Oh crap! I came down to show Sydney before I take her to school and the waiting to put my make-up on just flew out the window as I watched the new video! That was beautiful and I know that song meant a lot to you. Sydney was so cute looking at the pics and asking 20 questions. "Is he little, is he light...you know not heavy? Can I give him one of my stuffed animals, so he has some..maybe the penguin one, because I don't like penguins anymore:)Who is that boy with him? What's a foster brother? What is that pink thing? Oh it must be a buggy. Mommy try not to get a tear on my face? Don't you know he shouldn't be putting that black thing in his mouth." So funny and cute. She can't wait to meet him. She's trying to sing a song about/to him right now, but she said it might be too long, because it's a Korean song! Oh my gosh, she's cracking me up. The video was beautiful and she wants to see it again, but we have to go and now I have to fix my make-up. Enjoy your day! Love you all! Love, T & Sydney:)
That was so beautiful (as I wipe away my tears of joy to type this!). We are so happy for you. Kate was talking about Cooper and Ryan and any time you weren't in the picture she was asking, "Where's Miss Kawi?" God is good! We can't wait to meet him!! GOod luck with the rest of your trip! Love, Erik, Meghan, and Kate
What a blessing for you all. The video is wonderful and I'm pretty sure I should have NEVER watched it at work, but couldn't help myself. Ryan is so wonderful, such a sweet face. He does have a very studious look that is just like Aidan's. Maybe we will have to little professors on our hands! Leanne
Oh Kari...he's just perfect!! I saw on the forum you had updated your blog, so I rushed to see it!!! I am crying now!! Just gives me hope that one day it will be our turn to hold baby Cooper like this!! Ryan's foster family is wonderful, & I so hope our foster mom took pictures for us!!! I can't wait to see the rest of this trip!! You are just glowing!!! Congrats!!!
Just happened upon your blog. Loved the video. I used to listen to that song over and over and over while waiting for my second child to arrive from Korea 8 years ago.
I don't know how I'm supposed to get anything done today! I can't stop looking at your beautiful pictures and video! You did such a beautiful job... it shows God's wonderful work in bringing together your family as only He can do! Gosh.. I know exactly how you are feeling.. I remember the first time Isabel crawled up to me and sat in my lap..I just love adoption stories :) Enjoy the rest of your time in Korea, and once the dust settles at home we have lots of us excited to meet him :) Melanie says she can show him what to do with those sunglasses.... kinda :)
I love this video! I also cried when I watched it and even more tears when I saw you holding him in the end and playing with him. I am so happy for you and Joey! I can't wait to meet him! Krystal
So it's me for the third time today! Sydney keeps asking to see the video, so of course we've watched it over and over again and I think I cry more each time, especially when I hear the happiness in your voice at the end! Each time we watch it, Sydney says she is worried about Cooper being home alone, because he looks so sad. She is of course referring to the Christmas picture in the video. She thinks he is at home by himself waiting for all of you:) She has been telling everyone at school about Ryan, where you are at and even the name of the video you sent today. When I picked her up today, her teachers knew all about Ryan:) She can't wait to love her new cousin up (neither can Noah) and I can't wait to see my nephew in person. Jim showed everyone at work the video today and he was getting choked up as well. We'll see you all on Friday:) Can't wait! Love you, T
I had a few tear's at the beginning and a flood at the end when you were lifting Ryan in the air and I could see the happiness there!! Joey are you holding up OK? Can't wait to see you all on Friday. I bought Ryan a BALL!!! Have to watch the video again! Love Mom
You all look so happy, and he is just the cutest thing!! The end with Kari lifting Ryan in the air and the one with Ryan crawling on Joe just brought tears to me eyes!! So happy for your three and can't wait to see you all together. He likes balls....good sign for another ball player in the family!! Have a safe trip back home!! Doreen
My husband and I are enjoying our life with our son Ryan Kaon and have begun the process to adopt a little girl from South Korea! We are the lucky ones!
