February 2011
February started off with Sollal. This a time to honor ancestors through ceremonies of offering, which Sammy participated in for the first time this year by pouring soju (Korean liquor) for the offering. He also dressed up in his hanbok (traditional outfit) and, of course, ate and played with family.
Sammy and I went to a play called "Guess how much I love you" with his friend and the friend's dad. It was a good play and good company. It's always nice to find someone who not only has kids the same age, but speaks English as well :-)
You have probably seen many hiking pictures already. Sammy and I hit the mountain a couple times in February, though it was quite cold. He has gotten much better at it. We even made it for the first peak near our home. It took a little pulling from Dad, but we finally made it. It was really windy at the top, though, so he wouldn't pose for a picture. He just croutched at my feet. I'm glad to be able to do more active things with him.

Sammy loves going to the English library near our home. Lots of books there to check out.
Grandma and Grandpa Kim let him practice drawing some Chinese characters. He did a pretty good job of it too!
Dad made a chocolate fondue for dessert one night. It was a big hit.
All that work it tiring.
