My living doll

I love having a girl. It's so fun dressing you! I bought this crown shirt for you as one of your many gifts for your birthday and I wish they made it in my size! 

Her first Tiffany's

Today was a special day. We wanted to treat our mom to a day of shopping and dinner to celebrate her birthday. It's been a rough year for all of us, especially for her. We met our mom and Auntie Sara at Yorkdale this afternoon and browsed at a few stores before we headed for dinner at Seoul House. It's been so long since we had a day of shopping together. With our dad being sick and Auntie Jess and I taking care of kids, it was really hard to make time to do something fun for us. Although I did have to take you with me, you were really good (besides eating like a pig!).

Us sisters pitched in to get our mom her first Tiffany's piece. You can see from your grandma's face that 
she was so excited and happy. Just seeing that expression made it all worth it :-)

Isn't the necklace beautiful? It's the mini double heart tag pendant. She absolutely loved it!

Your outfit of the night. You looked like an angel from above today.

Polo girl

Your Vancouver grandma had asked me to take some pictures of you wearing this yellow and white Polo dress so that she can send the pictures to her friend that bought this dress for you. I wasn't sure if I would be able to capture any good shots because you are notorious for not staying still. I was pleasantly surprised when you actually posed for me. Mission accomplished!

So long Summer

I can't believe August is already over… And you start SK tomorrow! Where has the Summer gone?

I haven't taken photos of you too in so long so I busted out my camera and took some quick snapshots of you guys. Daddy wanted to get in on the action so he grabbed both of you and asked me to take one of you together. So cute, right?

I asked you to make your "Ee-pun-ee" face. It's translated from Korean as "pretty" face.
You are doing it right, but Kendall's is looking not so pretty… haha.

I die!

I took some portrait shots of you two. I can't believe how big you guys have grown. It boggles my mind…

Kendall is such a girly girl. I put her in an outfit I bought her a few weeks ago and she was walking around
like a little super model.

Trying to show me your coolest ninja moves. Lately you've been obsessed with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

"For the strong, silent type"

I have a weird obsession of loving watching kids eat french fries. I think it's the way their little hands hold the fries. Every time I watch you eating your fries when you are eating your Happy Meal, I pause and just stare. Am I a freak or what?

Maybe I started my obsession when I saw this 1987 McCain french fries commercial?

Today was Nate's birthday party. He turned 4 this year. We were invited for the celebration at 4pm so we decided to walk over. Too bad it poured as soon as we left the house and we got drenched!

Your cool rain gear outfit.

And guess who made a special appearance? Spiderman! 

Look how cute you guys are. I think you will be the best of friends when you are older.

Fashion show

After church this morning, you and I stopped by our local mall to exchange your broken recycling truck at Toys R Us. While we were at the mall, I decided to get Kendall velcro shoes for daycare as she has been needing one badly for a while. Of course, you wanted your own pair of shoes. I told you that you already had a brand new pair, that we had gotten for you last year to wear this Summer, in your closet, but you were so whiny that I told you I would buy you something else at the mall. Something you actually needed. We stopped by Old Navy and I bought you a t-shirt and sunglasses.

When we went home, I put Kendall in her new shoes to see if it fit her and it became a fashion show. You started pulling clothes from out of your dresser and closet and made me take pictures of you modelling it for me. What a guy!

Kendall's new Dora velcro shoes. It was a steal at $14.99 at Payless! It was on sale from $24.99.

You absolutely loved it. You were walking around the whole house showing it off.

Your new Angry Bird t-shirt and sunglasses. I'm glad I got you those sunglasses. The one I got you last
year was too big for your face. This one fits perfectly! And you're wearing your the shoes that I was talking
about earlier.

Kendall showing off her new kicks.

She's been so cute lately. I just want to bite her everywhere!

Posing for the cameras.

Kendall testing out her new shoes.

You made me put a tie and fedora hat on you to complete your outfit.

Trying to do the rock on hands.

This girl makes me melt with her cuteness.

Here's another one for the camera.

I don't know what you're doing with your eyes, but you look so wacky! Especially with your missing teeth.

Outfit change. Wearing your summer outfit ensemble.

Hello Noelle~

Meet your cousin, Noelle! She was born today. Isn't she so precious? Auntie Jess had such a hard time carrying her so it's a miracle that she was born healthy and almost full term. Praise God! I can't wait to meet her in person.

We had a mini fashion show today with Kendall. I love playing dress-up with her. Your Vancouver grandma brought clothes that her friend bought for Kendall so we wanted to take a few photos of Kendall wearing them. It's a little big for her, but doesn't she look so cute??

Your grandma has gone snap crazy ever since she got here. She's been taking hundreds of photos
of you and Kendall. 

School picture day

This is what you wore to you junior Kindergarten picture day. Loving your tie ;-)

Twins and yummy bread

Guess who were twins at church today? You and Asher! Asher's mom, YJ, bought that shirt for you a while ago, and today you and Asher happened to be wearing it at the same time. I think you found it really cool because you were literally attached at the hip to Asher. You were hugging, holding hands, following each other… it was quite funny.

Goofing off in the church gym.

Around dinner time, you and I went over to Asher's house because YJ was teaching mommy how to bake my own bread. She bought me a bread pan from Korea and I recently bought the same bread maker that she had.

The piece de resistance- my new bread maker.

YJ's infamous bread. I'm salivating looking at this.

Fresh out of the oven. Yum!

Double the sadness

Today your Vancouver grandparents left for Vancouver. It was a very sad and somber day. It was hard when it was just Aidan, but now with 2 grandkids it's making it very hard for them to leave. This morning they wanted to get you dressed up in your hanbok (Korean formal dress) to get some snapshots of you. Since they weren't able to get any good shots at your birthday party we decided to do a mini photo shoot. Don't you look like a Korean princess here? I can't believe we were able to get a good shot of you. 

I can't believe I was able to get a shot of you with your hanbok on! Usually it's a nightmare since
it can get pretty uncomfortable with all the different pieces.

1. Rosco enters the room
2. Going in for the kill
3. LICK!
4. Kendall: "Who licked me?!"

Your brother was amused at what was going on during the shoot.

Finally the shoot is over! You are free from your shackles!

At around 2:40pm we all got in the big car and headed to the airport. You (Kendall) were playing jam jam (clenching of the fist) with your Vancouver grandma and Aidan slept. When it was time for them to say goodbye , your Vancouver grandma had tears in her eyes and your Vancouver grandpa looked so small and sad. I felt so guilty! Auntie Jane told daddy that when she picked them up from the airport your Vancouver grandma was bawling the whole time :'-(

After we dropped them off at the airport we decided to go to Canada's Wonderland. Since daddy took a day off to take them to the airport we wanted to spend some time together as a family. Maybe the somber mood was affecting you guys because Aidan didn't want to go on any of rides.

I thought it was so cute how you were resting your head on Aidan's shoulder the whole time
you were in the double stroller. Look how unhappy Aidan looks.

My 2 cuties.
