Brian's Saturday Bike Ride

Brian frequently rides his bike on the weekends. Today, he and Hoff rode around town. It looks like it is a starting to cool off a bit in Korea.

Along the bike ride, Brian stopped to take a photo at a local public park.

Baby Showers, Baby Showers, Baby Showers!

Thanks to the love and generosity of dear friends and family, Baby E should have just about everything she needs! Unfortunately, I didn't take photos at the first two showers, but I was able to get some photos from my mom's camera. Below are some of the photos from showers celebrating Baby E's upcoming arrival:

Liz's Wedding

After dating for 9 (yes, 9 years), my dear friend Liz and her now husband Chris finally decided to tie the knot! I got a lot of comments at the reception about being pregnant, especially from the people working the wedding. I had one lady tell me that she and her husband were placing bets on whether I would go into labor at the reception! Here are some photos from both the wedding and a bridal luncheon:

AF Ball (Seoul)

Brian has made two good buddies in his dorm. The three of them take turns cooking dinner for each other and generally spend a lot of time together. These three decided to take a weekend trip up to Seoul for the AF Ball a couple weeks ago, and here are some photos from the weekend:
