Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!!! I’m a dad! We’re parents!! Young Seo & I (Jason Richards) are so happy to announce the birth of our son, Lincoln Taejun Richards, born on January 25th. Lincoln was born in Regina, so it made for a fair amount of time before we could bring him home, but we had such amazing care at Regina General, we couldn’t have asked for more (Oh and if anyone ever has a nurse named Miesha in Labor & Delivery, she is THE BEST!!). Nothing tops the moment of walking back into your own house, with your new son, and setting him down in his crib for the first time as he sleeps. We are so excited/nervous/joyous/anxious/happy to be parents, and everything in between. We hope you will all get the chance to see little Lincoln soon, until then, here a few pictures to keep you occupied!
I would like to thank the church for all of its support, and those that helped with leadership while I was away. Jim Pratt, Jeri-Lee Jones and Kaye Hemus were all wonderful in their offering of assistance. To everyone who has given us gifts, we thank you from the bottom of our heart, little Lincoln knows love, I am sure of it!

I want to share a little story with you as well. While we were in Regina (like every other time we go to Regina) we always have to stop at the Korean Market to get Young some food. The market in Regina is nice, and has a decent selection. My father and I meandered over there on our last afternoon, and started shopping with the list Young gave us. One of the items I could not find, and as I wandered the aisles, a woman came up to me and asked if she could help. I said what I was looking for, and she asked the man at the counter, he said that they had no more left. The woman introduced herself, and then brought over her husband, who as it so happens is the minister of a Korean church in Regina. Well, he loved our story, and was so happy to meet us, and his wife was overjoyed to hear of our new baby. The minister is looking to make connections in Estevan, so we got to talking, and had an amazing discussion. My dad had to pull me away! We exchanged phone numbers, and went on our way, as the woman promised that she would bring some food down to Young after a week! She kept that promise. A week goes by, and I get a text ‘We are coming down today!’ They drove two hours, and brought a weeks worth of food for Young. Young and the pastor found out they had a few mutual friends in Korea! They stayed only a little while before they went back to Regina, only driving down that day to deliver food for Young, Korean traditional after baby food. It was truly God’s providence to meet this couple, and we were touched by their kindness, as we are with so many people during this joyous time.
