HAPPY BIRTHDAY ESTHER!!

I have not been so good about keeping up with this blog. I have not posted anything since late July. Well here it is February 07.
Esther will be turning ONE on Sunday. Where does the time go? I can't believe she is one. She is crawling all over the place and starting to pull herself up on the things. She shakes her whole body yes and no, wave, can baby sign: more, all done, down, change. Lots of babbling: mama, papa, meow. I can't imagine life without her and what an incredible blessing she is. She still adores her big sister Helena and gives her the most smiles. I love watching her and Helena interact. I can't wait to see them together as they get older. My hope and prayer for Esther is that she will grow into a woman of courage and strength just like Queen Esther in the Bible.
On Saturday, we'll be throwing a big birthday bash Korean style. The "tol" (1st birthday) is a huge milestone. There will be lots of yummy Korean food: bulgogi, kim bap, homemade mandu, chop chae, etc. Esther will be making a entrance with her hanbok (beautiful traditional Korean dress) and will be "predicting" her future by picking from such items as (book or pencil: scholar; money or rice: rich; thread: long life, etc).
Stay tuned, we'll post some pictures after the big bash.
