Haven't written much lately, and I really don't have much to write about now! However, we have lots of pictures that deserve a little spotlight!
On Wednesday, Drew's squadron took a trip to the Korean War Memorial Museum in Seoul, and I was fortunate enough to be able to tag along. Unfortunately, we weren't able to stay long and tour the whole place, but we will keep it on our list of places to go and eventually get through the whole thing. We saw a lot of neat stuff while we were there!

"The Statue of Brothers is an 18 meter wide and 11-meter high symbol of the Korean War. It consists of the upper part, lower part and inner part. The upper part of the statue depicts a scene where a family's older brother, an ROK officer, and his younger brother, a North Korean soldier, meet in a battlefield and express reconciliation, love, and forgiveness. The lower tomb-shaped dome was built with pieces of granite collected from nationwide locations symbolizing the sacrifices made by our patriots. The crack in the dome stands for the division of Korea and the hope for reunification. Objects inside the dome include a mosaic wall painting that expresses the spirit of the Korean people to overcome the national tragedy and a map plate of the 16 UN Allied Nations that dispatched troops to the war. The links of iron chain on the ceiling signify the unbreakable bonds of a unified Korea."
Drew had a LOT of fun playing in the tanks and guns and whatever they were ;)
In addition to going to the museum, I also started teaching this past week! Lots of easy review, but we are knocking that out of the way so we can start learning some fun stuff! This week we are learning about volcanoes, at the request of 6 year old Lucia!
It was also Rooney's birthday last Sunday! He's a big, bad, two year old now!
Now, some random pictures that don't have to do with anything really. ENJOY!
And, it wouldn't be right if I ended a post without a cute picture of Rooney!
