  • Jen’s 40th Birthday

    Jen’s 40th Birthday

    The weekend of December 9th, we celebrated Jen’s 40th birthday in Las Vegas. Grace sadly wasn’t able to fly. We also had a “caring for your newborn” class to attend on Saturday, so I made it a very quick trip. I stayed with Francis at the Wynn. It was very nice of Sherri and Kim (childhood friends), Stacey (NY friend), cousin Millie, Ray, Prem and Linda (gambling buddies) to also make the trip. Linda brought her new son, Oliver, along with her nanny and nanny’s mother. That’s quite an entourage. I think 24 hours might be the optimal length of trip to Vegas. A lot more damage can be done in 3 days.


  • Impromptu Man’s Meal for Thorne

    Impromptu Man’s Meal for Thorne

    Greg Thorne was in town for a quick business trip, so we used the occasion to have an impromptu Man’s Meal. Although the group was small, everything else was typical – Harris’ Board Room. However, I had a very unpleasant experience a few bites into my filet. I can’t quite describe it, but I was smart to not swallow it. The explanation from the chef was that the meat was “over-aged.” I was imagining it to be gangrenous. In any case, it almost ruined steak for me. I may even have to propose a change of venue next time. This serves me right for not just getting the typical prime rib.


  • Kellogg Potluck & Poker

    Kellogg Potluck & Poker

    On November 24th, we invited the Kellogg gang over for a holiday potluck. It was great to get everyone together, especially the newlyweds, Rhonda and Ky. We had a big game of no limit hold ’em until late into the evening. Jon got the best of everyone. Erich claimed to not know what he was doing, but came in second place – “so a flush beats a straight?” – sure.

    Thanksgiving 2006

    Grace was grounded due to the baby, so the Rhee family was kind enough to visit us in Burlingame for the holidays. This was the first time we ever hosted a holiday dinner. Grace, Mom and Jen cooked up a storm! Ann, Jeremy and Murphy also joined us for dinner. We all have much for which to be thankful.


  • Michigan vs. OSU

    Michigan vs. OSU

    On November 20th, we had the whole Michigan gang over for the big Michigan vs. OSU game. All of the hype leading up to the game proved to be warranted. And, the passing of our beloved Bo turned the drama up to 11. In the end, we came up short. However, it was a classic game, which we could have (and should have) won. Go Blue!

    Lisa and Brian had everyone over at their place to welcome all of our new employees. We’re growing fast! As always, Katie, Lucy and Jack were the life of the party.


  • Dukes’ Bachelor Party

    Dukes’ Bachelor Party

    The weekend of November 9th-11th, the boys made a special trip down to Cabo San Lucas for Matt’s bachelor party. The 12-bedroom house with infiniti pool (“Casa W”) in Pedregal was spectacular. Lamar did most of the cooking. Matt had friends from home and b-school there as well. Coincidentally, one of them and I went to elementary and high school together – I hadn’t seen him in about 18 years. Time was spent at El Squid Roe and Cabo Wabo. Good, clean fun. Everyone made it back across the border in one piece. I think we may be getting a little old for this… Great times.


  • We’re Having a Girl!

    by

    I’ve been way, way behind in keeping up with graceandjason.com with everything that has been going on the past couple of months. Way back on August 11th, Grace had her second ultrasound, where we were told with some certainty that our baby is a girl. We’re both very excited for her arrival and continue to simply hope for good health for both her and Grace. Video (high | low) from the second ultrasound.


  • Hualalai with Mom & Dad Rhee

    Hualalai with Mom & Dad Rhee

    After spending 5 wonderful days in Oahu, we went over to Kona for the rest of the week to meet up with my parents. We sent them to enjoy Maui while we were in Oahu. Thanks to all of Grace’s travel, she was able to set them up in a beautiful corner suite at the Westin at Ka’anapali Beach. I think they may have been a little too spoiled because by the time they got to Hualalai, they seemed to be missing their spacious digs. In any case, we had a really wonderful time together there. We all golfed together one day (mom drove the cart and took pictures). Eemoh’s kids wanted to do something special for mom and dad’s 40th anniversary this year, so they treated them to a helicopter ride across the island to see the lava flows. Grace and I golfed together again that day.

    We enjoyed Hualalai on our honeymoon. Since then, I wanted all of our parents to be able to enjoy it, too, so we were very glad to have mom and dad enjoy it with us. Hopefully, next time, mom and dad Park will join us, too. This was our last hurrah before the baby. It was a wonderful trip beginning to end.


  • Rhonda and Ky’s Wedding in Oahu, Hawaii

    Rhonda and Ky’s Wedding in Oahu, Hawaii

    We traveled to Oahu, Hawaii to celebrate Rhonda and Ky’s wedding with their family and friends. As this was our last trip together before the baby, we decided to stay in a hotel in Waikiki. Most of our other Kellogg friends rented houses together near the beach in Kailua. Erich was staying in the hotel next door, so we were able to do a lot together. We played golf at a beautiful (and difficult course) on Saturday. It rained a lot and was pretty muddy out there, but it was fun. Saturday night, we met everyone for dinner in Waikiki. The wedding was held on Sunday, October 22nd, at Moli’i Gardens in Kualoa. The bride and groom arrived in Hawaiian style on a boat. Our beloved Federico Papa officiated the outdoor ceremony. I must say that it was a very touching and emotional wedding and after Ky’s speech to his bride and parents, there was hardly a dry eye under the tent.

    The celebration lasted well into the evening and Ky’s old Navy buddies provided much of the color. Here are our pictures from the trip. However, their wedding photographer did a much better job of capturing the beauty of both the event and the couple – check them out here.
