we've been super fortunate to be at my in-laws' the past month ~ they've helped SO much with the baby (not to mention showering her with ridiculous amounts of gifts & grandparent love), but they've also taken SUCH good care of me & philip. my m-i-l is a CRAZY good cook, so she's been making me all kinds of delicious eats like homemade jja jjang myun, dumplings from scratch, pho(yes, pho!), my fave shabu shabu w/the thinnest, most delicious melt-in-your-mouth beef, tacos & fajitas, dduk gook, seafood stew/jiggae, and a bunch of other yummy korean goodness. i know i've been uberly spoiled by them, and i'm super thankful and blessed that we (esp kayla) got to spend so much valuable time with them. definitely lots of amazing memories for kayla and us :) u can never have too much family love :)
