The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

It has been exactly one year ago today since I saw my son's precious face. We had waited so long for that day and it finally arrived. It was a very emotional day for us and I will never forget it.

Reminiscing

Seoul was such a neat city. I could have roamed around several more days and never got tired of it. It was clean and very seldom did we see trash. People roamed around at all hours and things were still hopping at 4:00 am. I always felt safe and very rarely did we hear sirens!! Life in the big city was good for the week even if we were under a typhoon warning!

Don't Blink

Could it really be that a year has gone by?? Wow time really does fly!! A year ago tomorrow we boarded a plane headed for South Korea. Actually it feels like today because it was a Sunday that we left. We were nervous and excited all at the same time. We had waited so long for that day to arrive. It was a beautiful morning when we left and I felt as though God were smiling down on us!!

We were going to meet our son-the little boy who had consumed our lives and stolen our hearts. We had no idea what an awesome adventure was awaiting us. We were starting a new chapter in our lives.

This will be an emotional week for us. Our little man has changed so much and is talking up a storm now. He is very funny and is losing his "baby" look. I think about what we did before him and cannot hardly remember what it was like. I think about his birth mom and his foster mom and the country of his birth. Korea will always hold a very special place in our heart.

First Family Vacation

This year we went to Springfield and Branson over July 4th weekend. We visited Bass Pro/Branson Landing/Went Swimming and basically just hung out. It was sooooo hot and we also had Winston, our elderly dog with us and since he is on heart medicine and a water pill we had to keep a close eye on him. We also stayed with our niece Paige at her new apartment in Springfield so it was quite an adventure. Can't wait to see what our next family vacation will be although it will be a ways off since school starts back this week. Today was awesome with the high being 83. We went swimming and it was actually chilly when the breeze hit us!!

How Much Do I Love You???

I love Korea this much!!!!! So sorry we have been terrible on the blogging this summer. Miles accidentally cracked our laptop screen while waving his Fourth of July beads from the parade. He didn't hit it that hard but just enough in one area to cause the problem so we have been without our computer until last night.

Also my mother is still in the hospital recovering from open heart surgery. She had an aortic valve replaced and triple bypass so I have been spending time with her as much as possible. I will update more this weekend and add more pictures!!

We have an eventful weekend planned. A wedding tomorrow and Mike's parents 50th wedding anniversary Sunday. Stay cool and enjoy the last days before school starts!!
