Working It

Bonnie at work. Playing at work? Who wouldn't love a teacher who dresses up and plays games all day for a culture class?

Japan Layover

Yep, Justin has a mask on to prevent Swine Flu.

We stopped at the oxygen bar before getting on our last flight back to Seoul. The aromas of peppermint, melon, lemon, etc. were really refreshing. We also got brief massages at the massage studio next door.

Japanese Origami displays.

Everything made of paper! They were in a store near the oxygen bar and massage parlor. All this in the airport! :)

Before going back to Korea we had a layover in Seattle and spent two nights and one whole day with our beloved Maryann! We love you Mary!

Mary took us to the Queen Mary Tea House, one of the top five tea houses in America according to CNN. Definitely the best tea house we have ever visited!

Here's to a fabulous tea party! And the World's Best Layover!

We each had our own teapot with our own special tea and a timer (as seen in the pic.) to time our specific tea. Mary had cream sickle, Candace had vanilla, Justin had apple strudel and Bonnie had almond cream. We all agreed Justin's was the best and Mary treated us even further by sending Justin and I back to Korea with a box of the delicious apple strudel tea. Thanks again Mary!

Justin had the best quiche ever according to his taste buds. He gave it his full attention and wouldn't talk to anyone else for the entire time it took him to eat it.

Mary took us to the University of Washington in hope of convincing us to go there for school in the future. It just may have worked. :)

Mary took us around her lake and nearby magical forest.

To lift our spirits Mary surprised us by taking us to a live comedy show! The first time any of us have ever gone! And it was a clean comedian, we loved it! Laughter is God's medicine.

My Sweet Stepdad

My sweet stepdad passed on and my infinite gratitude for him, for his kindness and his love for me, feels like a wind still blowing me forward, to live life in love and celebration--what he saw and inspired in me. I will never forget him sitting on my bed chatting the night darker, playing drums together (trading off solos), witnessing his proud fatherly smile and laughing at his witty humor.
I love you. ~Justin


Flowers from all seven kids.


See the drums?


This drum and cymbal will be buried in a separate plot next to him. The resurfaced black floor tom was originally part of his first kit.

Sweet Josh, Stephanie and Jason's new son, Jack's little brother. He's all smiles! Bonnie loved squeezing his chubby cheeks.
