Mom's Here!

We picked Mom up from the airport last night. We were concerned that the family might've been affected by the recent typhoon in the Philippines. Our family in Pampanga seems to be doing okay. Our prayers go out to those that have suffered through this typhoon. Looks like another one is on its way.

We're ready to show Mom Korea. Things got off to a rocky start though. CJ's not feeling so hot and actually threw up last night. Cleaning vomit late at night never gets old. I'm reminded again that Carol is an absolute Saint. I'm watching CJ sleep right now with a bucket next to him just in case. He's doing better.

In honor of Mom's visit, here are a couple of shots from over the years:

I think this was from 1973. Mom had her hands full while Dad was out at sea or away for training.

And then Lee enters the picture. Here we are hanging out at the Botanical Gardens in Norfolk, Virginia. Plaid was awesome in the 70's.

Ah, the joy of living in Navy Housing. Bell bottoms with patches - only I could make that look good.

Me, Mom and my Dorothy Hamill haircut.

CJ and Mom - 10 years ago.

Jake and Mom - 2 years ago.

So now we've got a full plate scheduled for Mom. Lots of sightseeing, good food and good company. It's Chusok here in Korea, one of the biggest holidays of the year. For Chusok, many people travel to spend time with their families, so it's very appropriate that Mom is here with us now. More pictures to come. Until next time -- C2
