Korea came to visit & Kate's 2nd Birthday

So excited to have Mark & Yonjung and Paula & Aaron around for a few days. They came to stay with us for a couple of days so we checked out the beach again! They used to live nearby and come to the same mtg. as us... we were all so happy to see them after one year away.

Kate's Happy Day

Friday was Kate's birthday and she turned 2! We had a little help celebrating with some friends. She now sticks her 2 'peter pointers' up on each hand when I ask her how old she is. And how come the terrible two's start the day after they turn 2? She had a 'miserable' day on Saturday... or should I say I did! I remember the same thing happening with one of the other kids, the day they turned two... watch out! However, she did have a fun day at the beach and at her little party.

the 'Korean' cake I made... ok, so it took awhile for everyone to figure out that was the Korean flag on top... I tried!

During supper a thunderstorm came through, which was exciting for us because we've been watering our newly seeded lawn all week! It wasn't so exciting for Kevin & Brad, who rode their bikes over that day. But after a 'long' evening, the storm passed and the kids dragged their parents home... it was a good day! :)
