My sweet little Brodie

I took Brodie to the pediodonist today. She looked at his teeth and said they all look healthy, well except one. Remember our little water park incident?? I told her about it and the dentist wanted us to take him to her to have a look. She took some x-rays and found out that his tooth is fractured. So, with that said, the permanent teeth do not look harmed in any way. However, they need to remove his front tooth. It will be a little funny that the "tooth fairy" will visit Brodie before he visits Jenna. The poor girl just really wants her teeth to fall out. His appointment will be July 11th, right before Mimi comes to visit.

On a lighter note, we found the school that he'll be attending and will start tomorrow. It's a Korean school and they don't speak a lot of English. Once Creed gets potty trained, he'll be going there as well. It will be very interesting how much Hangul they'll be learning! We are all very excited about this!!

Hope all of your days are a little less hectic than our today, but this is what happens when you RUN at the water park!!

Review of Splish & Splash

I know there are many of my Daegu friends who really want a review of Splish and Splash. We've been there twice. The first time Brodie fell....from running. After that, he's decided it's better to stay safe.

At the Splish and Splash they have an Olympic size pool. It also features a pool with 2 diving boards that are high and low. 2 different slides, one open and one closed, by this I mean a tube on top of the tube you slide down. A kiddie pool that has palm trees that spray water, 2 little slides, spraying water things all over the structure. It has another little kiddie area that you walk around...NOT RUN! This has water spraying all over the place, but no pool. A playground, with no water. A VERY EXPENSIVE snack bar. They also have life vests for kids and a few noodles. Here are a few pictures to intice all of you to come visit!!

What you've ALL been waiting for

So, I've taken a few pictures of our apartment. Inside and our views. Here they are. I know that you've all been anxiously awaiting them.

This is the view from our balcony outside our family room.

This is what happens

We went to the water park here yesterday. The first five minutes of the park were great. Then...the inevitable happened. All I've got to say is, when your parents tell you not to RUN at the water park, then you better listen. This could be the outcome. One scraped knee.

And a visit to the dentist.

We need to keep an eye on his 2 front teeth. If they start changing color, then we need to take him back in. He'll be seeing the pediodontist on Tuesday. We're hoping all is OK with the "big people" teeth.

We're hoping the next trip to the water park DOES NOT END UP LIKE THIS ONE!!!

Our Move

Well, we've made our move to Camp Humphreys. We was a nice drive and found it without any troubles. We've even made it to Osan twice. The BX is bigger and better in Osan, than the PX we have here.

We're moving into our apartment today. Actually getting our household goods too. We are excited about the move and hope to get our place somewhat functional before the weekend ends. We'll be getting our internet and phone on Monday. We still need to located the cable place. Hopefully we can get that taken care of today.

Once we get our internet, I'll take some pictures and post them, so you can all see what our place looks like.

Posting pictures

I have a ton of pictures that I need to post, just haven't had the time. Once we're not quite so busy, I'll get them posted.

Wednesdays Hero

This Weeks Soldiers Were Suggested By Mary'>http://maryannaville.blogspot.com">Mary Ann

Col. David Sutherland(Left)

45 Years Old From Toledo, Ohio Commander,

3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division

Since being deployed to the Diyala province of Iraq in November 2006, Col. David Sutherland, along with brigade Chaplain Maj. Charlie Fenton, pictured on the right, has made it a point to visit every wounded soldier and say goodbye to each and everyone of his men who've lost their life. Four of his soldiers died on one day in April 2007 and the bad news arrived at his office in waves -- a knock on the door, a note handed in by an aide, heads bowed, knowing glances exchanged. Aides say Sutherland walks to the mortuary affairs tent at his base and embraces the dead bodies of his men. "I hug all my fallen soldiers", said Sutherland. "They are my own". Diyala province is one of the worst places in Iraq. Public beheadings of Iraqi police, tribal wars, sectarian wars and al-Qaida. "I didn't come here thinking it'd be easy. No one told me, 'You're gonna get 9 hours of sleep a night and you're not gonna lose soldiers'. But I believe this is the place for me." "As a soldier, I want to be here on the ground," he said. "As an American, I want it to end."

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.

We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived.
