fix in person. :)

LOVE the blanket...and it will definitely be wonderful for Levi to have when he comes home.

I hear you on the blogging. I swear I used to blog almost every day...or at least every other day...even when D was home. Lately, it is just harder to sit and blog. I also read blogs on the iPad...and while I love it, it does make commenting more challenging. I also think it is why I don't blog as much...since it is SO MUCH EASIER to fire up the iPad than the old PC. I'm OK with that...most of the time.

CUTE pic of Gabe and his blanket. My...how our boys are getting big. Cannot believe we are all getting close to THREE. Gulp!

Girl, I hear ya on the blogging! I love it to the moon and back, but for some reason other things are taken priority right now.

Mr. Levi's care package makes me smile wide.

Wow, I'm late to this post. I'm sorry that blogging is feeling not fun, and homework-y. Know that it's ok to not blog for a little while. We all need a break every now and then...
