On January 7th my oldest son and his wife had their first baby, a girl, born in Seoul.
She weighed 7 pounds.
Mother and baby Crystal are healthy and will return home from hospital around January 14th.
My wife Eunja and I are grandparents for the very first time.
Passing out virtual chocolate cigars to one and all.

Congratulations! I will share in the chocolate cigars and in your joy! Crystal is a beautiful name. Just as she blesses you with her arrival, you and your wife will bless her with your loving presence in hers.

Welcome to an exciting stage of your journey. If I'd known the joy that grandkids could bring I would have had them first!

Warmest congrats! Being a grandparent really IS a "grand" thing, and much easier than the "parent" part. Enjoy...

Thank you so much for all your kind words everyone.
My wife is planning a trip home to Korea in April (I will be too busy in school to go with).
chemgal -- In Korean, grandfather is "halahpuhjee" and grandmother is "halmuhnee".
It is all very exciting. Six years ago I was single, had never had a girlfriend, and doubted that I would ever be married. Now I am a husband, father, and grandfather. Life is good.
Rich blessings.

Glad to hear of the safe arrival. Your wife must be excitedly awaiting her April departure date for a visit & cuddle with that new grandchild.

Thanks again everyone.
My wife sure is excited about going home to Korea in April to cuddle, kiss, and play.
She's very good at all that stuff actually.
I will miss her.
Rich blessings.
