*unexpected*


{when our friend, Mary Lou went to Korea in November, she not only brought us back the most precious gift any waiting parent could ask for (a video of our sweet son) but she also gave us these two stuffed bears with traditional Korean hanboks. she had bought them after visiting with Oliver and was so touched by him that she wanted him to have something special from her trip to Korea.}
{she also gave us the rest of her won (Korean money). b and i decided that we would put it away until he was old enough to understand what it was. we decided to use this new owl tin that we both picked out when b got a new watch (one of his Christmas presents). as i was looking through the won, i spotted a couple coins that i were pretty significant in our life...}
{such sweet unexpected gifts...}
