dreams really do come true

Most of you have probably heard about my good friend Kim. Kim and I met about 3 years ago, when we were both going through infertility. She came to work at my office, and worked there only for a short time, but we became fast friends. She's been such a huge support and inspiration to me over the past 3 years. Kim's dream of motherhood came true in May of 2007 when her twins were born; my dream of motherhood came true a few months later when we learned about our son in Korea.  Although our children were born a half a world away from each other, they were only born about 3 months apart! So, this past weekend, I took Kai to visit Kim and her twins in Salt Lake City! It was so fun to see our babies together at last, and they LOVED each other at first sight! In fact, our first night there, Kai was so sad when he couldn't sleep in the same room as Elle and Diesel (the twins). It made us both wish we lived closer together so they could play together all the time. It was a busy, crazy time with 3 one-year olds, but so, so fun!! (Just wish the twins had felt better... they were sick the whole weekend)
Here are a few pics of all the kiddos together.

On Saturday the twins didn't feel very good, so Kim's parents came and stayed with them while Kim, Kai and I saw some of the sights of SLC. The fountain at the Olympic Plaza was a hit with our little water dog! He had the time of his life running through the water, squealing with delight the whole time! I don't think any explanation is needed for these pictures!


A huge Thank You to Kim (and her family) for once again being a wonderful hostess (and taking the great pictures)!!
