Grandma and Grandpa's Cabin

The three of us took a trip up to my parent's recently remodeled cabin.  Jae loved it!  Lots of wagon rides, swimming, hammock swings, and campfires complete with smores.  Many more trips to come.

Summer Olympics

Go Team USA!  But much like the winter Olympics in Vancouver, Paul and I hope another country does well...South Korea.  We are proud of our strong connection to the country and enjoy cheering for their athletes.  We watched their men's first soccer match earlier this week and just now enjoyed watching them enter Olympic stadium.  We have Korean writing on our wall, Korean cookbooks, Korean art, a Korean flag and our wonderful Korean son.  We are proud to have that country's strong presence in our home.  Miss you foster family and we will be cheering for your country's Olympic athletes over the next 3 weeks.

I promise to post more pictures of Jae later this week.  But big news from Jae...he is pottytrained!  No more diapers!

Love,
Jae's Mom

A few random pictures

Breakfast on the Farm

Jae's First School Bus Ride

"This is the other school bus?"  About the school bus behind ours

Just finished breakfast of pancakes, sausage and of course...milk!

Baby goat

Cute face Mr. Jae!

Pigs

It is a dairy farm after all

Horsey ride with the 3 Aus' (soon to be 4!!)

Jae couldn't take his eyes off of Charlie (the horse)

"Go Charlie Go!"

One of many farm kittens

But his favorite...the tractors!

Jae threw a fit when we took him off the tractor to go home!  :)

Summer's Here

Today was the first hot day, so we thought we would get the sprinkler out.  Jae liked the sprinkler, but he loved the hose!  Ps - Foster Family:  I still love my bunny shoes!

Goal of 2012

The Herzogs have a new goal for 2012....all of us be healthy at the same time.  Sounds easy, right?  Not so much if you live in this house.  For those of you that don't know, Paul was at Mayo for a week as a result of a virus everyone gets before the age of 5 (expect Paul, obviously).  Jae has had a mysterious bumpy rash on his arms for the past two weeks.  And I am finally over a bout of pneumonia.  I don't think there has ever been so many prescription medicines in this house as there is right now.  But, everyone is on the mend. For now.

Other news, our house is on the market and has been for the past month.  Kind-of a long story, but we made a contingent offer on another home here in town.  We weren't seriously looking, but a house just fell in our laps.  Seriously.  The house we purchased was never listed on the market.  We knew someone who knew someone who was "thinking" about selling.  Closing is set for September 1st.  Now we just need to sell ours.  Knock on wood, but this might be the week.  We had one second showing last week and then a VERY positive first showing Friday night.  And someone apparently drove up the house and snuck a few pictures yesterday (thanks to our neighbors/spies).

Jae's Mom

 

Happy Memorial Day!

Beautiful weather for a great day of vacation.  We spent the day outside...first Owatonna's Memorial Day parade, then playing in the yard, Twins game (while Grandma and Grandpa babysat), and then back to the yard after dinner.  Great day. 

Love,
Jae's Mom
