Little Budha showing off his new Jordan style

Here's some random picts taken this month.

With some help from Scotts lawn product, our grass is finally growing thick and green. Even our little piggy is mesmorized by the drastic change.


Children's Museum - June 29th
I reassured everyone that Zachariah was not drinking the water...not 100% of it, that is. A little water from the hose didn't hurt me.


Some picts of our little piggy before his new hair cut.


Max and Zachariah on the bubble making see-saw. Max was amazed of the bubble and Zachariah was more amused to knock his little brother of the see-saw.




The "three boys"....


Max finally got his head shaved. Our "little Budha" can pull of the Jordan style, not sure if I can.






Some little whip cream to give them a little more sugar rush...

Max's 1st Birthday (Dohl)

Another year and a big milestone for our "golden pig" or simply known as "piggy" by us. What a journey it has been for all of us. I recall the days after Max’s birth when I dropped Suzanne off at the NICU to check on him. It’s hard to believe our son had any health complications now. Every time we drive by Children’s Hospital – I’m always reminded of those three weeks where Max was kept in the incubator with the bright UV lights for his jaundice and breathing tubes attached to his face. It’s true time sure does fly when you’re having fun or; at least in our situation you have two boys to chase after.

Max just celebrated his birthday with few friends from his block and a surprise visit from his grandma & grandpa (Suzanne’s parents).


Here's a picture from Zachariah's 1st B-day.


Here’s the slideshow with few video clips –

Background of “Dohl”
Dohl (First Birthday)
In Korea, a baby’s first birthday (dohl) is a big milestone, celebrated with a lavish party, professional photography sessions, life-determining rituals and traditional costumes.
Part of the tradion is to present the child with the following items and to foretell what the future holds.
(1) a bowl of rice = this indicates no hunger; meaning the child will be healthy
(2) pencil/pen = this indicates the child will be a scholar
(3) money = this one is obvious...wealth
(4) ball = this indicates the child will be athletic

Max picked the ball and then grabbed the pencil.
