Organic or Plastic?

To go organic or plastic, that is the question.

• Expensive :: 10,000 disposable diapers a week at 10,000 dollars a box equals 10,000 extra hours of work.




• Easy to follow instructions :: Strap on, strap off, then place in landfill. All in all, a fairly painless process compared to the organic alternative.




• Mother Earth :: The environment, on the other hand, takes a few blows to the sphincster on this one.

• Cheaper but still not free :: Looks like that overtime card will need to be punched-in after all.




• Wiping, rubbing and lathering :: These ones demand that we start a small cleaning company which may go public by year two.




• Painless on the environment :: By-product of feces and natural cotton fibres are a nice relief on the environmental sphincster.

After a great debate over watermelon juice and snack-a-roons, it looks like we are going to go with...well, both.

Organic at home and disposable on the road.

These are a couple of pics of the organic diapers we found on the wide web of the internet.

Shopping. Oh, the family shopping has begun.

I do believe the Munchkin shopping season has begun. Me Moms and me Little Sis' have been running around town grabbing this and snatching that; a shopping spree for the ages.

On behalf of the Little One, I say: "Thank you...and more thank yous."

I'm happy to see that we're not the only ones excited about this new arrival in our family.

Halmonie&Halabogie, Boram, Mom and Bill, Little Sis' n' Drew, Dad and Michelle...

Thank you all for being there for us.

Thanks for the Hand-Me Downs!

Today is Wednesday; a great day.

You see, Wednesday is hockey day.

Over the years, hockey in Korea has become a nice little break from the rigors of the workweek. Although these days, I'm following a rigid no-work program and enjoying every second of it; a small perk that comes with teaching 200 young adults how to ask for directions to the local movie theatre , bank and pharmacy.

Ahh, hockey; love love LOVE it.

Not to mention that we have a good bunch of people showing up and suiting up to play.

Last week, while I was chugging down a sip of blue power juice, Dave, a teammate of mine, turned to me and said: "I got a bunch of stuff from my little one we're not using anymore. You can have it if you want." "Want? Sounds absolutely superb." I quickly retorted (of course, being on a hockey bench, I cussed between words 3 and 4.)

So here following is a little video I made to say thank you to the Weber family for thinking of us and our little one brewing in the oven.

Thank you again.

See the difference? I can't see the difference. Can you see the difference?

Week 14 Vs. Week 25

First Presents

We've been shopping.

Or should I say, Moah's been shopping.

I remember once, when shopping was simple; when all I needed was a shiny steel wrench or an ol' school wooden hockey stick to take up hours of my browsing time. No more. Now it's tiny socks for tiny feet, colourful lights for scary monsters, and pumps to...to pump who knows what.

I nod my head, I shake my head

My job as a shopping helper/carrier seems to consist of very few but nonetheless important duties. Here following is a list of basic duties I found very useful when shopping for Chloé Nurie.

Duty 1: Find a cart and then find wife.
Duty 2: Remain in fairly close vicinity of possible purchases.
Duty 3, the most important of all shopping duties: Nod or shake head when asked questions like: "Do you like the color?" or "Is it cute?"
Note, it is not important if one nods in agreement or shakes in disagreement but, it is VERY important to do one OR the other. Never do both. This will only extend the excursion by a good 30 or so minutes.
Duty 4: Place item in cart and push cart to next item.

Simple, I guess. But I always have problems with the second one.

Week 22

Week 22

Our wise doctor-of-baby-making asked us to drop by for a visit this past week because she wanted to have a look at Munchkin's bones, organs and blood flow. Needless to say, we were more than happy to oblige; we'll grab at any chance to catch a glimpse of our little one flowing around her mother's stomach.

No sound on this one either...I think my video+sound videos are too large for blogger to handle.

The results are in and it sounds like Munchkin is developing quite nicely. Her little head is oval shaped which was interesting to our doctor as most Korean babies are born with a more rounded shaped head. Her body is well developed and her left foot was measured to be 4.23cm long. She's getting to be a big girl.
