Carving our Pumpkins
One of our favorite fall traditions is to carve our pumpkins. And we always cook the seeds afterwards. Grant's job is washing the seeds.
Nia was too tired to stay up so she went to bed. So daddy carved hers.

Pictures!
We had a great time at the Korean reception in Bensenville! It was so good to see dear friends and meet new ones! And it was wonderful to see Ms. Lee who was Nia's social worker in Korea. The picture below is me and Nia with Katie and cutie patootie Paul. We were together in Korea when we picked up our kiddos. We love to get to catch up!
It's Been A While!
Trick or Treating Fun!!!!
Well, how do I catch up? Let's see, August, September, October and now it's November! It is crazy how fast time flies! We have been busy but everyone is doing great! Halloween was alot of fun with our super cute kiddos. Nia was really into going up to the door and sticking out her bucket for candy. Grant loved being Mr. Incredible and Alex, while he liked dressing up was unsure about the trick or treating. He was very happy to down the chocolate though. Me too!!

A Great Weekend With Great Friends
What a fun weekend with our dear friends the Marchik's and Craney's! We traveled to Korea together in March to bring home our sweet babies! What a bond we have! Mark and I know how blessed we were to be able to meet such awesome people! And what a great time we had hanging out, catching up and watching our very cute kiddos play!
Nia loving the sprinkler!
Katie broke out the watermelon and the kids went crazy! They were eating it up!! Paul was chilling out in the swing and enjoying his snack.
Hey Joseph, you gonna share any of that?
Joseph loved the water! He went right into the pool and the sprinkler! No fear!
Joseph and Grant in the sprinkler. Check out Grant's goggles, an essential when running through the water.
My cute little Alex. He like his goggles too!
Our Saturday night dinner. Craney's couldn't join us until Sunday so it was just the Lipic and Marchik crew.

On Saturday we went to the zoo and then let the kids play in the water park. This was the best picture I could get of Nia and Paul together. They move fast!!

A Busy Summer!
I can't believe that August is here! The summer is flying by!! Even though we have been busy it has been good. Nia is officially walking! She took off on July 13th and has been running ever since.
Grant did 4 weeks of T-ball and 4 weeks of soccer which he really enjoyed. It was alot of fun to watch him learn and play with the teachers and other kids! Alex didn't mind going either since there was a playground close by.
This summer we took several trips to the zoo, many friends, new and old have come to visit, we went to an airshow, Grant turned 4 in June, we've had dentist and doctor check ups,
and now we are gearing up for school to start. Grant actually won't start until September but he'll get to visit his classroom and meet his teacher in a few weeks.
The three kiddos seem to be getting along pretty well. Occasionally, I do have to tell them to stop rolling Nia across the floor (they think that is really funny) but for the most part they are doing great. Thank goodness! I have to say that the first couple months were WAY harder than I had anticiapted. I knew there would be adjustments but I don't think I was fully prepared. Hence, the numerous pounds of chocolate and junk I ate, hence the extra 10 pounds I am trying to lose. But, my babies are worth it!! I am so blessed with truly amazing kids and an awesome hubby! I have nothing to complain about!

We're Still Around!
Well, it has been a very long time! I finally surrendered to my old, beat up dinosaur of a computer. But alas, I have a brand spankin' new computer! Yeah! It has all the keys which really makes for more efficient typing and the space bar works, I am a lucky girl! I can honestly say that I truly appreciate this computer. So, now that I have access to a good PC I should be posting all the time right? We'll see. Hopefully I can get some pictures posted soon.
Summer has been crazy busy but good. Nia is walking! She started in June. She is really trying to keep up with her brothers. Grant started T-ball and soccer and loves it. Alex is still my little mischievious buddy. We have had a fun summer of getting together with friends, swimming (when it is warm enough) and going to the park .
I'll try to check in a little more frequently now but no promises!
