ELI

A great name, a great game. The main reason I was cheering for the NY Giants in this year's Superbowl was their quarterback's first name, because I'm reasonable like that. Eli Manning took the MVP title, but I think our little Eli should've taken the halftime show. It's funny how uncomfortably shy he is yet so obedient in the video clip below. How can Jesus not Love the Little Children?

 
It was a tough week both personally and professionally. I somehow managed to get through work although now more sleep deprived than usual. I generally try to keep this blog lighthearted, but we experienced a heartbreaking loss in Kwang's extended family. While I tried to be strong for my husband, I was a mess.  Listening to Kwang speak so fondly of personal moments he had in the past with his uncle broke my heart, and it made me realize all the more how fortunate his uncle's sons were to have him. Although Jude is only 3 and Eli is only 1, I feel they are also very fortunate to have Kwang as a dad... even when he tells them to pull his finger and then passes gas very loudly when they pull it. Why all three laugh each time as if it's the first time is beyond me.

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of Kwang's uncle.  This Sunday's sermon must have come close to home in a very personal way.  Yes, I agree with you, I think your boys are lucky to have both you and Kwang as parents.  Baby #3 is in for a real treat!
