Leighton is 7!
Well actually he turned 7 about a month ago, so I’m a little behind but doing what I can. I can’t believe it was 7 years ago that this sweet little boy made his way into our lives and our hearts. He has been a blessing from day 1 and continues to be. Leighton you…

Dol Bam Bam
We got our photos of Edric’s first birthday with him all dressed up in his traditional Hanbok. As I’ve mentioned before the first birthday is a big deal in Korea and there is a very formal ceremony that takes place. The ceremony and celebration is known as a Dol. As part of the ceremony the…
