Our Baby Story (if you will)

My friend Londa is a genius at videos. I had given her footage we took of Liv and asked if she could edit/put together something from our time in Korea when we picked her up. She WAY exceeded my expectations and made a video of our whole first year! The beginning of the video is the very first time we met her. Then there's a little more of our time at the agency with her and leaving the agency/at airports. The remainder is clips from her first year at home. The very last shot is us at her court date when the adoption was finalized (about 4 months after she'd been home). Hope you enjoy it! THANK YOU LONDA!

Trouble with Blogger

While I can write posts on our computers, for some reason I can't post them. I click the post button, and it does nothing. So I save my posts, and when I can get onto another computer, I go to Blogger to post them. Thus the delays in dates. So bear with me.

I am writing this post at about 9:30pm on October 2nd. But in Korean time, it's the 3rd and our little man's first birthday. He's starting the day as a one year old. It's so hard to believe that I have a son, and I've missed his first year of life. I'm excited to have him, SO excited to meet him someday, but so sad I missed all those baby moments. Adoption is so different and so much harder in some ways but way more miraculous in others. I pray for him often, pray like the dickens we can bring him home sooner than later. According to our agency, the timeline is still next summer to go get him. We are waiting for a visa from Korea. Obviously if we get any new news I'll pass it on.

We love you little man! Happy Birthday!

Boaz

Our dear friend, Londa, got a puppy named Boaz. Liv loves him. He's part chihauhau and part pomeranian. And he's got that awesome solid black line down the middle of his nose. Really, if you put it in scale, it's like an adult with a lab or golden retriever size dog on a leash. I just love the picture below - 2 balloons and a puppy, what kid could be happier. And we don't have to take care of this puppy! :)
