Happy New Year

What a year it has been.  What a roller coaster of a year it has been.  Paul and I had some real lows this year waiting for Jae to come home: Waiting for pictures.  Waiting for updates.  Waiting for Visa approvals.  Waiting for the travel call.  And then our year, and our lives, changed forever as we got to travel to Korea and bring Jae home.  Funny to think that only 4 months ago, we were 1/2 way around the world sitting in a lobby waiting for Foster mom and Jae to walk through the door.  Jae would barely let us hold him that day and now, he will barely let us put him down!  He quite often comes running over to one of us with his arms outstretched yelling, "Up!  Up!  Up!"

But what an ending to 2011.  Who wouldn't love this kid?  :)

And yes, that is a bruise right smack dab in the middle of his forehead.  The little stinker ran right into the door frame this week.  :)

Love,
Jae's Mom
