It's a good day!

Charlie's first smile on Christmas Day - exactly one month old.

He and Lillie are already best pals.

Merry Christmas!

A gift from our neighbors - Christmas Cake! Yum!

Home.

We spent a week in the Korean hospital (standard after a c-section) so we're super happy to be home together as a new family of four.

Getting big!

Such a handsome face!

That's his left elbow up next to his face.

Road Trip! - Danyang Aqua World

As we headed for home, we found this spa/resort in the mountains and decided to stop for a couple days!  That's what I love about our vacations - we stumble upon places like this!

 

The view from our hotel room:

 

In the basement of the hotel (which was pretty posh, by the way) was an indoor waterpark/spa called Aqua World.  As with most Korean water facilities, swim caps are required.  So cute!

Totally worth looking like a goon.

The hot tubs had colorful water and different herbal infusions.

 

Since it's only a few hours from home, I'm sure we'll be back again soon!  Yay for vacation!

Road Trip! - East Coast

The drive north of Busan was beautiful!  It was rainy, pre-typhoon weather, but the mountains were still gorgeous!  We made several stops along the way...

 

We're constantly surprised by Korea's beauty!

Road Trip! - Busan

We recently took a much-needed vacation around South Korea.  We only had a few days, so we decided to roadtrip around the perimeter of the peninsula.

 

We spent a night in Busan, which is South Korea's second largest city (after Seoul, of course).  Busan, also called Pusan, is on the southeast of the peninsula and has some pretty beachfront areas.
