Seoul

Capital of South Korea

Seoul, officially the Seoul Special City, is the capital and largest metropolis of South Korea. A megacity with a population of more than 10 million, it is the largest city proper in the OECD developed world. Wikipedia

 

Population: 10,581,728 + 6 Thats right, The Thompsons are headed to South Korea!!   Our time in North Dakota has finally come to an end (que bells and whistles) we are happy to be leacing even if it is to Korea. Keep tuned in for our daily play by play.

Rocky left for his long deployment a couple days before Christmas. We have been without him for several Christmas's but this one is especially hard with it being so close. The base here gave all of the kids a Daddy Doll with Rockys picture on it and we recieved them the night before he left=)

We're ba'ack...

It's been almost three years since I last posted so it is time to start up again=)

We now live in Grand Forks, North Dakota. We are 30 minutes from Minnesota (the closest town too) and an hour from Winnepeg, Canada. It is insainly cold here and there is nothing but flat land for miles and miles and miles. It really isn't too bad though, and the kids have been liking it so far.

Some more picture

First food (if you can call it food)

little Lucas took one bite, his first bite, and then off to sleep he went
I guess he wasn't as excited about getting to eat cereal as I was to give
it to him
William had his first bite and he wasn't quite sure what to think of it. When he got one spoon full down I assumed he was ready for another. This is where he started wishing he had gone to sleep after the first bite too. He spit it out all down the front of him and started to cry.

DeJaVu

Here are the little guys, not so little at about 1 month old.

William Joseph Thompson, on the right, born at 0734 on the 12th also (duh).
His weight was 6lbs 9oz and was also 19in.

Well it's only been six months but I figured it was long enough that I should write. Rocky came back in September safe and sound. In October we moved into our own house on base and went trick or treating at Grandma and Grandpas with all the cousins. November I was huge, misserable, and soooo ready to pop, but nothing happened. Then after Thanksgiving I was even bigger. Then finaly at 38 weeks and 2 days the boys were born on December 12th. January was full of sleepless nights and sleepless days and still continues. February was rough, we went to Indiana to see Rockys family. We drove with all four kids accross a bunch of states then stayed for two weeks and drove back over all thoes states again. It was an interesting trip to say the least. So here we are in March and I started my EMT-I training and got a job as an EMT at Lagoon, woohooo! Rocky is studying his a** off for his next rank of Tech Sgt. He tests at the end of the month. Kaed is doing awsome in gymnastics and will continue throughout the summer. He also starts Kindergarten next September. Caisy is still crazy. she's excited to start pre-school soon and is loving her new brothers.
