Thanksgiving Weekend

Tryptophan is good.

Thanksgiving Weekend

Ok now how do I get to the sweet stuff. Zoe is perplexed by these oranges. Eventually Dad peeled them and they disappeared like everything else fruit related.

Happy Halloween from Wendy, Peter, Tiger Lily, and Tinkerbell

Treat or treat. There's no trick with these two, they're after the candy. Zoe (tinkerbell) Forester and Donavan (Peter-Pan) Devard.

Candy crash and burn. Zoe's first true run-in with sugar.

We're not quite sure if Zoe is more attracted to candy itself or the wrappers enveloping the candy. Seeing as how no one taught her how to open the candy wrapper she seems to think its all the same. But if you happen to see soggy paper fragments around the house Zoe may be nearby.

Buckle up Zoe and get ready for a sibling

Leah and I are excited to officially announce Baby # 2. We were pleased to discover two weeks ago Monday the 7th that Leah is expecting. We have always liked the boys name Ian Swenson Forester, and are still working on another girls name. We were thinking Chloe?, joke, but seriously any suggestions come welcomed.

What the future holds

In the Korean tradition 5 items are symbolic of the abundant life. The fruit symbolizes: Health, the pen and the book: Knowledge, the twine: Longevity of life, and finally money: symbolizes Wealth. Although Zoe's selection was: health, because we ran the risk of her grabbing everything on the table which would represent greed, she has been blessed with the opportunity of acquiring them all; for this knowledge we are both humble and grateful.

Zoe's 1st Birthday

Zoe's actual birth day was Saturday 7-11-2008, hence Tyler's Dad's nickname for Zoe, "Slurpee", but due to scheduling we celebrated Sunday. The party was great, everyone who showed can well attest. Equipped with water slides, Korean garb, and plenty of food we all enjoyed the occasion.

Zoe has turned 1, or 2 or something. Because of Leah and my heavy American cultural experience we are completely disconnected with our family's Korean heritage. So, in an attempt to revitalize or birth some kind of connection we will officially be celebrating Zoe's 1st or 2nd birthday Korean style, or at least something in like fashion. Get ready for a totally Korean Leah and Zoe as we photograph the day 7-12-2009. We hope our attempt to re-forge the severed link to Leah's mysterious past will bring us the blessings of our ancestors in the year to follow.

We are back

We are back ready to go full force with blogging again. We took a little vacation for several reasons, the main reason being that we have been busy having fun with Zoe. I will try to catch you up on all of Zoe's new discoveries and adventures in the past few months. An apology for those who faithfully viewed our blog and found themselves disappointed in our failure to write. Like we said we are ready to go full force once again.
