Last Week: Lunches, Sprayground, and More!

I would share with you what we've been up to this week, but I figured I should write about last week first. Last week I was spoiled rotten because Tanna was off all week. (He had to work the first full week--including the weekend, yuck--after Isaac came home.) But last week he was off. For nine days in a row. Yipppeeeeee!

We got a lot done in those nine days. Here are just a few things that happened:

• Isaac had a little cold or something early on in the week, so I took him to the pediatrician's office. We had to go there anyway before going to the lab, as he needed to be bagged to obtain a urine sample. (I will do another post on the labs.) Anyway, after a long day, I ended up at Wal-Mart to get his prescription filled. Didn't remember until I got there that it was the first day of school around here. First day of school + Wal-Mart = Lots of fun.
• We got my emissions checked (thanks, DH!), and I got my tags renewed. Had to go in person due to our address change, etc. BTW, I think it is ridiculous the way Georgia has your tags expiring on your birthday. Oh, and don't get me started on the taxes you have to pay every year on your car. Happy birthday from the State of Georgia--now give us some money! (In Tennessee, there is no car tax--except for the one you pay when you buy your car. I can't remember how it was when I lived in North Carolina.) But on the bright side, my taxes went down a bit due to our move in counties. Oh, and my experience at the tag office was good. So that was nice.
• We started getting Isaac's birthday party plans together. Yay!
• We enjoyed a couple of lunches out as a family--and a visit to the sprayground.
  
• I was able to run a bunch of errands that would be a lot more challenging (and take a lot more time) to do when Tanna is working all day and I have to take the kids with me.
• We had our first post-placement visit.
  
• I know there is more, but on to the pictures already!

Lunch with Halmoni and Halabaji


Isaac with Halabaji


Halmoni has made Isaac chook a few times, and he LOVES it. It's basically chicken, rice and various vegetables cooked for a long time.

... and the next day from a sippy cup. This is when we met with the balloon lady, who is a very nice and talented lady who goes to Tanna's parents' church. She does all the setup (balloons, head table, decorations, etc.) for a traditional Korean first birthday. Tanna's mom was telling me that she went to Korea specifically to receive her training. (She is from Korea, but that is where she was trained to prepare for a dol.) If you are in the Atlanta area and interested in her services, let me know and I will get her information to you.


Kate got this princess balloon--she was tickled pink! (Thank you!)


We went to the sprayground in Roswell--so fun! Right, Isaac?


On the go!


Holding on for dear life!


At least one of them is looking ...


Hey, I think he might be starting to like it! (Isaac is not too fond of bathtime and water in general, apparently. But he is starting to come around.)


Look at those cuties. I just love them so much!


Friday was fried-chicken day at Matthews Cafeteria, so we made a last-minute visit for lunch.


Kate enjoyed her chicken leg.


On Saturday, Burt and Jennifer came over to visit. It was so great to see them! Thanks for stopping by! XOXO
