2010 Year in Review

I know I am a bit of a Grinch, but I really hate Christmas letters.

Especially ones that are 3 pages long and just go on and on and on about

how some families cure diseases, win peace prizes, write novels, and how

their children never, never, never do anything wrong.

I was a little on the dumb side this year and put my

 blog address on our Christmas cards.

After I did that I realized that people will probably be expecting to

see some kind of family update if they do come here.

So I have decided to just write 3 things for each member of the family.

Don't get your hopes up too high - we didn't even cure a disease!

William - or Liam as I like to call him...

1. He has learned to crawl, climb, walk, run, kick, punch, roll, jump,

and do backflips this year! Well not really the last one, but you get the idea.

2. He will be officially done teething by the time 2011 rolls around!

 YAY for Mom! I guess it's good for him as well.

3. Finally starting to speak. He likes to say: binkie, blankie, kitty, doggy,

cookie, thanks, aupa (korean for dad), grrrrrr, grandpa,

and finally at long last, mama!

Isabelle

1. Still doing Taekwondo, and she also started piano and gymnastics.

 She is loving it all. The day she can actually perform a

real cartwheel we are going to have a party!

2. She has been doing great with her school, especially her reading.

We are so proud of her progress.

3. She makes us laugh at least once everyday. Thanks sweetie!

Me

1. I have had multiple personalities this year.

Angry mom, happy mom, crazy lady, nice lady, hollering maniac, peacemaker.

There may be more, but its hard to keep track of all the voices in my head.

2. I have had multiple jobs this year.

Taxi driver, chef (ha ha ha), house keeper, teacher, counselor, primary teacher,

translator, secretary, baby sitter, state delegate, moving man, dishwasher,

 clothes washer, psychic, nurse, thats pretty much it.

3. hmmm, 3 is alot. Sometimes less is more, right?

Soungsik

1. He did a little fishing this year, but he has started to go shooting much more.

He even built his own gun. I hope that doesn't backfire on him (he he he)!

2. The awesome parent of the year award in our family undoubtedly goes to him.

He is way more patient and fun than me,

my kids are so lucky! I am pretty lucky too!

3. We opened our 2nd taekwondo center this year.

 He also helped his brother get his school opened.

He has been incredibly busy with that!

We are just grateful that we survived the year with

no health problems or broken bones.

We are grateful for family that's always there:), and for good friends.

We are grateful our house is still standing,

even if there is a spider in the bathroom...I gotta go!
