Instilling Korean culture where I can

This past Saturday, Dec 14, 2013 was the last day of Korean School (fall semester) and as the case every semester, the children put on a cultural performance.  I don't speak Korean unless I have to and the girls laugh at me when I read them Korean story books.  Yet I am very proud of my Korean heritage and am grateful there are institutions like Korean school where Lauren and Elizabeth get exposure to their culture. 

My Elizabeth was part of a traditional dance.  At the very last second, her male partner got stage fright, started to cry and left my Ebi hanging!  (This is terrible but I just have to write what I feel about him...what a wouss!!!)  In true tough-Elizabeth fashion, she remained on stage and completed her routine as best as possible (though you couldn't tell from this clip!)  I am so proud of her!

My Lauren performed a traditional fan dance.  It was so beautiful.  My mom rushed from her house when I told her the performance would be earlier than she thought.  She not only made it on time, but came early enough to tie Lauren's hom-bok to her standards.  Here is a clip of Lauren's performance.

Grandma to the rescue - always.

Another semester come and gone.
