Spring

Korea has got to have one of the most beautiful Springs around.  It doesn't last long, mind you, but when it arrives it is a beautiful thing to behold!  In case you missed it, or it has been a while, check out this post ("Springtime in Songtan") It is hard to believe I wrote that TWO years ago already....

 

 

We have been spending as much time outside as we possibly can, enjoying the crisp and sun-shiney, flower filled days.

 

 

And doing the laundry while we're at it!

"Daffodowndilly"

"She wore her yellow sun-bonnet,

She wore her greenest gown,
She turned to the south wind

And curtsied up and down.

She turned to the sunlight

And shook her yellow head,

And whispered to her neighbor;

'Winter is dead.'"

 

Poem by: A.A. Milne

 

We are currently reading through "The Complete Poems of Pooh" (a gift from Auntie Renee!) - or as Caleb calls it "not poetry but Pooh-etry".  It is one of our shared favorite times of the day.  We recently enjoyed this timely poem and craft, as the weather here in South Korea is shifting from winter to spring and the market is full of daffodils and other beautiful flowers and plants and the trees look about to burst forth in cherry blossoms any day....

Baby Chicks!!

An Afternoon "Photoshoot"

We tried to be cool and take some cute "professional" looking pictures....I'll just come right out and say we weren't very successful in the "professional picture" department {fail}. But we did get some cute pictures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Easter!

We hope you had a blessed Easter, wherever you celebrated this year.  We enjoyed a week preparing for this special holiday and reading the story over to Caleb in various translations and Bibles and then we woke up at 5am on Easter Sunday to begin the celebrating and worship of our Risen Savior with dear friends and our SCBC Family! He is Risen!

Okay, so we may have had 2 hours to kill between the sunrise service and the regular service...sorry for the picture overload (at least I didn't share ALL of them!).

After Church we all went home and took a good nap....

 

Then off to a special Easter Baptism!
