Another Long Weekend

Clint works rediculous hours these days. I'm sure most soldiers do, especially in Korea. But I cannot complain because he's gotten 2 long weekends in a row and I absolutely love having him around. On Friday we helped some friends move and then ran some errands. We stopped for a snack and Clint snapped another funny face photo of Morgan trying a carbonated drink for the first time.

These trees line one of the streets on post at Yongsan. They are the most beautiful trees I've ever seen, unfortunately they only stay in bloom for a couple of weeks and then they are back to dead bare trees.

Today (Saturday) we went to breakfast with some friends from Clint's company. We ate at a place called Butterfinger Pancakes and the food was SO GOOD!!! It was totally worth the subway trip!

"I wonder what I can grab off this table and throw on the floor..."

We had spaghetti for dinner tonight and usually I feed Morgan her spaghetti rather than allowing her to make a huge mess. But tonight I thought I'd let her do it on her own. I just had to get a picture of the aftermath. You can see it better if you click to enlarge the photo.

Too Cute

Morgan has been doing the funniest new thing. Actually, its not that funny, but its cute. When she's doing something she's not supposed to I'll tell her "no,no". She'll look and me and nod her head and say "ya, ya". I try so hard not to laugh, but its just too cute! Its like she's asking permission or maybe saying "I'm gonna do it anyway mom, cause I'm cute....see!"

A lot of people have been telling me lately that Morgan looks a lot like me. So I thought I'd compare 1 year pictures. I wish I had one of her that was more similar to my pose. This picture of me is 1 of only 2 pictures I have of me at that age. What do you think?

Don't you just love a sleeping baby? My mom says I used to sleep with my hands under me just like this.

Morgan finally figured out how to push around the shopping cart we got her for her birthday in December. She was cruisin all over the house with it today.

WOAH!

That was a sour lime!

Alpha Company Redeploy BBQ

Thursday, April 2nd, all the wives in Clint's company threw a BBQ for the soldiers who had been out in the field for the last week or so. The first video is of the pilots flying in. I must say that my husband has the sweetest job ever! Okay, so he's not flying in any of these choppers, cause he didn't get to go to the field with them, but still, its pretty sweet! I love seeing and hearing helicopters.

And the oh-so-long awaited for video of Morgan taking her first steps on her own. I was cleaning up one of the tables and I heard Eddie (our good friend) say, "oh man, she's walking!" And sure enough, when I turned around she had taken about 5 steps on her own. I'm so proud. I felt like an idiot though cause I was screaming and clapping like a little girl.

Morgan took her first steps on her own yesterday (April 2nd). Video and details to follow.
