Oh my, My little peanut has officially turned one! I couldn’t be more proud of my little girl for being such an awesome kid with tons of friends and family who love her. My in-laws held a huge first birthday party for Lily in Augusta. The “Doljanchi”, is a traditional korean celebration with lots of food and decorations. The child is placed behind object that symbolize different professions in life, such as a stethoscope for a doctor, a ball for an athlete, or an instrument for a musician. Lily took about 20 second to choose, but in the end she chose the little violin we had placed on the table. I have a long line of musicians in my family so this might actually come true. The party continued with some traditional birthday events, such as a small “smash cake” to play with and smear icing on her face. That turned into a slow destructive process. Icing in the hair, ear, and even some on my camera. The party was held at a friends Korean restaurant which provided tons of amazing korean dishes, enough to feed about 100 people. We had a blast, and most importantly Lily did great, no crying and all smiles as people passed her around the room. Thanks to everyone who was there and thanks for all of Lily’s gifts. She thanks you!

Happy Birthday Lily, your parents love you bunches!

Goodbye Wondeful Korea

October 20, 2009

For our last day in Korea, Angela wanted to visit a traditional Korean village where they still practice the ancient traditions from hundreds of years past. That took up the entire day, but we were able to enjoy some wonderful sunshine and cool breeze. Our last meal was a very large proper Korean BBQ, with way too much food for two Americans. I will miss this wonderful country and the even nicer people. Tomorrow morning we get on a 10am flight, and we will arrive at ten am the same day in Atlanta. It will feel strange.
