My time to watch the kids for 2 weeks.... I had promised Liz and Joon that I would be available to watch the kids for 2 weeks while they both were otherwise occupied with work and the kids were out of school.... Oh what fun we had.... And we were all still friends at the end of the two weeks.... Imagine that..!!!
Mom and Phil came out for a nice visit and we all had a great time just hanging out in the Bay area.....
We played in the back yard....

It almost looks like he was giving Grandpa the finger.....
Maddox has no fear... He still hadn't quite figured out how to get his head above the water to get a breath, but that didn't deter him in the least.....
Marley is an excellent swimmer...
And Lucile still loves her Grandpa.....

Phil and Marley swapping stories....
One of the real treats when you are a guest at the Kim household is to read to the kids before bedtime... And for the really special guests, you get to read the old Korean folk story of the Piping Tiger.... Here is Phil reading The Piping Tiger to Marley, with Mom onlooking.... It is quite a marvelous story that is guaranteed to have everyone, especially the reader, doubling over with laughter.... So the next time you visit the Kim home, make sure that you too, get invited to read this precious fable to the kids......
Here is a couple of tuff looking characters...!!!
And here we are at the end.... Didn't make it to bed, but the hall is kind of a special place to go to sleep anyway........And then it was time for me to head back to Manila....
Until next time.... Take care and love to all.......
