In early October we took a Sunday trip to Namdaemu Market for lunch and shopping. It's a huge night and day market that dates back to the 15th century. It has thousands of shops and stalls selling food, ginseng, dried seaweed, clothes, shoes, hiking gear, watches, toys, stationery, etc. We ate kimchi, bulgogi, yaki mandu and who knows what else. :)

Korean rice cakes, more like rice paste rolled into a sticky ball, it must be an acquired taste.
Eels, anyone?
Carson wanted to take one home as a pet.
I'm 10 months old. I weigh 20.6 pounds and I'm 28 inches long. I have 8 teeth. I can "ruff" like a dog, but I also "ruff" when I see birds, cats, etc. My favorite place to play is in Carson and Jessica's room where the big kid toys are located. I especially like Carson's cool Nerf guns, pencils, crayons, and Legos, because Mom always takes them away from me. I love to pull all the books off of my bookshelf and flip through all the pages. I can stand and I am taking 2-3 steps all by myself.

Our little or not so little Carsy turned 7 on October 22nd. My mom, Gran, was here to celebrate with us. We had Monkey Bread and present opening before school, cupcakes at school and bowling with pizza that night. Joe was TDY to Osan, but came home to surprise Carson. Carson is a very active, energetic, sweet, creative and smart 7-year old. He's 50 pounds (mostly skin and bones) and 49 inches. He loves Legos, Kinex, Lincoln Logs, puzzles, drawing, and every kind of sport - soccer, golf, baseball, basketball, etc. His new hobbies are Karate and our new Wii. Thanks Gran and Pooops! He's such a terrific big brother to Jess and Baby Garrett.
