I'm Going to Be a Big Sister!!!


Hi Family and Friends!

The big news is...WE'RE PREGNANT!!!! Addy's going to be a big sister!!! My due date is June 8, so I'm 11 weeks now, and we're so excited to expand our family. We've been keeping it hush-hush until we got to spill the beans to both sets of grandparents in person, and now that we've done that - we can share the news with all of you. If we've been out of touch lately, it's because (1) as soon as we found out 5 weeks ago, we quickly decided to move out of our small 2 bedroom apt into a much larger 4 bedroom apt (just a few blocks away from our old apt), so we've been crazy busy with apt hunting and moving, and (2) I've been getting morning & day & evening sickness, so just balancing everything has been a bit rough. BUT, we just happily moved into our new apt a few days ago, which we love (and we live right above my good friend Sunhee whose got a 15-month old daughter), and we're getting prepared for our little one on the way. This time, we're going to be surprised on the day of delivery - we're thinking Chloe or Joseph - either way, we're very, very happy.

As for our summer - sorry that we haven't posted pics in a long time. These are the pics from mid-June til late August. I've got Halloween pictures that I'll add soon. All in all, we had a great first summer in Chicago, so check out all we did and saw. The biggest milestone was Addy's 1st birthday on August 27 - we celebrated a few times over and marveled at the way she's changed our lives for the better over the last year. These days, she's quite the busy toddler - running around, saying about 20 words (including "no!" and "dang!"), and just enjoying life as a 15-month old should.

As a last note, now that we've got a lot more space, you're all welcome to come and visit! Talk to you soon and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
