It was a very hot but fun day in Insadong market. The area is closed to cars for most of the day on Saturday. We shopped and looked at all kinds of things--scrolls, pottery, giant slabs of ginger candy, seafood, and even guitars. We ate some good food too. Little guy rode around contentedly during our shopping trip and then practiced his crawling skills back at the hotel.
What a busy and great day we have had! It was extremely warm in Seoul today--and we toured in this weather--to the National Museum of Korea and to a model/demonstration traditional Korean village in Seoul. The big brother really enjoyed the traditional village activities--you'll see him weaving hay into mats in one photo. He was a trooper all day until he began begging to go to bed in the middle of dinner--we got him to bed as soon as we could.
And after our tour... we received our little guy. He couldn't possibly be any sweeter. He is doing a great job adjusting so far. He and his dad are asleep in each other's arms right now!
We had a super exciting visit with our agency this morning. We were able to meet our son and his foster mother as well as with our daughter's foster mother. We had yummy kalbi (grilled right at our table) and banchan for lunch. Here's what everyone wants to see... photos!
We made it! Long flight, but luckily everything went as planned. We'll meet our little guy tomorrow as well as visiting with our daughter's foster mother. Much anticipation!
Well, it's a good thing we got the blog going, because we received a surprise travel call on August 7! We'll be leaving for Korea in 2 days. Can't wait!

We have signed and sent our Class B waiver. Now we're waiting for it to get processed so our little guy can get scheduled for his VI. Then on to TC. So... we figure it's time for our procrastinating selves to get a blog started in case people would like to follow along. Welcome, everyone!
