NEWLY ADDED PHOTOS: 28th February 2006 (LAST NIGHT'S)

YESTERDAY (February 27th) was my birthday and my father-in-law's birthday. This year my birthday under the solar calendar and his birthday under the lunar calendar co-incided. So here we are, having another party. Heius is kindly helping us cut the cake. I'm 33 and he is 68.

Heisu is singing us happy birthday, along with her halmoni.


Here is a close-up of the cake which Heisu chose. Look closely and you can see the cat and the elephant. Not sure what that signifies; who is the cat and who the elephant.

TODAY was my 33rd birthday... and I must say it was the best 33rd birthday I've ever had! Here are some of the photographic highlights. We went to a buffet restaurant called "Dinkum" in the Chimsandong area of Daegu. Dinkum means "genuine" or "100%". You're most likely to hear an Australian use this fabulous word. Anyway, great place. We stuffed ourselves.
Heisu wolfing "i ki-leem". Note her slightly devious expression.

Kate. Sometimes known as Tilly.
Here we all are. Heisu is eating a chip. You can also see ice-cream in her mouth. Koreans are famous for making interesting food combinations and Heisu is no exception.


The end.

A FEW OF TODAY's PHOTOS



Don't know how we managed to get this but it's very interesting!
Sammi today at 152 days old.
Heisu on her new bike. It's a bit more grown up than her old one, which Sammi is set to inherit. An older photo of Heisu on her old bike is below. Heisu's Nan and Pop sent over her first bike. Photos of them are coming soon!

This bike came free, believe it or not, with nappies. And it was made in China. It seems to be safe enough in spite of all that. It has pedals as well as a thingummy which a big person can use to push it from behind. She can't pedal it herself yet so I have to push it. We went for a huge burl about the town in it today. She really loved it and she said to me "I like bicycle!"

That's me behind her without the head. And this is our street.

And here she is on her old bike!
The two sisters! If you click on these photers, hopefully you'll get a nice big clear image.
Sammi on her front. We put her there...she doesn't roll over yet. She's more interested in punching things with her fist, and putting her legs up vertically into the air. We reckon she's actually trying to sit up when she does that. She loves sitting up and watching what's going on around her. It makes her quiet during a bawling session, 'n' all.

NOTE: while we were in the process of editing and rewriting this entry we received this comment from this mysterious fellow, starbender:
"Your photo's are adorable.:)"
thankyou indeed! (it's our first comment ever!) Have a look at some of her/his sites here:
