thank you ladies for the nice comments!!

a korean tradition during the new year is to bow to our elders. it's called "seh beh" & when you bow (it's a very deep bow where your forehead reaches the floor), the elders give you money & words of wisdom for the new year.

emme participated in seh-beh today at church & had a total of $50 in her purse.

we were practicing our bows at home yesterday.

i hope i get better soon....being sick is so draining.

many blessings everyone!

emme & my parents.
