More precious time with our son

Today was fantastic. It was a dry day - we even got sunburned - and we had more incredible moments with our beautiful baby boy at his medical checkup (he's perfectly healthy!). I'll let the photos tell the story. (We've tried to upload video but it's just too big. Today he was less active and even more adorable which the videos show...but you'll just have to see him in person)!

(In this photo below Mike is showing Tae his "100 day" photo -- an incredibly adorable professional photo we received today that was taken of him when he was 100 days old).

It is so clear how much he and his foster mom love each other. She is so good to him and he is so attached to her. It's likely that it will be a difficult transition for both of them when they have to say goodbye on Monday.

We also spent a great day touring Seoul with 2 young women tour guides and one other couple from New Jersey adopting through Holt. We saw Gyongbokgung Palace (one of the 5 famous palaces in Seoul from the Joseon dynasty in Korea), toured 2 fabulous markets, had lunch on the floor at a fantastic restaurant (we have eaten some excellent food in Korea!), and tonight we got our American fix eating at TGI Fridays with two other Holt couples. It's been good to share this experience with others going through the same thing. It's truly surreal to think that this little boy with whom we've only spent 2 hours has already changed our lives completely -- he is God's greatest blessing to us!

(here's the changing of the guard at the palace:)

Our lunch today:

Thanks for checking in on us here in Korea. We plan the next couple days to enjoy more sights of Seoul and shop back at the markets. Blessings and love to you across the ocean!
