getting into the holiday spirit. this year, we added a few more ornaments to the tree...

from susan.

a message from arrow's 100 day. from haejung & david.

 coral from the philippines.

 a gift from susan last year.

 one of arrow's first socks.

garland from flannery. it was all knotted up from the move, but turned out to be perfect ornaments.

arrow's been taking naps with kitty & puppy. he loves it when i tuck all three of them in.

after arrow's nap i was getting ready to make the bed, and found that he had re-tucked his friends into bed...upside down (with their little feet & homemade diapers peeking out). pretty adorable.

with zachary wrapping up the semester and us getting ready for our trip to the states, things have been crazy around here. today i decided to take a break while arrow was napping and enjoy a very simple, yet satisfying lunch. rice, a banchan from my aunt (sweet & spicy dried fish with walnuts), and homemade plum tea from jiwon's mother-in-law. i used the mug that stella (an swu student) made and a brass bowl from susan.

wow, feeling the love.

he's been into the dinosaur that kyle got him.

these girls were walking around campus with their parents, and befriended us. arrow entertained them with his dance moves and played with their baseball. one of their dads sent me these pictures.

arrow, the social butterfly.

the gang.
as soon as arrow sees bin, he grabs her hand and is ready to play. she's really great with arrow. it's cute to see them goofing around.

lounging on the heated floors. would love to know what he's thinking about.

our friend, hank, had a bunch of us over for dinner. arrow had fun snooping around his place. a late night for the little man. he conked out.

so much to be thankful for.

phone calls.

tipssy. one of swu's dance groups.

traffic jam.

been making forts with the help of our mosquito net.

failed attempt at trying to win my baby the bus. probably could've won the red & orange worm guy, but if you saw it's freaky bulging eyes, you wouldn't have gone for it either.

psy whispering to us to come to the 2nd floor.

i like his frilly top accentuating his curves.

also, to my surprise, arrow can do the "gangnam style" dance. we've shown him the video only once or twice, and he's seen a kid doing it at the park. but not a lot of psy exposure, at least that's what i thought. at my cousins house, he was dancing in circles and i said "show us gangnam style" (not expecting him to do it). but he crossed his hands and started jumping. a k-pop star in the making!

he says "bo" for boat!

you can feel the intensity when he drums.

we spent the day at my cousin's house. as you can see from the spread, we ate a ton.

hyungboo took out his old keyboard.

 which started a family band!

arrow crashed on the subway, but he wasn't the only dude.

a truck selling king crabs.
