Christmas 2008

Merry Christmas! It's hard to believe another year has come and gone with the celebration of another Christmas. It's great to look at these photos and think of how much life has changed over the years. Jae and I have been married for nearly three years now with our first child on the way. The kids keep growing bigger and bigger with each year too. Just look at how small they were just a few years ago. (This is probably my favorite photo of Lydia & Joshua.)


Our family has also grown with the addition of Peter this year. The family just keeps on growing and growing. I may be getting ahead of myself, but hopefully next year will include another addition to our family with the coming of another baby. I know, Caleb hasn't even been born yet and I'm already thinking of a second child, but it's been such a great first pregnancy thus far even with all the discomfort and aches that I can't help but to think of another. So if all goes well, perhaps next year's Christmas family photo will include little Caleb and a little brother or sister for him in mommy's tummy. :)

Here's the Son's: Namjin, Yeonah, Lydia and Joshie.



And a cute photo of Jae and the kids . . . and Miffy. Joshie's an especially big fan of Miffy and so the kids decided to give a Miffy stuffed toy to Caleb on his first Christmas. :) Joshie was first introduced to the little Dutch bunny when Jae and I returned from the Netherlands with a Miffy souvenir tshirt for Lydia. Turns out that Joshie fell in love with the bunny immediately and when Lydia eventually out grew the shirt, Joshie claimed it for himself and it's been history since. I suppose the kids wanted to return the favor and share the joys of Miffy with their new cousin. :)


Ah, and here's Uncle David with the kids. I would never have guessed, but the big hit of this year's Christmas were these books used to organize/display the new collector's edition of quarters. I was surprised to learn that the kids really enjoy coin collecting, and as soon as they opened their gifts, they began jumping up and down for joy. Transformers and GI Joes were the long sought after toys of my days, but I suppose times have changed, the economy isn't what it once was and kids have become more financially savvy. Who'd a figured? :|
