• Lunar New Years!

  This was my 5th Lunar New Years (also known as Chinese New Years) with my kids.  Its perhaps the biggest holiday in Korea.  We all dress up in traditional Korean attire, have a good meal, and have a traditional bowing (in respect) ceremony to Pastor Chae and his wife (the Dad and Mom of the home), and receive a small money gift.  Its a fun time!  Enjoy the pictures...

  Before the festivities... with the 4th high school graduate, Eun Ho... another classic hairstyle
