I have been on a blog boycott because I hate the look of my blog but I have no knowledge of how to make it me. The other truth is that we really have not been up to much. We have had a second round of barfing at the whittakers and so I thought i would save you all from those pictures. We were back to normal yesterday and went to the park. I love having a "private park" behind our house its wonderful. 
We couldn't have time at the park with out tears.
So this was the first year I felt like a parent. I loved this morning.
We told our families that we were going to have "our family" time in
the morning and it was beautiful. We did not get in from X-mas eve
festivities until 1 am so we slept in. Sohaila woke up at 10am and went
down stairs, she came back up and it was so perfect, so sweet and
innocent. She rushed into our room and said "mommy, mommy come quick,
Santa came and brought us a drawing board and a baby toy hurry come
quick" Oh it was so amazing to see her sweet innocent imagination at
her prime. She woke up her sister and we all rushed down. was
upset that Santa did not drink all of his milk. It was such a wonderful
morning here are some picts. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. H
Welcome to America, A beef stick. Yum
You know a gift is good when it makes you cry. Thanks babe!
We Finally met all of Losiah's Grandma's my mom being the last. 
Ok really how cute are they. 
Today we went out to my Nannans this is the first time ALL the cousins have been together in one picture with my cute grandma.
So I am really late at posting this picture. We actually took back on the 29th of November two days after we got home. I had to go to the mall to buy Losiah some clothes that actually fit him and we decided to welcome him to America with a picture on Santa's lap. I hate to see what Santa looks like in the pictures he is taking now. This was the beginning of the season and he looks pissed. It actually looks like a mug shot of Santa. Oh and by the way we have seen "Santa" two other times and has blossomed into a beautiful child that gives him her list of wants, here I was holding her hand and bribing her with Chik-fil-A. Memories...
Now that we have three kids we have three car seats packed in the back of our Camry. Poor was next to Losiah when it happened. She fell asleep and he had a party. He pulled out her hair! It was so sad!
Thursday night Disneyland.
Losiah has no idea where he is. 
The girls were so excited to ride by themselves!
Friday the girls got spoiled they got Grande HOT chocolates from Grandma.
We went down to Mission Inn on Friday to check out the lights.
We saw Santa (who by the way was the best santa, He totally acted the part and was so sweet!)
Really how cute are we!
Then Saturday morning we had Christmas with Grandma Sherry. 
Later in the day we went to Pasadena to visit Nani. 
And meet Uncle Kiki and Uncle David at their house.
We had a full weekend, we are still sick but pushing through. Hope you had a great weekend. H
You know its good TV when you are left speechless. We just got done watching the finale of The Biggest Loser and OH MY GOSH! Thats all I can say. OH MY GOSH! 
Well maybe I can say one more thing, Bob is HOT! Tats and all!
*Korean women walk arm and arm or holding hands. They are very physical touch.
* Seoul has to be the most fashionable place I have ever been. Not New York, Beverly Hills, or London... nope hands down the women in Seoul know how to work it.
*In Seoul all the girls wear skirts with boots! or they wear knee high stockings with high heals. I love it. It's a city for me and any single guys out there.
*In Seoul everyone is in a rush. You will always see people running. Carlos and I call them RRRunners.
When we see someone we say RRRunner, RRRunner!
*Of coarse everyone knows America is the most obese country. And in Seoul we could count on our hands how many fat (and i mean chunky, no one is obese) people we have seen. We have observed a few things why Koreans are not fat.
Koreans are not fat because...
...they walk everywhere and to get to the subway or across the street you have to climb up and down at least 100 stairs. Thats just to cross the street. So on an average day I'd say we have climbed 500-1000 stairs each day. 1/2 of America couldn't do that.
...Their sizes are small, yet satisfying. A large pizza is our medium, at Starbucks their tall is a medium, at the movies the straws are like the straws you stir coffee with, very small so it takes a long time to drink it.
(Personally I think they are thin because of what they eat. I have missed many meals here because after I ate Korean food my tummy was just not right.)
*In Seoul there are no kids anywhere, it is very rare to be out in the city and see a child. 
* In Seoul we see people wearing dentist like face masks. We are not sure why they are wearing them. Our conclusion is that they are sick and do not want to spread their germs.
* Pickles and Pizza of coarse!
* Korea is wonderful for me. When i sit in a chair my feet touch the ground. At the movies my feet touch the ground, in toilet my feet touch the ground. It defiantly is a society catering to short people!
*Um, Well right before we saw him we made mention that we never once felt scared or intimidated by anyone in Korea. Well then we saw him. Um if he was on a NY subway he would be arrested.
Palm Springs, The Hales, The Whittakers, Lots of kids! 
Carlos was wondering how he got stuck doing pancakes when it was not a school day. 
Ok for real it looks like they were making out. They look like teenagers. 
Umm, should I tell him his fingers are in his mouth? 
Swimming in December!
was to afraid to do this slide in July, she loved it now! More daddy, more!
Our goal for the weekend was to try to capture a picture of all of our family that we could put in a frame. Well it did not happen. We did get some cute picks of the grown ups though. 
Ok so I am really excited about this picture because well we both look cute and top it off I was having a terrible bad hair day.
Yesterday Sohaila got her cast off. She is pumped. I am scared to death. She is a little dare devil, always jumping off of things. I fear it will snap. These X-rays they took yesterday dont make me feel any better. They still look broken to my non-doctor eyes. I hope they are right. H
After 9 days it finally happened! I was able to say he is adopted. It actually happened twice today. I was at Walmart and the lady infront of me asked what nationality my husband was. I said Mexican. Carlos thought I should have just stopped there and left her hanging. But I continued to tell her our story. Then later at Kaiser I got my first " Are they all yours" I think i am going to begin the count, how many times will I be asked that specific question? "Are they all yours"
We had a first today... Swimming! December 4th we went swimming! 
Carlos' parents were out in Palm Springs and we took advantage of the pool! I am assuming it was Losiah's first time swimming! 
He seemed to love it!
I was being a "Good Mom" as Tammy would say. She gets her cast off on Thursday and well I could not say no. Yes it was wet! But hey she had fun!
Duct Tape. It worked but the bag did not.
This is Sohaila with Losiah ALL the time. She is soooo awesome.
