Teaching Again





Julie and I have been blessed to be able to teach English to Korean college students from Daejeon. We have loved being a small part of their community and remembering all the cultural differences that we find fascinating, funny and a bit strange. Grandmas Brownlee and Carson have taken turns babysitting while we trek 20 miles south to teach.

We also took Micah to a beach in the Tacoma area and tried to introduce him to Puget Sound. He kept his eyes on the water the entire time just in case a Tsunami hit.
When we edged him toward the water, he would only allow one foot to enter. The other foot was in the Karate Kid Crane position to avoid getting it wet.
A toddler nearby aparently noticed Micah's fears and in an effort to make him feel comfortable gave Micah a huge hug and kiss. As you can see from the pictures, I don't think it did much good.

hey guys! glad you're using those korean skills you picked up here. looks like micah needs to learn the "wax on wax off" move from ralph macchio. glad to see the M's are still in contention. the Twins need a new game plan that includes offensive production.
later.
