Welcome To Our World

best of summer 2009

blogging is like a habit.  the more you do it, the more you want to do it.  the less you do it, the less you want do it - j.h. kim

it's been a WHILE since we blogged, hasn't it?  that was our longest dry spell since we started this blog 4 years ago!  at this point, how do we catch up?  what do we include?  what do we keep out?  there's no way we're going to talk about everything we did this summer so we decided to stick the "best ofs" in a photo album for you to browse through to give you glimpse of what we've been up to...

my new do

mommy has been trying to grow my bangs out for what seems like forever now.  it's been a long and difficult process.  always pinning my ever growing bangs to the side so that they don't get in my eyes.  sigh.  it's been a trying time.  most of the time, the pins don't work and i've been used to looking through the hair that falls in front of my face.  it's been frustrating and and a bit annoying, especially when the hair poked my eyes.

but today, josh, my wonderful oh-pah, my knight in shining armor, saved me from my misery and gave me a haircut.  at first, mommy & daddy didn't seem to notice and we just went about doing our own thing..

but then, mommy thought something didn't seem right.  and then she found a pile of hair in the bathroom.. and boy was she shocked.

and even a bit mad.

but really, it's not that bad is it?

i admit, maybe we shouldn't have gone for the chunky layered look on the sides..

but all in all, i love it!  hair is no longer getting in my eyes.. and really, i'm sure mommy will laugh about it someday..

and guess what?  tomorrow i get to go to the hair salon and get my first real haircut!  wahoo!

langer's & the natural history museum

we tried out a sandwich shop called langer's deli.  it's totally out of place in it's downtown los angeles locale but apparently it's been there for over 60 years and it's OH SOOOOO GOOOD!  we would totally recommend it.  it's totally compareable and dare-we-say maybe even better than the famous carnegie deli in new york.  YUM!

afterwards, we headed over to the la brea tar pits.  love this place!  ask us about tar.. we're experts.  you know, even now, they're discovering lots of new fossils.  so cool. :)

practicing.. pre-yosemite

before going to yosemite, we wanted to make sure we knew the right way to roast hot dogs and s'more when we went camping so felt the need for a practice run at the beach. :)

we practiced roasting,

eating,

and even making a mess.

it wasn't until we felt we had mastered the art of the s'more that we actually ventured into the real thing..

running amuck at julie's wedding

it's been a long time since we've seen so many of our loving aunties & uncles from rosemead church.  when daddy was pastoring there, they were so wonderful to us.  to us they ARE family.  so when we saw so many of them at julie's wedding, we couldn't have been happier.  we've missed them all so much but when we saw them, it was like time had never passed.  LOVE ALL OF YOU!!

we haven't blogged in a long time..

lots planned for the summer..

lots of posts to come so we can get caught up.

yosemite!

we spent the weekend with the ims for our annual trip to yosemite and had SUCH A BLAST!  we love going camping!

of course, it's even more fun to go with our favorite 2 year old. :)

amazingly, this year, we were very generous when it came to group pictures.

so glad we're planning on making it a yearly tradition!  can't wait to hone our photography skills :)
