Dear All,
Noah has started to support his neck better and better theses days, and soon enough he'll be crawlin' 'round the apartment. He loves for us to carry him around the house while we hold him, and I've developed a new game of "touch the nose" with him, which he really likes.
Jinny and I are wantin' to go camping outside of Seoul, and are trying to do more of that... Searching for that perfect camping place, free of other people, is a challenge in a nation the same size of Oregon with a population of 50 million (Oregon has only 3.5 million). Also, I'm reducing my activities at my Buddhist temple to devote more time to enjoying life more... This summer my goal is learn more Korean and deepen my studies of Nonviolent Communication (NVC - see www.cnvc.org and www.krnvc.org). I am working toward becoming a Certified Trainer. Also under consideration, is returning to school for my PhD in Education, from a colleague of Alfie Kohn (Google "Alfie Kohn" to get a sense for my direction).
That's it for now... I'm really excited about taking more time with family..., and not having to sacrifice the money aspect to do it. Yippee!
That's all for now...

Noah Was Born
Well, better late than never, so they say. Here's our blog full of photos of our family and the ups and downs we go through in daily life - we'll, actually, mostly the happy moment when we felt like taking a picture. I'd consider us very lucky and happy to be in the situation we are in, and to have so much love and warmth among us all.
Noah was born on April 7th, at 2:13PM, 2008. We had a professional astrologer do his chart shortly after he was born. Looks like he'll make a GREAT professor one day, apparently. See next post for astrology reading... (fun!).
Jinny was in the hospital for a week after the birth, and then went home to her mother's home, as is tradition in Korea. She stayed there for nearly six weeks, leaving poor old Greg at the other home to fend for himself. It was a bit tough on him, but he managed somehow. He visited Jinny and Noah as much as he could considering his other commitments of work.
Finally, Jinny came back to her home with Greg not long ago, and Greg felt much better. Jinny is a full-time Mommie, while Greg works much less than most men like him, and has time to hold Noah and be an active part of his life, though he's not so active yet (aka he can't walk yet, and is just beginning to get some control over his neck - though he can kick and partially stand on Greg's tummy).
