More new friends!!

Over the past several months we have had the pleasure of getting connected with some other families with children from Korea. We were connected the "R" family through a mutual friend, and they have been absolutely wonderful to us! They have two children, both from Korea, a 9 year old son (Sam) and a 5 year old daughter (Emma). We first started conversing through emails, then one Sunday, Holly (the mom) noticed me at church! Later that day I got an email asking if we went to their church. Over the next few weeks (I'm not kidding) she saw me a few other places around town, until finally we met face-to-face...at Costco!! (Not planned, of course) It's a little scary that we go to the same stores and restaurants, but that day at Costco, we even had the same dog bed in our shopping carts! Yikes! We feel so blessed to have been connected with this wonderful family, and really feel they'll be great mentors to us in the years to come. Last Sunday they invited us to dinner at their house, and another family joined us as well (also with a 5 year old Korean son, Zach). We had such a great time, and Kai had a blast playing with the big kids!  After looking for so long for other adoptive families, we feel so lucky that we're finally getting connected! Here are a few pictures of the kids, taken by Holly. Unfortunately, Sam was off doing his own thing, but here are some good ones of Kai, Emma and Zach!
