Deep Down

Here's some more car singing

Kung Fu Fighting

This one is a bit embarrassing on my part. This is us doing a rendition of a song from Kung Fu Panda.

Silent Night

This isn't the church production. I still need to get that. But here's another version of Silent Night

Light Saber Training

I showed Joseph some videos of light sabers in action and he's taken them deeply to heart. :)

Auntie Robyn's Gift

He liked Auntie Robyn's gift!

He Likes It!

He's such a fun kid to watch open gifts.

Joseph's Favorite Christmas Gift

There were a lot of Christmas gifts he loved, but this one has gotten the most wear thus far. He's taken it everywhere and defeated countless imaginary opponents (in addition to his mommy, daddy and others:) I'm astounded he hasn't worn out the batteries already! I'll post some actual fighting videos later.

Opening our Christmas Box

Joseph was so excited about opening this. The highlight (at least initially) was getting his helmet. He's already taken me out in the freezing cold to try it out!

Joseph the Composer

Joseph tries his hand at composing a song.
In the middle of the song he actually put some words,
"Follow me, why? Because....we go..."

Joseph and the Fish

In the first video Joseph keeps asking, "It won't bite me?" and Ami is saying, "Just grab it strongly" Our mighty brave fisherman vanquishes it in the end though!

Psalm 23

You'll have to trust me, this is Joseph doing Psalm 23 in Korean (with some help from Ami:)

What Time Is It Mista Wolf?

This is one of Joseph's favourite games. We were playing it in the airport during our layover in Japan.

Arirang

This is our sister-in-law as she does traditional Korean singing at the local senior's community centre. "Arirang" is the most famous traditional Korean song in the world. I think she's pretty talented!

Resurrecting Superman

Joseph and Grandma were having some fun with Batman and Superman this summer!

Joseph Surprises Daddy

Baseball is far and away Joseph's best sport right now. He packs a decent amount of power into those hits, which is not always a good thing for Daddy!

Our church is right beside the largest city cemetery in our area. Thousands of people come by the church to bring sacrifices for their ancestors on New Years and Choo Sok. Our church's tradition is to serve them coffee. Joseph did a great job handing out the cups. We got rid of hundreds of them in an hour!

First Christmas Eve and Christmas

Christmas is a little different in Korea than in Canada. The malls are packed and we ended up taking Joseph to one of those ball rooms. He absolutely loved it and didn't want to leave. He had lots of other fun things to do, including being superman. One of the many presents he got was a blue umbrella he greatly coveted and by coincidence I got a book referring to the same thing! One Christmas Eve, we had my friend Klaus and his family over for our annual late snack food meal In the bottom picture you can see me being Santa. I didn't get much warning that that was a role expected of me, but I guess I should have considered it, given I was the only white guy!

Joseph the Sailor

I'm not sure why Joseph the sailor has a fan, but he had a lot of fun with this recently!

Random Slices of Life in Korea

1.) Klaus' little girls have taken a shine to me.
2.) One of the few ways we could take a picture of Joseph in a suit.
3.) Friends David and Klaus with a table full of kids
4.) Chris as the mother duck on the way to children's ministry
5.) Chris getting the dead skin eaten off his feet by fish. Man, did that tickle!
