Humbled once again.

When Jeong hui came home in December 2006 we were given an option to travel or have him escorted home. For many reasons, having him escorted home was the best option for us. The agency would arrange to have people in Korea fly over with babies to meet their families. We knew that Jeong hui would be escorted home by a man named Mr Kwon, but that was all the information we were given.

On a VERY cold evening we all met, for the first time, in Omaha, Nebraska. It was a surreal moment. Strangers, who would be forever connected. Because I was able to "find" Mr Kwon on facebook, we were able to meet again tonight in Seoul!!! I was VERY happy and excited to be able to see him again, but he once again delivered a priceless gift...PICTURES!!!

If you know me at all, you know my love of photographs. I love to take them and document everyday life, I adore taking pictures of my family, and I love the art form they provide. Jeong hui's omma loved him VERY much, but we only got 8 pictures of the first 6 months of his life. I'm positive that 3 of those pictures are NOT of my baby. :( Jeong hui has really started taking an interest in seeing pictures of himself as a baby and I don't have much to show him. The pictures tonight DOUBLE the number of pictures I have of him at an early age. I sat here and cried as I looked through the pictures.
THANK YOU MR KWON!!!!!!!
