What a difference a year makes!

Halloween 2009 (Notice the boxes... just unpacked from Germany.)

Halloween 2010 (No visible boxes, but just unpacked in Korea. Some things never change, I suppose.)

Cutest duck. Ever.

Obviously I haven't been doing so well at updating the blog. I check other people's blogs regularly (I miss you, fellow Auerbachians, thank you for being better updaters!), but I'm hoping that checking them via the Blogger Dashboard instead of checking them regularly will help remind me to update.

We've been in Korea now for about a month and a half now, and in our house for a little over a month. Seems like so long considering it feels like we just got here! We really enjoy it so far and are happy to call Korea home for the next few years. Abby's been a huge hit with all of the locals. Something about an adorable, smiling, blond haired, blue eyed baby girl who loves new people seems to have an effect on them. Who knew!? She loves to smile and wave at everyone she sees and all of the Koreans love to talk to her and play with her. Everyone wins!

On the subject of Abby... we're dangerously close to walking. Scary close. Like, have the video camera ready close. And now that I've said that, she won't start walking for another 6 months out of spite. She's her father's daughter, after all. She crawls lightning fast and can talk now. She says Mama (when she's hungry), Dada (when she wants to play), and bye-bye (with an accompanying wave most times). And she knows her name. My graduate level psychology education tells me that these are all clearly signs of early brilliance. Her grandfather agrees and he's a psychologist, so it must be true. Two people can't both be biased in this situation, right?
