Lot's of Catching Up To Do!

It's been a while since we've blogged and we've been pretty busy! No baby yet, but HOPEFULLY by the end of the week. I go to the stork's nest (a Korea thing) on Monday, so the next blog will be all about Hudson's birthday! Woo Hoo! We are ready to have him here!

MeMe made it here last Monday and the kid's were over joyed. We've been having lots of fun with her and keeping her busy with our schedules! Now...let's play catch up!

The girl's in the squadron threw all the prego draggin' wives a 'surprise' baby shower. I put surprise in quotes because I was tipped off by a little birdie, so I knew what to wear :)

Dana, Annie, me and Brenda...the guests of honor!

All the lovely Draggin' ladies!

Our super cute cake...

Super cute onesies...

and super cute diaper cakes!

We also decided we would try to go to the Seoul Lantern Festival. They went all out this year because the G20 summit was here that week. However, we did not make it downstairs to walk on the river and see the lanterns. There were more people there then we've ever seen in our entire lives. The line to get down was at least 2 hours long, so we just enjoyed them from the top of the bridge!

Looking down the stream at all of the lanterns. It would have been lots of fun to go down and see them, but we just couldn't handle the lines.

MeMe got here and we put her right to work!! Here are she and E taking down the shelves in our laundry room, so that we could convert it to baby Hudson's room...you make the best of what you have when you live in an apartment!!

Working on the shelves!

Hudson's AWESOME bedding that MeMe made...I'm telling you there is nothing she can't do! We just LOVE it...now we just need baby H in it to enjoy it!!

Another view of his laundry room...nothing but the best for our little man!
This was the folding counter, but it has been converted to the changing table! MeMe even made the diaper bag...I'm telling you she's AMAZING!!

Aiden also made green belt. That was a big day in our house...he had been working on his routine for a while....here is the video!

He let MeMe hold the board and here he is VERY proud of himself for getting that green belt! For the record...I have NEVER gotten to hold the board!

Then we went on a girl's shopping trip to Seoul.

Here we are in Ms. Lee's house purse shopping. She does NOT allow pics, so that's why this one is not very good, but she has purses and wallets everywhere...it's nuts!

Now we're almost caught up. Thanksgiving came and went without too much fanfare. We participated in the Thunderbolt Feast again this year. Dad's squadron makes all the food and we serve it up at the high school cafeteria to all of the maintainers. It's a lot of fun and definitely a feel good experience!

Our little turkey's!
This is probably our last family pic as a family of 4...so crazy!

Here's one final shot from today....Elaina with a baby in her tummy!! She was talking to baby H today asking him to "Please kick, kick, kick and pop out!" and I told her that was up to God and she said "Lord, please let baby Hudson pop out now!" It was so funny! She is definitely a character!

Her 'baby' popped out about a second later...I wish it was that easy!
