The Youngest Member of Team ZenKimchi

We’re expecting a new ZenKimchi team member in December. Her current name is “Alkongi,” or “Eggbeany.” Looks like a lizard right now, but I hear that he’ll become a cute baby that cries and poops.

Egg beany……OK . Congratulations to the proud Amonee and Abojee. Perhaps we can now buy you a cup of formula instead of a coffee. This is so cool and you are both blessed. May God provide your wife with an easy pregnancy and you with a sense of humor so when she is crazy tired and emotional, you will lift her spirits and your own too.
