 | • VIDEO: Kai turns 3 (4:28, English-subtitled) |
비디오에 나오는 생일파티는 휴일이었던 지난 Columbus Day에 미리 앞당겨서 한 것입니다. 여러 꼬마손님들이 놀기엔 집이 비좁아서 저희가 사는 콘도(한국의 '아파트'를 미국에선 이렇게 부릅니다.) 단지 내의 community room을 빌렸는데, 덕분에 아이들이 신나게 뛰어놀 수 있었습니다. 초대받은 손님들은 예전에 근처 한인교회의 '엄마랑나랑' 프로그램을 카이와 함께 다니던 친구들. 준형과 보연은 아침부터 테이블과 의자 세팅을 하고, 미리 준비해놓은 생일파티 장식을 벽에 붙이고, 풍선을 불어서 띄우고, 안내표지를 설치하고, 주문한 케익과 음식을 찾아오고, 집에서 국과 밥과 커피메이커를 날라오고, 아이들 놀거리를 마련하고... 정신없는 시간을 보낸 끝에, 성공적으로 잔치를 마쳤습니다. 무엇보다 제게 인상적이었던 것은, 두 살 생일 때에는 촛불을 부는 시늉만 했던 카이가 이번에는 촛불 세 개를 후- 불어서 금방 다 껐다는 것. 1년 동안 참 많이 컸습니다.
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.

집이 별로 안좁아 보이던데, 왜 좁다고 할까? 했더니,
저렇게나 많은 손님이 왔으니 당연하네요. ㅋㅋ
뛰어다니는 테이트도 느무 귀엽고.
여기 저기 엄마, 아빠의 정성과 사랑이 마구 담겨 있네요.

우와- 축하합니다.
삐삐가 딸인지 아들인지 아시게 되면 알려주세요.
(근데 한국에서는 그거 미리 알려주지 않는다던데...
그러면 내년 4월까지 기다려봐야 아는건가?)
