The little one dreamed that Daddy came home yesterday and woke up so excited.  He was disappointed when a search of the closets did not yield his father.  The big one still struggles at random moments with Daddy's absence.  And yet, we are all trying to do our best so that we are ready when he comes back.  The little one is writing and has finally consented to speak Korean sometimes.  The big one is working on his reading all the time.  He wants Daddy to be so proud of him.  They have karate tomorrow and played a lot of basketball yesterday.  We have a package almost ready to send--mostly candy for cousins, but some other stuff too! ^.~

We miss you!

The boys played really hard today.  They ran from the instant they got home until it got too dark to see.  By the time we called Daddy, they hardly had their eyes open, although they did try to sound perky for him and BJ even tried to dribble.  He's slowly getting better at it, even though he still dribbles all hunched over and about a foot (25 cm) from the ground!  And he's really self-conscious about it too and won't let me take his picture doing it.

Here are some pictures today with the Halloween candy, though!

Okay, Blogger won't let me add photos today, so I will post them to Facebook.

Daddy made the boys' day today when he called.  They didn't talk long, but they were SOOO glad to see him, especially after BJ told his friends he wanted Daddy home NOW.  And they went to sleep perfectly after he hung up--they always sleep well after they hear his voice.

They also joined karate today.  I had looked into a whole mess of things--basketball, hip hop classes, and karate.  But they LOVED karate, and they get more 1-on-1 attention there. 

Here they are in their uniforms:

We love you, Daddy!

얘들 잘 잔다. 어제에 많이 놀았어요.  오늘도 많이 빠밨어요.  빨리 잤어요.  빵 손에 있는 범찬이 자로 갔어요.

진희가 사진 칙기 싫어!

사랑해요!

It's a good thing that people gave us popcorn and pretzels and fruit snacks because AJ didn't want to eat anything that wasn't in the candy bowl this moring.  He spent the whole afternoon wearing old costumes and calling this "The Second Day of Halloween," like "The Twelve Days of Christmas."

BJ, on the other hand, has taken to insulting the kids at school in Korean because he can't get in trouble for that.

Both boys had played so hard yesterday and ran so much today that they were asleep right at 8:00.  In fact, BJ was asleep before I hung up the phone with Daddy.  I think he just needs to hear Daddy's voice at night.  He sometimes doesn't know what he wants to say (and I try to say more here), but he and AJ just love Daddy's voice. 

We love you and hope all is well!
