It’s a Boy!

On February 28, 2006 at 4:27am in Seoul South Korea after 2 strenuous hours of labour Calvin (Korean name not yet decided) was born. Calvin weighs in at a hefty 3.57kg 49cm with sparse light brown hair currently we haven’t been able to see his eyes well enough to determine their color.

Everyone,

Thank you for your congratulations. Mom and baby are at home and doing very well. Calvin sleeps a lot more than my daughter did at that age and we are very grateful for that. It has been a really busy week as it is also the first week of the semester and I had to arrange teachers to cover my classes.

right now I’m working on lesson plans for next week and figuring out what I would like to do different with my classes - was going to blog with advanced students but enrollment is low so that class may be cancelled.

I do have a great schedule which will allow me to be at home quite a bit and help my wife with the new baby - and hopefully take naps once midnight, 2am, 4am, and 6am feedings start to take their toll.

Don’t forget to tell us his Korean name when you decide. (and start now on thinking of names for the next few that’ll come along grin)

His Korean name is 재희 (Jae Hee - for the non-korean readers). I’m pretty sure there won’t be any more kids, but hey you never know.
