Let it snow!

It snowed! Just in time for my birthday too. Actually it snowed on the 27th while we were eating lunch at my new favorite Indian food restaurant. It was fabulous! There was a couple of inches, so we got to go up to the 35th floor of my mom's Trump Tower apartment building to play in the fresh snow! The view would have been great, had it not been so foggy.

We got some cute pics in the snow with Grandma, but alas, Reina has since decided she does NOT like the cold. On my birthday she practically threw a fit when we tried to go out (right about the time we put on her "winter" coat). Fortunately she was in a better mood today and we got to a pretty cool area called Insadong - the monk area. We actually saw a couple of monks and the things they were selling, but that was the monkiest it got! We really like Seoul. It is very international and we like that you can walk and/or take the subway anywhere! So convenient.

Lastly, Grandma took some great pictures with her digital SLR - I like it! We also snapped a shot of "the last bath," as we head home for Okinawa early tomorrow morning. We had a great Christmas and visit. Reina received so many toys from Grandma that we will be mailing home 3 boxes! Reina also got early Xmas gifts from Grandpa Eastman and Grandaddy Bearden. Thank you everyone.

Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas

We arrived in Seoul with a tired, but happy baby on Wednesday and made the drive to Mom's apartment in downtown Seoul. Since, we've had two international meals, Greek and Korean, and had a very merry Christmas, where Reina was thoroughly spoiled with many, many gifts. Unfortunately Reina had a bit of a fever Christmas eve, but she had more or less recovered by Christmas day. After three nights of rough sleep (more for Chris and I than any one else), we finally had a good night of sleep last night. We have my birthday celebration on the 28th, and then we'll fly back home on the 30th. Of course we've taken many pictures, so here are a few I wanted to share.

Brrr

We haven't even made it to Korea yet and we're already cold. It has been in the 50s here....BRRRRR. I put Reina in about everything she's got and darn was she cute! Hopefully a warmer hat and some mittens will be adequate for Korea (yikes!).

We also put together our bike seat for her. It was fun to have her along on the bike, and despite freezing hands I think she enjoyed herself. We rode to a park (hence the "hammock" swing that she loved) and then I got a cute pic of her afterwards still bundled up with crazy hat hair! Gosh I love that girl....although she woke up THREE times last night, so maybe its a love hate thing!
