The big day

We managed to survive an entire weekend barely at home for A-jik's wedding. We had the chance to meet and spend time with family from near and far!

What are all these people taking photos of?




Doesn't everyone look pretty and handsome?
A-jik and our new A-jim and Cousin H (hotel?). Welcome to the family!!

Christmas festivities

The Christmas story took on special meaning for us this year. "For unto us a child(ren) is born, unto us a son(s) is given" (paraphrase Showerheads). It is truly awesome to realize that Jesus came to this world as a little baby; that God would send his son to take on all that we have done wrong. Our first CHRISTmass was very special.

After going to our first Christmas Eve service as a family of 4, we all slept in.

Taking a nap after opening all the presents people gave us. Having your first Christmas is tough work!
Laughing it up (audible laughter milestone!) with A-gong on Christmas Day.
What's dad doing? Building a computer in a rack mount amp case, obviously!
Our first Christmas was a white Christmas. Good thing we're all bundled up.
Dad and J. A-ku warming up by the yule log. Wait a sec...


Guitar Heroes! Are we starting them too young?

A. A-ku and J. A-i taking a hand at feeding and burping in tandem. Hope to see you again soon. We miss you!
Hey, I thought we were going to take it easy this Christmas.

Almost Christmas

Wow, look at all the babies at church!! That's 9 kids and 12 parents. Soon it will be 11 and 14. I think the parents are barely staying ahead.

Check out the formal attire. (Thank you L A-gohs)
Now we can feed handsfree (while attended, of course!).

Surprise Visitor

Look who Mushi found at the airport? DC was in between flights on his way to join his family for Christmas. He had a quick lesson in feeding, diaper changing and car seats for twins during his layover. We hope we got him back in time for his flight.

Reading...

Look! I can hold up my head and read my book!

Shhh, I'm trying to concentrate.

Nanny factory

What else could this be but the assembly line of a nanny factory?
Here's a candidate for favourite auntie. Many people are running for the position.

Elusive Booger

3 things that make a new parents' day. :) It's the little triumphs and joys in life that we look forward to. (In no particular order.)


1. Catching a pee/poo in the old diaper, before a new diaper is in place (and wasted).

2. Having your baby finish a bottle of precious EBM (expressed breast milk) that you (the mom) worked so hard for.

3. Getting the elusive booger that goes in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out ...

You'll be happy to know we won this battle. Still waiting (a few more years) to see if we can win the war. :)

Anyone have any other items of joy to add?
