2012 Christmas Card!!!

This is our 2013 2012 (note the typo on the lower right corner of the card) Christmas card. We procrastinated big time this year and rushed through finishing it. Aedhun did not draw anything, bumber. It's not complete without him but Niki did draw his first Chrtistmas ornament which is the blue giraffe. I'm the koala bear obviously and Niki's the moose. The weird square headed dudes are Kason's drawings via Minecraft, Rhuelin's the turtle and Breelahn's the bumpy-looking cat behind the turtle. We sure do love doing these cards every year.

Breehlan Eating Dog Food in Hiding

Breelahn had a phase where she would eat the dog food from the dog dish (and drink from the water dish but that's a different story). Well, of course Niki and I would discourage it but Breelahn would take some food and hide in order to eat it without getting caught. When you're hungry ya gotta eat I guess. One day I noticed the dog's food dish competely gone and that Breelahn was inside a floor cubbart. I, of course, being the diligent father to guide and direct my child to eat correctly, went and got the camera. The resulting footage is as seen here. Enjoy, it's one of my home favorites.

How Does a 1/4 Korean Red Head Baby Sound to you?

Niki, the tweo girls and I went out tonight to visit one of Niki's friends who just gave birth to a gorgeous baby girl named Aeowyn (sp?). Niki's friend is white and her husband is 1/2 Korean so their beautiful girl was born with wide eyes, brownish red hair and slightly bronzed skin. A beautiful daughter of God now begins the sojourn of her mortality. God bless her, the mother, and father.

He'll Be a Boy!!!

The title is a spinoff of "it's a boy!" after a baby is born. Baby boy's name a will be Aedhun Rean Zechiel. It's pronounced ("ay-din reign") and his name comes from his four siblings as well as Niki's cousin and husband. Aedhun's arrival sure did put Niki and I into a change of mind. We have both concluded that we will have no more babies. But, alas, God had other plans for us. While we are thrilled for his arrival and to be part of our family, I do think, for medical reasons, we'll make choices to prevent future conceptions. In the mean time, Niki and I hope and pray for a healthy baby boy.
