28 weeks along with baby Smith and I'm trying to figure out where time went...Della is almost TWO, Owen started pre-k last week and will be FOUR in just a few weeks. How on earth am I in my THIRD trimester with my THIRD baby?! The days are kind of flying by and I'm trying to soak up each and every moment, but I can't help but feel a bit overwhelmed by it. I'm feeling pretty good but I don't feel like I have the "glow" you're supposed to get. My hair, skin and nails didn't get the memo, I ... View the Post
We’re coming to America
The sun is shining, the air is clear, the kids are playing nicely in the backyard, Pandora is echoing my favorite station in my empty house, and I have an iced coffee with me. I mean, it doesn't get much better, right? Before I start telling you about our new home (which I'm super excited about) I want to fill you in on what we've been up to in the past month. I have to tell you that the day we left our apartment for the last time wasn't really tough to do. I wasn't sad at all. It felt ... View the Post
Hey, it’s Emily.
Hi guys, remember me? It's Emily. I owe you an update. Or I need to shut the blog down or something, which I'm not going to do, so I'm brewing coffee and I'm going to do the update. I'll try to keep it brief but a lot has happened since my last post so you might want to grab a coffee, or a glass of wine. Whatever you fancy. Gosh darn you guys, I hate when I get so behind like this. I wish I was better about blogging frequently. I've been through all this before with you, it's nothing new for me ... View the Post
Hello Spring!
April has been such a crazy busy month for us. Alex had to go TDY for two weeks but he was only a 2 hour drive away so he was able to come spend the weekends with us. It was nice to have him around on the weekends so I didn't have to find a babysitter for the kids while I had photo sessions. April is a busy month for photographers, I've learned. I was really glad he got to come home for Easter! Before he came home, Owen and I dyed Easter eggs while Della napped. On a good day she'll sleep 2.5 ... View the Post
Firefighter Owen | {video}
I mentioned that we took Owen to my the fire station where my brother-in-law volunteers. I can't even begin to describe how big of a deal this was for Owen. I put together a video from the day Owen's dreams came true! As you'll see, there aren't many smiles because he took it all very seriously. He was all business, but you can see the joy in his eyes. He still talks about this day and has probably watched this video at least 10 times already today. I love my little firefighter! A HUGE thank ... View the Post
Emily’s Great Hiatus of 2017
Guys, remember that time I went to the states on a one-way ticket? We landed in Iowa to heaps of snow and freezing cold wind. Of which none of us were terribly amused by... But the air was fresh and clean and we were surrounded by grandmas and grandpas so no one really complained. Truth be told, the trip to the states was more for me than anyone. I realize how selfish that sounds but I needed a break from Korea. It's not that it's a bad place, but I had cabin fever something fierce and I was ... View the Post
