Happy Dress-Your-Kidlet-Up-In-A-Costume!

Call it Hallelujah Night, Shout for Joy, or (gasp!) Halloween... I'll just say Happy Early Dress-Your-Kidlet-Up-In-A-Costume Day! Heheh. Eli's bumblebee suit is too small for him (surprise, surprise), but these hand-me-downs are enough to satisfy my thirst for amusement:

bzzzz.... bzzzz....

I think these pictures will be filed under Amusing Pictures for Future Wedding Slideshow. My inspiration? An old picture I have of Kwang and his brother as toddlers wearing white tights with short shorts. 

Opting for more indoor activities as the weather here in LA dips at times to a 'chilly' 68 degrees , Jude has decided that he, Eli, and I are in a rock band together. I made the semi-regrettable decision one day to watch a performance of Snow Patrol on TV w/Jude. Since then, we have a daily recording session where Jude plays a tiny toy guitar the size of a TV remote while making me sit in a tiny toddler-size chair, hold Eli, and play a toy piano. It's times like these that make me wonder who the parent in this relationship really is.

So instead of displaying a picture of our band which you can just imagine in your head, I will post a more edifying photo from the weekend. While his parents were watching football on TV, Jude decided to pull up to his desk before bed and read his Bible... all by himself.

It was a special weekend as our little Eli was infant baptized. This was a day Kwang & I vowed to raise Eli in the nurture and admonition of the Lord and endeavor to set before him a godly example. I pray the Lord will enable us to raise our sons wisely and lovingly to be men of great faith, character, & integrity. Sometimes I feel selfish for having brought children into the world when I feel so ill-equipped to be a mother. I need much prayer. It makes me all the more thankful to have Kwang.

And finally, here's an updated picture of Eli & Matthew (Jean & Charles' son). As I uploaded it, I realized what a fantastic picture it is of Eli for the sole reason that for once his head doesn't look as big as it is in actuality which is about twice the size of Matthew's. What excellent strategic positioning by my friend Jean!
