family orientation continues

i have been with my family for 3 weeks now!  time is really flying!

over the past two weeks, i have become further attached to daddy (over mommy, though she will suffice if he is not around), and i have come to really love my big bro!  i look for him when i wake up and started laughing when he tickles me.


overall i have been having a lot of fun, experiencing many new things, like parks, rides, and museums.  i have yet to understand the enjoyment people get out of a "swing", and anything that moves like one.  my big bro can't get enough of it, but i'm simply content watching him.


as much fun as the activities have been, i am most happy when i'm eating and running around free.  i make the best facial expressions when eating too :)



i haven't externally grieved for my omma since my first two days in korea, and again the first few days in CA.  i'm very social, and enjoy going up to strangers and waving "hi", but when i'm feeling insecure, i will return to mommy or daddy.  externally, things seem to be going well, but bonding & attachment simply take time, and it goes two ways.  so amidst the external fun, i'm working on letting my guard down to trust that my family is not going anywhere, and has my back in all situations.

as for mommy ... her & i have a long road ahead of us!  we have stubborn, independent spirits ... need i say more?  we likely have many "clashes" ahead of us!  thankfully we are in a committed relationship ...  no exchanges, returns or refunds!! :)

I love Asher's expression in those photos. Seems like he has a fun and silly personality.
