Week 1 w/Jonathan
Here’s something that was in my drafts that I thought I should post just for historical purposes:
This past week went by very quick. It really seems like yesterday that Jonathan was brought into our lives. The kids have really taken to their baby brother and since he’s been home the kids always want to hold him. Of course they’re still their normal selves, always rowdy and getting into trouble constantly, but that’s what kids do.
I’ve been averaging about 5-7 hrs of sleep a night, and I think Kathy’s been about the same, albeit our schedules are a little different. I can usually sleep through out the night, but I’ll watch the kids while she takes her naps throughout the day. I wasn’t looking forward to going back to work and leaving my family behind, I definitely could have stayed home for another 3 months. It was nice to have the time off this past week but I had to go back to the grind today.
Jonathan’s so unbelievably cute, just like his brother and sister, albeit he’s his own person. He has similar traits to his siblings when they were newborns but he’s definitely an individual. I’m so proud of my family, and there have been days when I got very emotional this past week due to how happy I am with how my family turned out thus far.
I’ve not much more to say and it’s almost bed time so I’ll just leave it at that for now.
Goodnight everyone!
Jonathan’s 15 Minutes
UPDATE 2: OK, I’ve gotten an official ‘Yes’ that I can use their music in this film. I asked Marconi Union if I could use their music in my video and they replied to my email indicating they had to ask their publisher first and that I could use their music. I love this sort of music and I think it’s very fitting for these sorts of scenes. Thanks Marconi Union for letting me use your wonderful music. On a related note, I’ve never asked an artist if I could use their music, nor have I ever really used any musicians music in any of my videos accept for one or two of my vids, but that’s it. So I did this as an experiment to see how the process worked, and let me way it worked swimmingly! So without further adieu, here’s the video!!!
UPDATE: I just found out last night that this video I posted on youtube was brought down due to the music content I added to the video. I will repost the video without the music. It’s quite unfortunate too because it was a really nice, fitting song. I’ll have to get to this soon. Please come back often to checkup on the video.
I’m finally posting some footage of little Jonathan. It’s only about 3 minutes or so, but nonetheless I think everyone would appreciate seeing him no matter how long it is. I plan on putting more videos and pictures up of him and the rest of the family as time permits. You’ll see how much his sister wants to meet him and be there for him. The kids are so fascinated with their new baby brother and boy do they love him.
Hope you enjoy!
Damian’s and Jenna’s Presentations
The kids had their Christmas presentations last Friday, Dec 17th. I was fortunate to attend both of them. Unfortunately, Kathy was not able to make it due to obvious reasons. See the previous post if you’re not sure why. Damian’s show was in the morning around 9:30a during his normal school hours. I was able to leave with the footage, come home really quick to show Kathy on the TV and then go back to pick him up at 10:40a since their school let out at that point. After picking up Damian we went home to get the presents Kathy put together for the kids in Jenna’s class and then we left immediately to go and drop them off. Damian and I walked in as soon as we got there, dropped them off while the kids were singing together and we went back out to the van to wait for Jenna’s school to let out. In the interim Damian and I cleaned the inside of the van’s windows and Damian wiped the window ledges with the duster brush. After cleaning the van we went back in to get Jenna and left for the day.
Jenna’s presentation wasn’t until 6:00pm so we arrived and dropped Jenna off with her teacher then proceeded over to the … Damian and I waited for her to show up and you can see for yourself how she did! Anyway, on to the show. Hope you enjoy.
As you can see she was the loudest one in the group of singers whereas Damian was one of the quietest, but still doing a damn fine job! Man I love my kids! They’re so awesome and I’m so proud of them, even if they do get on my nerves from time to time. 
As you can see here, Damian was one of the most quite. I know he enjoyed himself, but as you can see he was looking all around the gym for his dad.
Jonathan Ahn Jin Harms
Everyone, I would like to welcome Jonathan Ahn Jin Harms into our world. He came as a sudden and welcome surprise on Monday night. As the story goes, Monday was an average day, for me at least. I worked a full day and then came home to the family. When I got home Kathy informed me that she thought she was having contractions based off of how she felt and what she read on the interwebs. 
She had a normal appointment Monday and so she decided she wanted to leave a little early so she could talk to the doctor about what she was experiencing. She had made dinner and said we could wait until she got home from her appointment so we could all eat together. Well some time went by, the kids and I were watching T.V. together and all of the sudden I got a call from Kathy saying, “Get to the hospital now, I’m delivering” or something like that. So I started getting all the stuff together Kathy had already prepared like her bag, the baby’s bag, the cameras and what not. I then got some snacks for the kids since we hadn’t eaten dinner yet and just as we were getting ready to leave we heard a knock at the door. The local police officer, who I believe lives in our apartment complex, knocked and mentioned, “your wife is at the hospital and going to deliver.” “Yeah, she just called me, thank so much” I said back to him. Then he turned around and as he started walking off he said, “Congratulations” and I thanked him. Read the rest of this entry »
