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.

First First Day O' School

This past week was Gabe's first day of preschool. Since he has a November birthday, it's the 2's and only 2 days a week. The first day was only an hour and the moms and dads stayed in the room. I will admit that I was a both teary and proud as we crossed the parking lot, hand in hand, Gabe wearing his new backpack bounding to the building. Gabe dove right in and played with all sorts of toys they had set out. He even played by himself for about 15 mins. When we left I asked him if he had fun he said "Yes, mommy was there." Wish us luck for his first full day tomorrow :)

A Bowl of Ice Cream

I have to say we ate A LOT of ice cream this summer. A walk to the local custard place, a spontaneous stop on the way home from a fun day, at the fair or zoo and of course in our house. I'm sure (hope) it slows down now that fall is rolling in, but all that fun ice cream this summer just screams "childhood" to me.
Let's see how many facial expressions Gabe can make while wolfing down a bowl of vanilla, his favorite flavor.
