SEAWEED SOUP (mee-ook gook)





MeeOok Gook, more MeeOok Gook, and then some more MeeOok Gook. This is the ultimate, superlative reward for undergoing pains incomprehensible to even the world's strongest man (Zydrunas Savickas of Lithuania). Hours and hours of pain upon pain turns into an endless bowl of meeook gook.

This is all the OH household will be eating for a while.

Grace was yet again extraordinary in delivering our second child...Grant TaeMin Oh. What seemed like the most casual labor and delivery, ended in the birth of our 7 lbs 5.5 oz and 19 3/4" tall bundle of baby joy.

Watching the birth of your child is probably the most amazing phenomenon any man can have the privilege of witnessing (makes you wonder what God feels like). The nine month process of development and growth culminating into an instant of absolute perfection. I have been blessed with the luxury of that pleasure twice now, and I must say it doesn't get old. I thank God with every fiber of my being.





While I sit there staring, wondering who he looks like, hoping he doesn't have my eyes (the ones that are too close together) or my dad's monstrous forehead, I catch Grant in a peaceful slumber that can bring you to your knees. How can such an innocent little thing be born a sinner? But then again...I retract that statement. I forgot about the crying, fidgeting, pooping, whining, fussing, kicking, screaming, and loss of sleep at night moments. Nevertheless, they are absolutely unspoiled, flawless, and out right pure.

Grace and I are unbelievably grateful for Grant in our lives. The fact that he is perfectly healthy thus far (especially the kidneys) is simply icing on the cake. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

Roman is getting along with his brother just fine. He has his moments, but how can you get mad at the little guy when he does stuff like this. As a new family of four, I'm sure the road ahead of us in nothing but bumpy, but we will be grateful for every obstacle He challenges us with.

Thank you all for you support and God Bless.
