Thanks for all of you!

My No.2 son Bochang (meaning learned and smooth),whose given name is after his brother's, Bowang (meaning learned and hope).

Can you imagine it that after over 20 years Wife finally gives birth to me a second son, which indeed makes us surprise and brings us great happiness. I am sure in the following years from now on both wife and I will retain youth for a long time. And my No.1 son is very happy for he has a little brother who can depend on each other in life.

This boy is born in the Chinese animal year of OX (Bull). I have consulted the Chinese zodiac. Info is as follows:
According to the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of 2009 is the Year of the Ox. The Ox, or the Buffalo sign symbolizes prosperity through fortitude and hard work. Those born under the influence of the Ox or Buffalo are fortunate to be stable and persevering. The typical Ox is a tolerant person with strong character. Not many people could equal the resolution and fearlessness that the Ox exhibits when deciding to accomplish a task. Ox people work hard without complaints at work or at home. They know that they will succeed through hard work and sustained efforts, and do not believe in get-rich-quick schemes.
Famous persons who were born in the OX years which I know of are Barack Obama, Magaret Thatcher, Princess Diana ...
But as the parents we do not expect him to be a man with great feats. To be a gentleman -- kind, just, devoted, is our wish to him.

BTW, my yarden seems ever better with flowers blooming to welcome baby's arrival into this world.
