tk & yk in la

Somehow I resisted the urge to stay in Australia and dragged myself onto my return flights back to the states from Perth (4 hours + 12 hours via Sydney). Leaving Australia was hard; in many ways it really felt like home. However, I was really starting to miss my family and could not wait to meet my new nephew, Elliot, for the first time.

As soon as I landed at LAX, the bonding began. Here is a photo of Elliot Taekyoon (hence, the moniker TK), who was born on March 13. I am extremely jealous of his perfectly formed eye-folds.


Look at the cuteness in action!



Just as cute and with just as much hair, is Elliot's older brother Drew Youngkyoon ("YK"), who is now 2 years and 8 months old. Like many two-year olds, Drew is obsessed with Thomas the Train. He also has a strong preference for the classic animated Disney movies, e.g., Lady and the Tramp, Dumbo, over the more recent computer-animated films.


TK and YK are just too cute for words. Many more photos to come!
