Well it has been a long time....Christian, Connor and I have had a crazy few months. Connor turned 1! Christian and I finished school and we moved to Korea! Christian has been stationed here for the last 6 months. He came home a a few weeks of leave and then we went back to South Korea to join him. So between a very active toddler, school, and moving to the other side of the word I have had little time to keep up with the blog. But now that I am settled I figured what better way to keep all of our family and friends in the states updated on our new adventure in Korea.

We have been here a little less than a month. We are settled in, just waiting on all of our stuff to arrive. We have loaner furniture as well as the bare essentials that I sent with Christian. We live in a SMALL high rise apartment, but we are all nice and cozy! Connor seems to be adjusting well. He did great on the flight. He slept most of the way and really was no problem at all. It took him a few days to get adjusted to the time difference. He is completely off bottles and eats like a big boy. Which means at least 60% of it ends up on the floor ( WE MISS YOU GOGGI). He just plays and talks (really loud) all day long. He never stops unless he is sleeping. His two bottom teeth are in as well 2 of his top teeth. We are working on his walking. He cruises on furniture and his walker but he just doesn't have the confidence to let go yet. Otherwise he is doing great.  Connor and his daddy are best buds. They both love to play with Lego's! They will spend hours in his room building and destroying tall towers, over all just making a mess.

Korea...well it is Korea, it is a neat modern country that still has a old world feel about it. We are located in Seoul so big city living would be the biggest adjustment of all. We use public transportation all the time (the subway system is awesome) or we just walk! Connor gets so much attention from the Koreans.  They just love him. We have been out exploring as much as we can since we have been here. The shopping in this country is insane. There are outdoor markets and vendors that sell everything you can image. We also went to the largest fabric market in all of Asia. I was so overwhelmed all I could mange to buy was a few yards of ribbon. It is neat to take Connor to all the different places you can almost see him just soaking it up.
