Fiend Ball 2007

A night out for Mom and Dad.

All smiles!

Pre-gaming before the Fiend Ball.

Our Camera is on Fire

Resting up for her nightly fuss fest

Daddy's home!

Oops...I'm pretty sure I just crapped my pants

Better enjoy this fleeting smile...I'll be crying later

Relaxing Weekend

Hanging out with Mommy
The famous Korean Jinko Tree. Supposedly this thing was planted in 1280 AD...right on the 5th hole. The machine gun pillbox was added in the 1950's. Out for 9 holes. Caroline's first introduction to golf.
Back after a long day, relaxing in the swing. Thanks, Freeborns!

Sweet Baby

We're sure the Grandparents will LOVE this one!

The New Head of the House

The days of seeing all Kari and Rob on here are over...here's who everyone is looking for.

Caroline's first bath. As you can see, she's very excited.

Hanging out in the baby papasan.

St Patty's Day. She went as a leprechaun.

With Daddy before the baptism.
No longer a heathen!

Our precious baby girl

Rob and Caroline taking one of many naps.
Robs parents and the baby....Pah Pah has a good sleepy effect on her.
Are we really parents???? Scary!
Caroline and Jiji snuggled up on the couch.

She's Here

March 11, 2007, 7 lbs. 3 oz., 20 5/8 in. Kari and Caroline are doing well.

Right out of the oven

Trying to figure out who this guy is.

Mimi and Pah-Pah's first visit

Janet's first grandchild

The last time this kid has slept the past 3 days.

Family Visit to Korea

I swear this is the last picture I am posting of me pregnant. At 40 weeks and 4 days, I am ready to get this baby out!
Robs Dad, my mom and Robs sister at a great Sushi place in Seoul.
Rob and I and his Momma all ready to eat.
Christy making us a home cooked meal and me stuffing my face in front of my favorite place....the fridge.
Everyone crammed in our little place but having fun waiting for Caroline to make her grand entrance.

More Mardi Gras

There were just too many good pictures from the party. Here are some more.

Tom doing an impression of...actually I have no idea what he's doing.

Ben and Rob with Al. Note Al's perfectly styled hair.

Mandatory Yakki after a night of binge drinking.

Syrup really settles the stomach after beer, liquor and Yakki.

The original Ambiguously Gay Duo.

Mardi Gras Baby Shower

Here we are before the shower/party. Kari's still going strong at 38 weeks. The night was a blast. Thanks to everyone who put it together.

Things deteriorated rapidly.

Mike Driscoll (complete with cheesy mustache), Tom (complete with teef and Won) and Rob (complete with stupid fruity drink Mike bought him)
Tom's teeth draw ALL the ladies. Kari's mom even got up the nerve to dance with that freak.
Even Al made it to the party. Here he is with Travis...
Seriously, this guy is going to be father soon.

Kari at 36 weeks/ The end is near......

Here I am at the start of 9 months. Hopefully only one more month or possibly less if she cooperates. Definitely looking pregnant now but I am still feeling really good and I don't feel too whalish. All is well here and busy getting the nursery and last minute things together.

New Year in Korea

We celebrated New Years this time with a fairly low key poker tournament. Kate Crofton shocked us all and took home the championship, but we all know she cheated.

2 of the better poker faces.

Ben loses yet another big hand. What did he have you ask? All black.

One of the featured tables.

The Kawans enjoying a free minute (and a beer) with little Michael.

Our newest invention...Korean roulette - not quite as dangerous as Russian roulette. You'd be surprised how entertaining this game can actually be.

Christmas in Korea

Christmas morning in Korea...no mantle for our stockings, but we make do.

















Kari at 30 weeks.



















Our little Christmas tree along with the loot Santa left us. We don't have a chimney and our door was locked...how'd he get in here?















We were going to wrap up the cat and send her to mom, but figured that might be a bad idea.
