A Korean Christmas - and New Years'!

With babies!!!!! Yes, everyone, we decided to come out with... our hidden child. Hidden to the world, that is, until her real parents also decided to crash our would-be parents' fun with their real parents' realism and oh... I must be too tired, this joke isn't working. Ah ze well!!! My good friend Jen from my CBC days and her hubby Allan got married a few months after I left college there and six and a half years later, with no face-to-face contact in between, here are their products!! (Amy, up there - year old cherub)



Oh, ji bo bo bo!!!



Oh ji?


Bo bo!!! (Baby is happy. In a jumble of Korean-English baby talk.)


This is Blake, 2 and a half years old I believe, Jen and Alan's eldest. And, we just found out, another one is on the way! Congrats you two!!!


New Years' Day: We took them to the coolest Japanese place that serves the best shabu-shabu we know of (thin slices of red meat that you cook in a tomato-esque broth with lots of greens and long 'shrooms thrown in). It's actually a three-courser that is all made from the same stuff: they give you udon noodles afterward in the same broth, then when you're finished that, they take your pot of broth, dump some of it out and mix fried rice in so that it makes a really yummy paste that you spoon off the side of the pot. Koreans are all about sharing. We like that.

And the family - probably the best shot we could get. Sorry, Alan, - I tried but the face - well it's a special facial shot, is it not?!


Pardon me, but I had to do New Years' first, it was too cute to pass up. Now for Christmas. And yeah, we didn't get too many shots of it but we liked our tree. Here's how it all started:


Et voila! Voici nos bon chances. Et apres ca, nous allons ecrire plus tard. Good French Lydia? Why thank you!

Haha! Blogger showed you...messing up the order of your posts and all. That's what you get for being such bad updaters for so long. Although we do appreciate the updates...keep 'em coming! Et ton francais est tres bien.

Ummm...among other things...Nathan and I are coming back to Korea in August.

You guys are so cool and I like your life. The tree is stunning. You guys are such a beautiful and expressive couple, both physically and in your brains. First you should both be models. Then you should be MTV Vjays so the whole world would model your interesting and creative natures.
