Korean Naming Ceremony...at Chili's

Today we received and accepted our son's (did I tell you it was going to be a boy?) Korean and middle name from my father at Chili's. It wasn't a formal affair but just as touching as one would be. My father worked on the name (soon to be unveiled with English name) last night, researching the Chinese characters and sounds that would make up his name. The process is very complicated and I'm not sure how he does it. But voila, we now have his name and we like it very much.

We ended up at Chili's after church services. Why Chili's? Our family has a love/hate relationship with Chili's.

The love:
- it's a kid friendly restaurant that our 4 year old loves
- it's close by so when we're all achieving record hypoglycemic lows at the same time around 7 p.m. during the week because mom hasn't made dinner, we know we can get in and eat in about 15 minutes
- it's all about the fries and non-stop soda refills

The hate:
- grease
- grease
- oh and grease

So there you have it...we'll be announcing the wee one's name by Thursday when my c-section is scheduled. During my recovery, I'm trying to get Mike to guest blog but we'll see about that.

Peace!
