Jude-of-all-trades

So my husband gave me a little grief about my last post. Remember how I said he was a little rough around the edges? I don't think Mr. Darcy would give Miss Bennet such a hard time.  That's okay, Kwang brought home some chocolate cake for me yesterday from the only PORTILLO'S in the LA area. A taste of Chicago. He knows the way to my heart is through a chocolatey dessert. Here is another taste of Chicago: Emma & Jude. Emma's family moved out here from Chicago shortly after we did. Unlike us, however, they have decided to head back. The thought did cross my mind to hide in their luggage.

Well, it seems I've become rather loquacious on xanga even though I have nothing monumentally important to write about. I'm quite talented like that. I've considered putting the lockdown on my site, but part of me wonders why because strangers would probably take one read and promptly close their browsers to shield their eyes from all the nonsensical posts and run-on sentences found on lisaekim. Then again, the pics and clips of the kiddos ARE scrumptious. Hmmm..

 

On Saturday mornings, the Kim family likes to enjoy a nice breakfast together if there are no prior commitments. There's something very wonderful about spending time as a family on a peaceful Saturday AM. I'm tempted to say that this something wonderful may just be the Original Grand Slam at Denny's, but I really think it's being able to enjoy each other's company without feeling rushed. Unfortunately for the rest of the family, Kwang played golf with some friends yesterday morning. So how did the peanut gallery pass the time? Well, Jude has declared a short hiatus for our musical band, so we've since moved on to become celebrity dancers with Eli being our lucky audience of one. That's right.... Stop. It's Hammer Time. I didn't watch the "Dancing With The Stars" series, but I did catch part of the semi-final episode which immediately made me an Emmitt Smith fan and DVR the final episode. What a cutie patootie that Emmitt is on the dance floor. But even cuter is my little Renaissance man, Jude. Baller, musician, and now... ballroom dancer. As I mentioned, Eli is the only audience because it's just not sufficient that I sit and watch Jude. He makes me dance WITH him. It's all about everyone doing everything "together", and I'm not about to be the one to teach him what a spoil sport is. So I'm afraid I don't have a photo of the two of us dancing freestyle. Shame. Sometimes I wonder why I post our family's goings-on because let's face it, we're just plain crazy.

btw, just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE emmitt!  his killer smile!  glad he won!  even though i do think technically mario was probably the better dancer, emmitt was the entertainer!  plus, he is the one who came w/o any previous dance experience and became amazing!  so smooth and so cool!
