Learning to Play

Little Micah is just learning to play. Although his skills are not quite honed yet, Grandma Brownlee swears he is taking swings at the animals constantly hanging above his face. I am not sure where this agression comes from, as Julie and I are pacifists, but if it leads to some sort of sporting contract, it is justified. Perhaps he is just preparing for his hunting days with Grandpa Deke.
Hope you enjoy the picture!

Julie makes an Appearance

It has been revealed to this author, that perhaps his bias in choosing pictures that adequately represent his son, may have caused his wife to be unjustly absent from said photos. I would like to address this claim by saying that the complainant must not now her friend very well, as Julie's hands and forearms have appeared in more than a few pictures.
That being said, I am not here to ruffle any feathers and so true to my nature, I acquiesce to your request to see more of the lovely Julie (trust me, I would love to see more of the lovely Julie). Here are the photographs you so politely yearned for.

Grandparents Descend on Daejeon

The Grandparents (Brownlee and Carson) have come to Daejeon to admire all that we created. Brownlee's arrived on Sunday and immediately requested an audience with Micah. Being his social director, Julie first had to be consulted and she allowed the visit under her watchful eye.
The boy is gaining weight (as all royalty should) due to the awesome milk producing power of Julie's mammary glands. He is taking it all in and bellowing for more on an almost hourly basis. Patience is holding fast however and I know that Julie will not be broken.
Hope you can see the difference in Micah circa last week and current Micah. We certainly can (Chub Chub).
Julie is still at home for the next 4 weeks, so please call her!!

Miss you guys during this time.

Jim and Julie

Bath and Baseball

In honor of Micah's first viewing of an annual event, the baseball playoffs, we gave him a bath and dressed him in his first baseball outfit. Knowing my proclivity for America's pastime, many gave us baseball outfits to dress him in. This is just the first of many.
You will notice that he is not dressed in Yankee pinstripes. He has his daddy's disdain for all that is from New York. He has confided in me that he too is happy to see A-rod struggling at the plate, but admits that an offseason trade to the Mariners would not be to dissappointing to him.

Week 1

Week 1 is coming to a close and life has changed dramatically. Micah is working into a great routine of sleeping and eating (He usually feeds every 2-3 hours). Of course the inbetween times are filled with diaper changes, baths, snugling etc...
Julie is still quite sore, but got out for her first walk yesterday.
The Korean people generally keep their babies indoors for 100 days, so any baby the size of Micah is rare to see. As a result we got many smiles yesterday as we took a walk around the neiborhood.
The meals provided by our friends at TCIS have been fantastic and have provided us with some built in visitors too. We are also passing the time by watching Survivor Exile Island (Spring 2006). I can't wait to find out who wins.
Enjoy the new pictures and let us know wheter you think Micah has changed.
