Artwork and baby stuff

It has been cold.  Frigid.  Freezing.  The snow that fell during Christmas is still covering the garden plots that line our walk to the doctor's.

But, O's artwork has injected some color into our snowy days...

as well as did some ridiculously cute baby gifts at a baby shower my friends held for me.  I didn't get any pics at the actual shower, but I couldn't help but take some photos when I got home. 

Thanks everyone!  It was such a nice afternoon and a perfect way to escape from the snow and cold outside.  More pics later!

PS Can you believe only four more weeks???

 

Busan in December

While S. was on winter break, we decided to check out Busan.  It is a very large city to the south, famous for it's beaches, bridges and traditional markets.  With an almost 4 year old and an 8 month pregnant mommy, we decided to stay in only one area of the city for a quick trip.  We chose Haeundae since it had both beaches and the aquarium.  While temperatures back in Cheonan were frigid, we got to enjoy some time on the beach building sand castles, digging for pirate treasure, and looking for shells.  After lunch and a nap at a nearby coffee shop, we went to the aquarium.  Then, a very tired crew headed back home on the KTX bullet train.  What a nice break from the snow and ice!

Good thing O. thought to pack some sunglasses!
