Referral

Jim and I are thrilled to announce that we received our referral for a son! We officially accepted the referral today, which begins our wait for travel. We anticipate making the trip to Seoul, South Korea in 3-5 months. He was born on March 19, 2009, which means he is currently 6 months old. He is currently living with a loving foster family in Seoul. We are so impressed with the care that the babies get as the wait for the forever families.

In the next few days I will share a few more pictures and explain the referral to travel process so all are aware what must happen in order for him to come home. Keep in mind, we did not think we would get a referral for 7 more months, so this is a surprise, but it is wonderful.

Let the shopping begin, I have already begun to scope out the baby Uggs....


Introducing Parker Sang Tae Howell!!

The Zoo and other fun dates

The 1859 Balloon Launch

According to Jim, I have asked about going to the Indianapolis Zoo for the past seven years..So we finally went! We got the opportunity to pet a shark, and got some pictures that I posted. After, we stopped by the Easley Winery for a tasting and a Broad ripple Pub for dinner. What a great date.

Today I worked an early shift at the Weekend to End Breast Cancer, the amazing participants raised $2,000 each and will walk 38 miles in the next two days! We also visited Conner Prairie, the Smithsonian affiliate museum in our town. We had so much fun as we rode the hot air balloon, pet the baby animals, and walked through the settlers town. I kept saying "I am getting a membership!"

Next week is the Junior League American Girl Fashion Show! Since I will be working the event both days, Jim's Mom is going to bring the nieces down to watch the show.
