beniah's 1st dip in the ocean was in the sea of japan. and he loved every second of it.
beniah's first spanish word was "aqua" and its one of his favorite things. he loves playing with water in any situation so seeing the ocean was truly exciting. he looked out across the horizon and said "biiiigg aquuuaa". it was so precious and made me wish i could remember the first time i saw the ocean.
while we were in korea we visited the ocean several times. it is a peninsula, so its surrounded by water on three sides (and north korea on one side). it was fun to see all the different kinds of beaches. we were fortunate enough to visit an island to the south of korea called che ju. this island was created from a volcanic explosion so while there are a couple of sandy beaches, there is a TON of volcanic rock and the shoreline is mostly rocks. here my mom traps a crab to show beniah.
the lions den was established to keep people posted on major events happening in our life and to keep a family history, an online scrap book of sorts. we understand our shortcomings in keeping up with family and friends across the country, so this is our attempt to put the ball in your court. the inspiration for the lions den came from our kids beniah and haneul, we want to be able to share their exciting developments with people who want to know. enjoy.

the wedding
last month my dad got married and lots of family came into town. it was a great opportunity for some to meet b for the first time and to hang out with him. it still puzzles me how some people he warms up to right away (like my grandma and aunt diane) and others he prefers not to entertain.
in any event, beniah was supposed to be the ring bearer (which i knew wasn't going to turn out well), but he was so frightened he wouldn't let go of jojo, our babysitter and self proclaimed older brother of b. so jojo and b walked down together~actually pretty funny to watch. and then right in the middle of the service while i was holding him, beniah bent down, picked up a tortilla chip, and then "CRUNCH".
he certainly keeps life interesting. he came alive during the dancing, since beniah can't resist a good beat. he here is with his entourage trying to get him to do the twist. still makes me giggle to see his little body try to twist from side to side.
