We took a trip to Chicago & Baltimore this past week. Jude was asked to be the ringbearer at my cousin's wedding in Baltimore so we first stopped in Chicago for my family and friends to meet Eli for the first time. Sadly, it may be our only trip out there this year 
Jude had a great time on our vacation. He loves his "hung-ah" and "noonah" but it was surprising to see how affectionate and playful he was with his little cousin, Noelle. She is one year old and the tiniest girl. She wears the same size diaper as Eli, who is only 3 months old. Everything about her is so petite and cute.
Meanwhile, Elijah turned 100 days so we celebrated with a dinner at my parents' house...
After a week in Chicago, we flew to Baltimore for the wedding. Jude is 2 years and 3 months old. We were so honored to have him be a part of the wedding, but we were also very concerned. My mother-in-law had been practicing w/him before our trip, but for those of you who may not know the mind of a 2 yr old, walking slowly down an aisle by yourself in front of a church full of people is not something you are excited or even willing to do. He didn't even have a flower girl to walk with. So on the night of rehearsal, he basically ran down the aisle, saw my mom in a pew, and ran to her. 
And here he is relaxing after finishing his ringbearing duties.. and his lollipop:
The picture above is of Jude again with his cousin, Noelle. She really can't talk yet and he is just starting to put together long sentences, but for some reason Noelle is crazy about her cousin Jude. It's such a precious sight. From Baltimore, we flew back to LA yesterday. Including a layover, it was almost 8 hours of air travel with an infant and toddler... but we made it!

wow, lisa. jude is so well behaved and obedient. you're so blessed to have such a bright and charming boy. i heard eli is HUGE! your boys are adorable...
serious props to you for enduring a cross country flight with a toddler AND an infant, especially with all the restrictions and long lines! i LUV eli's cheeks!! he's gotten so big and he still looks a lot like you, lisa. jude looks quite dashing in his tux...and i'm sure he was a HUGE hit at the wedding.
i think eli looks a lot like you, too. and jude looks so adorable in his little tux! it must have been so nice to spend time with your family-nobody loves your kids the way family does. i wanted to send you an invitation for andrew's birthday but i don't have your address. can you email it to me when you get a chance: jeannewhang@yahoo.com thanks! we hope to see you soon!

awe...i wish i was there to see jude in his little tux in person. hahaha... i'm glad you got a chance to see your family and your sisters. laura :)
Hi Lisa, I saw Jude and Kwang for a minute, but didn't see you and Eli. Jude's getting so big, probably seems moreso cause we see him once or twice a year. He looks sharp in his tux! We always hope that the boys will grow up being best friends since they're close in age, big bro looking out for little bro. I think that's part of the privilege of having sons... besides training them to mow the lawn and take out the garbage by age 10.
