WE'RE HERE.. and she's wonderful!

We made it to Korea!  The flight seemed longer than last time.... due to entertaining a 3 yr old that REFUSED to sleep longer than 1 1/2 hours (twice).  According to him, there wasn't enough food!  We got here at 5:30pm and found our KAL bus no problem and were dropped off in front of our hotel (We are staying at Imperial Palace).  The place is amazing!  It's like the Ritz of Ritz!  And it has a driving range that tees up your balls for you.  Little man is going to FLIP when he sees it!  We did bring his club so once he knows it's there, we'll never be able to leave the hotel!

We visited baby G today.  It was a 45 minute (Scary) van ride to south west seoul.  The foster mom and baby G were waiting for us outside.  She gave us smiles and likes to hide her face when she does.  She can't let her foster mom out of site though ......

Eventually during our meeting she let us each hold her.  She was fine with that unless the foster mom left the room.  C enjoyed her, and she couldn't take her eyes off of him.  She'd follow him around in her walker.  He gave her a dumbo that he picked out for her and she seemed to really like it.  The best part for me was when she was eating apple in her walker and leaned her head towards me and I did the same.... Ryan's favorite part was C gave her a kiss.  Totally unexpected of him and she LOVED it, smiled real big.  

The foster mom got her some great toys and a hanbok that actually matches C's from when he came home.  We amazingly get to receive baby G on Friday.  Typically SWS won't let you have your baby more than 2 days before you leave (which would be Monday for us), but our SW told them that friday was the same date that we received C 3 years ago and they are letting us have her early!  Two kids on the same day!!!!!  So Friday we'll be meeting C's foster mom at SWS and then receiving G when were done.  It's going to be a great family day!

Enjoy the pictures!  We'll try to update you with happenings around seoul as we move through the week!
