An attempt at bilingualism

Min is obsessed with the Korean online dictionary. Here is a link http://www.indiana.edu/~koreanrs/kordic.html. Our agency sent it to us. We can't walk past the computer without, 'kwaja, kwaja...' which, I've been taught, is how you say 'cookie.' And then, when we sit down to listen, we hear 'more, more.' We had to put on a couple videos of Min repeating the words. Enjoy!!

We still have sick family members. Min has an ear infection..though he's much better now. Charles is going back to the doctor today for an eye issue. He had pinkeye a couple week ago, was treated, and has had clear eyes for about 10 days. Yesterday, i picked him up at preschool and it looked like he had been punched in the eye. Doesn't look like pinkeye, but maybe allergies? Anyway, so goes the illness saga at the Paul house.

The next couple weeks look to be busy. Easter this weekend, we're planning a trip to ND to see our families for spring break (if all kids are well), and then Henry has a tournament on the 12th. By then, I am convinced, it will truly be spring. The very best thing we did this past week is set up the trampoline. I do love the trampoline!!! I know that there is a lot of concern about safety, but we insisted on the safety enclosure and it is truly a great family activity. We have had more fun and laughs on that thing... it was definitely worth the price.

Sorry!!!.... can't think of a title

Had to post another video. It seems as if we've been doing a few lately which is good. Poor Min has hardly any home videos compared to the other two. Of course, he has WAY more pictures taken of him. Partly because I found that I like taking pictures. Anyway, I had to put this one on because it shows him so well. He is like this most of the time...at least at home. He's a little more subdued when we're in public. However, he's getting pretty comfortable at tae kwon do and enjoys running up and down the hallway and rolling around on the couch.

We've had a quiet weekend so far. We've been hanging drywall in our basement. Travis is doing most of it, but he does need an extra pair of hands for the ceiling. It always seems that when we start a project like this the rest of the household jobs get pushed aside. Scary, since I have trouble keeping up as it is.

Henry had another tae kwon do test last Saturday and passed. This means that he got a blue stripe on his green belt.

I am most excited about the forecasted weather change. They say that by Wednesday it will be 42 degrees!!! I am so tired of winter that... I don't know....I may get crazy and open the windows...hang the laundry on the clothesline.... I have been hearing some spring birds singing in the mornings lately. Even though I will be cursing them in a couple months when they start singing at 5 a.m., right now they sound really great.

I can run!!

Min running is a scary thought. He's already into everything and moves pretty fast, but I guess everyone needs to learn to run sometime. He's been working very hard on it and is getting pretty good. He practices by running laps from the kitchen through the living room and entry and back to the kitchen. He's also learning so many more words. We have an interactive Korean dictionary on our computer (thanks to our agency). When you click on the picture, the Korean word is said by a native Korean speaker. Min LOVES it!! He's always saying 'more, more.' THen repeats the Korean word when its said. Scary!!! This definitely does not come from us. Anyway, all else is well here except that we've all been sick. Henry missed 3 days of school last week. Travis has been sick with sinus things. Charles has pink-eye. Min has a cold. And, I also have a cold along with laryngitis. I can't wait for spring!!!!
