No pictures this time - just a check in. Teri, Joey, and I are all suffering from seasonal colds. We have had about three days of sun this past month. The remaining 27 days have been rain, from steady to downpour. Fortunately, our house leak is right above our bathtub. Every so often, you will feel a drop penetrate through your hair to your scalp - yikes, it is always cold! I have been on this post since 3 August and have yet to step foot outside the gates. Hopefully, that will change this weekend.

This coming Tuesday is Chusok - the Korean version of Thanksgiving. The traffic is so crazy that the military gives us the day off. We are prohibited from driving on the roads Monday and Wednesday. So it will be odd for me and the kids. We have the weekend, work/school on Monday, off on Tuesday, and then go back for the rest of the week.

Kids are loving school. Chris came back shouting, "I love school." He rides the bus next to his big brother and has one of the best teachers in the school. Joey is seriously missing his playmate. I came home for lunch today (a five minute walk) and he was quite upset that I did not have Chris with me.

Hope all is well in the States.

Love, Mona
