Doses of Reality

All in all we've had a good day so far.  At times, Grace gets very sad about the loss of her foster family...we think mostly her mother.  She does let us comfort her though, which is encouraging.  And today, we've both been able to feed her a bottle...an improvement already from yesterday when she wouldn't take one from us.

Her favorite spot in her Mommy's back (or 'packpack' as Annie would say).  We are glad to have this time over the weekend to bond and get more familiar with each other before we start the long journey home, but we're ready to be with Reed and Annie again as a 'whole' family.  We think that Grace is going to like having a big brother and sister, since she has been the baby of four kids for the past 9 months.

We met a family from St. Louis this afternoon.  They were out wandering around with their 2 daughters, the youngest only since yesterday.  I've included some pictures from our day.

wow, you guys are FAST!!! i'm checking out your blog while the girls nap and was shocked to see me on it! it was so nice meeting you and speaking in full English sentences (we've been here since LAST Friday - eight days now!), so the conversation was welcome.
we hope you have a smooth transition and that Grace feels comfortable with you very soon. hang in there and PLEASE email us if you need anything! adoption is amazing, but it's not always easy. i'm at: littlelizajane(at)gmail(dot)com
and I totally agree that Seoul needs more garbage cans - we noticed the same thing this time!
