Charles E. Milkfat

On Tuesday March 22nd, we dared to venture into the place all kids love and all parents fear......that's right we went to Chuck E. Cheese. A Chuck E. Cheese opened in Rochester in December but we had managed to avoid it thus far. I had heard that the pizza was terrible and that it was crazy busy. But being the really cool parents that we are we went there after work/school/daycare one evening. We decided to go on a Tuesday night in the hopes that the crowds would be small. I had a coupon so for the same price would normally spend to have dinner out we got pizza, drinks and 55 tokens! That was enough tokens for a couple hours of fun. Much to our surprise, it wasn't very busy and the pizza was actually pretty good. We had lots of fun and I am sure we will go back.

To Korea with Love...

We sent off a care package to Charlotte this week. It should arrive in Korea on Thursday and hopefully Charlotte will receive it on the 10th when she goes in for her well baby check. It turns out that the adoption world is fairly small and when you narrow it to adoption from South Korea it gets even smaller. We met a family on-line whose son was with the same foster family that Ellie had! This family lives in Illinois and they are traveling to Korea this week to bring home their second son. They graciously offered to take a gift for Charlotte. We are very appreciative and hope to meet this wonderful family in person some day.

We sent an outfit, a little sister t-shirt, a photo album with all of our pictures in it, a recordable story book that phil and I read, a blanket, a musical toy, shoes, socks, and baby wash. We also returned the CD that that Charlie's foster family sent to us and we loaded it up with pictures and video of our family.

The t-shirt we sent says little sister in Korean and in English. We got them for each of the kids and took their pictures in their shirts for the photo album we sent. We thought it would be nice for Charlie's foster family to be able to read the shirts too!
