Pics (with a little help from new friends!)

We met a couple from Arkansas in the computer room at the guest house. We thought we wouldn't be able to post pictures until we got home but they were much smarter than we are so you can now see our new daughter.




Here she is! Isn't she cute?



Daddy (Appa) and Ellie (Yeong Ah). Her foster family calls her by her Korean name. She has been Ellie to us for a long time but now we find ourselves calling her Yeong Ah.






Momma (Omma) and Ellie. She is really interested in touching and pinching our faces.






These are Ellie's foster parents. They were both so kind. It is obvious that Ellie has gotten wonderful care from both of them. It is also obvious that she has gotten sufficient food - she is a chunk!

  1. oh my word, she is just precious! You guys look so happy.
    I remember too that in Korea it was hard to think of our kids with their "new" names- even for awhile after they came home.
    I hope the weather gets better there! We had a nice thunderstorm here last night. ;D

  2. Holy cuteness! Except for the weather, everything else sounds like it is going very well. Can't wait to see and hold Ellie when you get back.

    It may have been 90 degrees yesterday,but it will be low 50's and a good chance of rain for Saturday and Sunday.

    Have fun the next couple days!

Love reading the updates!! :-) If ever the day comes when we can do something similar, it will be nice knowing someone who's "been there" recently!! :-)

  4. Don't feel to out of luck. It's 42 degrees right now and looking like drizzle :)

    Ellie is adorable!

    (oh, and do try the squid. When we were in Greece I accidentally ordered a dish that had whole fish that were simply boiled [so I was lucky enough to even get the innards].....turns out it was absolutely DELICIOUS.)
