Cars and Paint.

Our neighbors of 3 years in Daegu moved here to Seoul around the time we did. After moving to a high rise they no longer had room for their son's car. The Jenkins so graciously offered it to Jimmy. He of course did not refuse. As soon as he starts rollin' his mouth starts moving. Non stop chatter.

It's hot out so we found a little creative fun inside. Our neighbors joined us later (no pics) and all the art turned out beautiful and each on so different. Painty marbles are too much fun (and quite a mess!).

The Ayers

As one last hoora, the Ayers were so sweet as to load their bunch up and come stay with us for the July 4th weekend. 7 kids in a 3 bedroom house and the weekend was perfection. We even got the entire Seoul Zoo to ourselves. And to top that, one night we got ALL the kids to bed and the adults got to stay up and talk. It may have been a first for our entire friendship.
Sigh. We miss them dearly. They are in our daily conversations. Little Jimmy always prays for them (if nothing else). Such sweet and special memories.

The pictures on the right side of this block were the Ayers as we drove away. Majia sucking her thumb....and Caleb eventually sitting on the side of the road singing an impromptu "Ode to the Hendrix Family".

Julie posted some pics of the kids and a sweet message I've yet to read (trying to keep my eyes dry).

Our New Home.

This is it. This is where we will lay our heads for the next 365 ish days. Reminds me of my post college apartment days but in the land of high-rises and population of 10+million, it's a pretty big deal to have any sort of yard at all. So we will be grateful and play in our little strip of yard for as many hours as the sun light will allow. ;)
