Tate가 아무 것도 붙잡지 않고 일어서서 걸음을 떼기 시작한 건 벌써 한참 되었습니다만, 이제는 정말 '걷는다'는 표현이 전혀 부족함이 없을 만큼 잘 걷습니다. 아직은 손을 휘저으며 뒤뚱뒤뚱... 그 모습이 마치 찰리 채플린 같기도 하고, 펭귄 같기도 하지만, 어떨 때는 거실에서 방까지, 그리고 다시 방에서 거실까지 넘어지지 않고 걷기도 합니다. 어젯밤에는 Kai가 집안 이곳저곳을 뛰어다녔는데, 테이트는 자꾸만 넘어지면서도 지칠줄 모르고 다시 일어서서 형을 쫓아다녔습니다. 끈질긴 녀석입니다.지난 일요일에는 종완이 고모네와 함께 Brooklyn Botanical Garden에 갔었는데, 이 날은 테이트가 태어나서 처음으로 야외에서 신발을 신고 걸은 역사적인 날이었습니다. 카이 형아가 신던 신발을 물려받은 테이트는 처음 신은 신발이 어색해서인지, 푹신한 잔디 위에서 걷기가 어려워서인지, 집에서처럼 잘 걷지는 못했습니다.
걸을 수 있다는 건, 이제는 집 밖에서도 더 이상 유모차에 묶인 모습이나 누군가에게 안겨 있는 모습이 아닌, 테이트 혼자만 등장하는 사진을 찍을 수 있다는 걸 의미하기도 합니다. 어리둥절해 하는 테이트에게 신발을 신겨서 세워놓고, 신이 난 June은 파아란 잔디를 배경으로 셔터를 눌러댔습니다.
그 날 찍은 사진을 비롯해서, 5월에 찍은 사진들을 정리해서 올렸습니다.
June designs in New York City. His graphic design works have received lots of awards and been showcased in publications and exhibitions in the U.S., Europe and Asia.
In his earlier days in Seoul, he used to be a medical student, played a cello in an orchestra and participated in protests against dictatorship.
June likes iced coffee, black jack, typography, democracy, TV series Lost and Puccini’s operas and
he also enjoys traveling to the places he's never been to.
June believes he is agnostic and it is the most humble and rational way about religion.
He hopes the world to be the place where people can live more peacefully as well as less unjustly than now. And he lives with his wife and two sons.
Boyeon was born and grew up in Seoul and now lives by the Hudson river in New Jersey with her husband and two sons.
She studied computer programming as well as programming-based design and used to work as a programmer.
However, she is so busy these days in taking care of two boys that she cannot find enough time to even open her e-mails everyday.
Boyeon likes ice creams, Korean rice cakes, Klimt’s oil paintings and Michael Mann’s 1995 film Heat and
she also enjoys traveling culturally-distinctive places like southern Europe.
Boyeon is a perfectionist and has amazingly good memory. She easily shed tears, has an acute sense of taste and is a good cook.
Kai was born on October 19th, 2006 in New Jersey as Boyeon and June’s first son and it was 20 years after his parents first met in their junior high.
Now he is Tate's big brother.
His blood type is RH A+, his horoscope is libra and his zodiac is dog.
Kai is a Hawaiian origin word that means ‘ocean’ and also has a meaning of ‘willow tree’ in native American language.
His middle name is Haon, which has a concept of “True happiness can be found in small things of everyday life.”
It includes June and Boyeon’s wish for him to be a happy person who can find joy and meaningfulness even from small things around him.
These days Kai goes to a preschool and sometimes surprises Mom and Dad by saying very difficult words.
Kai turns three in this fall.
Tate was born on June 2nd, 2008 in New Jersey as Boyeon and June's second son as well as Kai's brother.
His horoscope is Gemini and his zodiac is rat, and his blood type is RH A+, which is what all of his family have.
The word Tate means ‘cheerful’ and has an old English origin.
His middle name is from a Korean pronunciation of a Chinese character 濬, which has a meaning of profound; to make a waterway by digging a river deep.
Tate’s name includes his parents’ wish for him to be a happy, cheerful person who also has depth in his life.
Now He walks well and tries everything his brother does. He doesn't get scared of new things.
Tate is in the second year of his life.
