Grampa's (Hal-ah-bo-gee's) Birthday!

Happy Birthday Dad! It's my dad's first birthday as Evann's Grandfather (Hal-ah-bo-gee in Korean). I haven't had a "first" in a long time. Although his birthday wasn't actually today, we had the party tonight.



We had the party at our house and got this delicious fresh fruit cake. Since my dad was born in the year of the boar (and 2007 is the year of the boar) we decided to get a boar on the cake. And no, this is not a picture of me on the cake...that jokes been made...move on.

We had some fabulous appetizers (courtesy of our house) and my sisters made the main course, rack of lamb with whipped potatoes, carrots and green beans. It was an incredible meal (compliments to the chefs)!

Too bad sister #2 wasn't able to make it over! I've included some pictures of the night so you don't feel like you've missed anything! Can't wait to see you Kaymi and Kaysun - all your cousins (and aunts and uncles) miss you! Here's a picture of you two flying from bed to bed in my hotel room!








Hal-ah-bo-gee with some of his other grandchildren (Hanum, Qwisun, Kihan and of course, Evann up top) helping him blow out the candles.







Yay! All are blown out!


Here's a picture of Evann and his Hal-ah-bo-gee and one of him with my Aunt (Como) and Uncle (Como-boo) who were visiting from Korea!

Thanks Vic for posting these photos of the family gathering for Dad's birthday. I am so sorry to have missed the celebration and especially to have missed Como and boo's visit.

Evann is soooooooooo cute and it is gratifying to at least see his photos any time we want (every day actually).

Missing all of you lots (though Sister #1 is visiting us right now!).

Love from across the pond,
Sister #2

and your mum and dad look well -- it's nice to see.

Here's the real time chronicles of my sons (there's 2 now) from the days before birth to present day from the father's point of view.
