Happy Family Day!

One year ago today we stepped off the plane in Rochester and officially became a family of five! Where has the last year gone? We are so happy that Ellie came to be part of our family and we can't even imagine life without her. Every day it is so clear that she was meant to be part of this family. Phil likes to say that out of the three children Ellie's personality is most like mine. We are both strong opinionated women! Unfortunately I am in the middle of a big trial so our celebration in honor of today was small. We did get an ice cream cake because Ellie LOVES ice cream. Abby thought the kids should celebrate by dressing up in their hanboks so we did that and took pictures.

This photo was taken in our living room after we arrived home from Korea on April 29, 2009. Poor Ellie is jet lagged and a little overwhelmed by her new family.

What a difference a year makes! This photo was taken in our living room after dinner on April 29, 2010. No longer overwhelmed by the big kids, Ellie fits right in a loves every minute she spends with her brother and sister.
