Day One

So we did not make it to church this morning.

We did finally make it out the house around 11 to go meet a new little guy named Zion Tamen Baney.  He was born exactly one week ago to our friends Justin and YJ.  On our way to Pyeongtaek, which is about an hour and a half from where we are, we decided to introduce our friend Steve, who is visiting from my husband's hometown growing up, to a decent "Shabu-Shabu" meal.  You get a communal hot pot of boiling broth (which tastes awesome) at the center of the table in which you throw some paper-thinly sliced beef with lots of veggies for a few seconds and scoop out and eat them.  We found this restaurant on the top floor of a Shinsegae department store at the express bus terminal.  We waited half an hour to get seats but it was worth it.  Steve liked it.  We all enjoyed it.

Ti enjoyed the "teething bling" I had around my neck. :P

(Just for personal record, I ran into one of my relatives there.)  Promptly, after this excellent lunch, we got on a bus to our destination Pyeongtaek.

After about an hour ride on the bus we finally arrived in Pyeongtaek.  We squeezed ourselves into Justin's car with the humongous stroller in the back when we got off the bus, and finally arrived at their place.  Baby Zion and mommy YJ looked great!  I got to hold him and started fantasizing....for a few seconds....you know, of another one...just for a few seconds!  I think he looks more "Western" than either of my babies did.  Anyway, he is BEAUTIFUL.  I just love his long, full, dark, curly hair!  :)

Ari said, "The baby popped out!"  :)  Ti was busy crawling around on the floor.  We'll probably all be in Chicago the next time we get together...

Kiddos did great considering having no real naps in the afternoon obviously.

We got home around 9.  Put the tired kiddos straight to bed...and it's our turn--Good night!
