2nd Meeting!!

I sent her this outfit with my friend Audrey.
That is her fish face, which Jesse said she does a lot!

So I tried to stay up and wait but I am SO tired from being up so late this week that I fell asleep. I did however set the alarm to wake up in 2 hours so I could come down and talk to Jesse.
I woke up at 4:21am and ran downstairs and Jesse was not online. I think he went to meet our friends after they got their son, so he did leave me with a few pics and an email .
This is the only picture I am going to put up right now because the other 2 are of the foster parents and don't feel their picture should be up because I don't have their permission.
Let me start by saying that I am so glad I sent gifts for them, with Jesse and in the 6 care packages for them.
From what Jesse told me, they are VERY nice people and love Bee very much!
Today at the meeting they both came and brought a lot of stuff with them.
They bought her a hanbok and a photo album with pictures of her since she was 2 weeks old when they got her. He said there is one picture of her looking at Riley's picture.
He also said that they bought a hanbok for Riley which I think is such an amazing gesture and totally speaks to the kind of people they are. I am so grateful that Bee was with them!
They also gave him the baby care package with all of the diapers and bottles.
He will get her tomorrow and I can't wait!
Since we will be skyping tomorrow night with him before he leaves for the airport, I will get to see and talk to her! My friend Megan had a great idea, so I am going to take a small video of my screen while I'm talking to her and then you all can see her!! As soon as I get up and my husband decides to send me more pictures I will post them.

She is ADORABLE!!! I am sure that you can not wait until Jesse and Bee are home. The picture and your comment about the subway cracked me up! Enjoy every minute!

Jen said...

Sounds like Jesse had a great second meeting and is having fun touring around Seoul! Enjoy your time in Seoul, Jesse!

Be sure to catch up on your sleep while they are flying home. You are going to need to be well rested for her first few days home.

I'm so happy for you, Kara. Your daughter is almost home!

She's adorable!!!
I just can't imagine how tough it is on foster parents to care so much for these sweet children and then hand them off to us APs. I don't know that I could be so strong.

I love her fish face! That is so wonderful about the foster family and their gifts. So sweet of them to think of giving Riley a hambok too!

Jill said...

What a cutie... you are so lucky to have such considerate and loving foster parents. What a gift to get pictures of her growing up. I only received 5 pictures of max and they were just at the end of his stay..... I so wish i had pictures of him as a baby.....
can't wait to hear more about his visit......
