Three Little Pumpkins

It was a fairly busy weekend with friends and family which made Monday come a little more quickly than usual. One thing Kwang and I have in common is that we both have a horrible memory. Awful. Terrible. So when Kwang asked me to remind him first thing in the morning to defrost some meat to grill on Saturday, I wrote myself a sticky note because I knew I'd probably forget. So, yes, I made a reminder to remind myself to remind Kwang. Wandering around the house trying to find an effective place to stick the note, Kwang laughed at me for thinking so hard about it and said that simply putting it on the refrigerator was sufficient for even him to see. I thought it would be more effective upstairs on something like our bathroom mirror, but I did as he said. Well, the next morning I went downstairs to find all the boys lounging around and playing and found that the meat hadn't been taken out. So I asked Kwang about it and he realized he completely missed the bright orange sticky note which, it turns out, wasn't as effective on the refrigerator as he thought. But I most certainly did not tell him that I told him so, did I not tell him so? I think I told him so, wait, let me check, yes, right there, that's when I told him so, and maybe he shouldn't laugh at me next time. I didn't say any of that. I just smiled and felt justified for my neuroticism.

So anyway, Kwang grilled up some yummy food and it was a nice weekend overall. We had his family over for dinner on Sunday after our little Audrey was baptized. Being our most active baby at this age, the antithesis of Eli, my mother-in-law was afraid Audrey would squirm her way out of Pastor Owen's arms. But our little sweet pea was an angel:

The hairclip was my feeble attempt at making Audrey look more like a girl. I was able to clip it onto all five strands of her front hair. She was baptized on the same day as Charlotte, another little one at our church. As I look at this picture, I'm not sure why we thought it'd be nice to take a picture of Audrey with such a cute baby girl, because it only emphasizes the fact that Audrey does indeed look very much like a baby boy dressed in frilly pink. But I suppose it will make for a nice memory:

And this past Friday was Pumpkin Patch day at Jude & Eli's school. I took a little time off work to snap some pictures of the boys. At first, they didn't know I was there and I tried hiding behind my camera so they wouldn't come charging at me. But in this picture, I could tell Eli thought this might be me taking pictures but couldn't tell for sure because he couldn't see my face:

bo/bonnie's second son is already 1 month old and i'm just now confirming through YOUR blog that his name is joshua! OMG. i had gotten joshua's e-mail birth announcement which was immediately followed up with an e-mail that his name had been changed to samuel. and then i've been hearing people call him joshua. so i was confused and apparently never got the memo about his name being changed BACK to joshua. anyways... jude looks so much like kwang...!! just had to say that.

living with kwang in college, i can attest to his memory skills. oh it was bad at times, which often led to some funny stuff!

Ha ha ha! I think she's looks like a girl, I think you just think she looks like a boy because she looks like Eli...but that doesn't take away from her cuteness. Btw, my Mom was cracking up about Kwang's joking about Charlotte and Audrey's eyes ALL day, it was so funny, she just loved it. Glad my baby got to share her baptism day with Audrey...we should get a better picture of them together.
