Ethnic Enrichment

This is a conversation that happened tonight during bedtime.

Con and I are in his room talking before bedtime. Con has We have been talking a lot lately before bed. He is so sweet and I have been enjoying his grown up conversations.

Studly from Con's doorway "Honey can you rub my back when we are done putting the kids to bed?"

Con: "I will rub your back, daddy"

Me: "That is so sweet of you Con!"

Con: Mommy, Jesus asked Peter three times if he loved Him and everytime Peter replied Yes Jesus. God forgave Peter because he lied and said that He did not know Jesus. I am showing love today three times. Do you know how?

Me: How, Honey?

Con: "I made a picture of our baby sister in Korea because I love her. I forgave Jax for yelling at me and I gave him a second chance to be my friend."

Official, Proud Mommy Moment!

On friday night, Con and I had our "date night" I am trying to make this a tradition with him. As long as he lets me. I don't think I will get screaming and hugs and excitement when I mention date night to him when he is 16. I could dream though. I am good at those, lately!

We went to a family game place, his choice, of course. We ate dinner, played video games, toss balls for ski ball, knocked teeth out of a horse, raced cars, rode go-carts, and lots of other games. We spent two hours there and then came home and played in his room together for the rest of the night. I love the quality time with him and have cherished those moments. I pray he remembers these too.

Saturday night, we went to the Ethnic Enrichment Festival. This is our first time to go to this yearly event downtown. We plan on making this a family tradition for years to come. They had food from almost every country on Earth.We wanted to go mainly for the Korean enrichment however we found ourselves enjoying many other countries.


We ate Korean, Serbia, Brazil, Columbia, Italian and Morocco food.



The kids ran around in a large gravel pit with other children and we listened to some music playing on stage. It was a great experience and fun to try all the different types of food that this world has to offer.

The boys both got fake passports to have stamped as we went to the different countries. That was the funnest part for them. They ran from one country to another trying to collect as many stamps as possible.
