Thank you, Mrs. Lee and Mr. Kang!

What a wonderful surprise! We received a call from our adoption agency telling us there was a package for us from Claire's foster family in Korea. Inside, there were new hanboks for both Ben and Claire (in larger sizes) and some beautiful hair accessories for Claire. That, alone, was such a generous gift, however, there was more! They saw our posted video clip on the blog of Ben doing Taekwando and decided to send both Ben and Claire Taekwando outfits from Korea! Ben was sooooo excited!

THANK YOU MR. KANG AND MRS. LEE! We are so lucky to have you in our lives!

Dave, Christa, Ben & Claire

Catching Up

Okay, so it's been quite a while since we've posted any updates. Here are some things we've been up to over the past month or so.

A trip to the circus wouldn't be complete without a ride on an elephant! Ben had a great time!

I couldn't resist snapping a picture of this. This is Claire's "bug" that came home with her from Korea and she falls asleep holding onto one of its legs every night.

The second annual outing on the pumpkin train was fun for everyone! Here, Ben and Claire are eating their lunch with Jack and Lucy.

Pullen South came along as well. Here they are picking out their pumpkins!

Here's Ben's pumpkin choice!

Ben & Claire are hanging out with their cousins, Mia and Vivian!

Happy Birthday, Mia!!!

Vivian is getting so big...such a cutie pie!

It's pumpkin carving time!

Check out their work!

Claire's first experience jumping in the leaves-very fun!

Such a ham!

Halloween is finally here!

Batman is ready for trick or treat!

Claire's costume looks just like her "bug"!

Claire's not too sure about this trick or treating thing.
Look at all of Ben's loot!

Couldn't resist posting this clip of Claire doing one of her favorite things of late!

And she's now walking (albeit much like Frankenstein)! Here she is in action.
