MR. ATTITUDE

Yeah, sometimes Ethan just gives us the look like, "What are you looking at?" We deal with it.

WHY WON'T THIS THING OPEN

Ethan's gotten in the habit of opening drawers. Sometimes, though, he doesn't realize he's working agaist himself. He could not, for the life of him, figure out why this drawer wouldn't open with his other hand on it.

SPIDERMAN

So no, Ethan can't walk on his own yet, but he can Spiderman, hanging from one piece of furniture to the other. Here, he's moving from the sofa to a table and along the table.

UP CLOSE

Ethan likes a close up every now and then. Mommy got a good shot of his baby blues.

ETHAN WITH KITTY

Ethan likes playing with the cat, and she's getting more used to him. She'll play with the little human and tolerate him grabbing her hair.

LONG WEEK

JR was told last Wednesday he was going to the field Saturday. He was gone until Friday. During that time, Ethan broke through his top two front teeth and got conjuctivitis and Tara got about 12 hours of sleep (total). It was a long week, but mom and baby are both recovering now over the long weekend.

FINAL SHOTS AT GYEONGJU

Here are some parting shots of Gyeongju. The hills are actually burial monuments to great leaders of the time and their families. They had one open, where Tara and So Young posed in front of. The last picture is of our Korean family sponsors. The first picture has part of the family, JR and Ethan and one students.

SEEING GYEONGJU

Here, you see a few Korean features. One is a traditioal style house, with the intricate roofing. Then, you see the traditional Korean war bell. The third is a structure which is actually featured on a 10 WON coin. Then, two of our Korean students and our other American sponsor, SFC Beddinghouse (George) pose with a statue.

NEW FRIENDS

Ethan got some new friends in the friendship circle, too. They loved his chubby cheeks! He liked them so much, he didn't want to nap, which made for a long day.

LUNCH WITH THE FRIENDSHIP CIRCLE

JR and Tara are participating in a Korean-American Friendship Circle, where one Korean sponsor, one American sponsor (family/friends), and six Korean students from a local university participate in activities together. Here, the Korean sponsor took everyone to Gyeongju, a historical region, where they sat us down and let us partake in a traditional meal. In the last shot, JR is lectured by one of the students about how warning is necessary before taking pictures. He didn't listen.
