Trevor Pictures!












Trevor has been home three months and is doing very well. He is almost walking and loves to wheel his pushcart around the house. He really likes to follow Ella around and imitates whatever she is doing. He is "talking" quite a bit, loves to watch people, play outside and eat snacks!
We are so blessed to have him as a part of our family and I can't believe he is turning 1 year old!

Trevor has been home for a month now and is doing great! He's getting big, enjoying table food, "chatting" up a storm and cruising furniture with ease. He loves imitating his big sister and chasing her around the house- wherever she goes, he crawls right after her! Trevor made his first trip to the zoo and Kings Island and really did seem to enjoy people-watching. Everytime someone would smile at him, he would laugh and wave at them!

We're Home!






We are home with Trevor! It was a much easier trip to pick him up then our travels to China for Ella. He is doing well, just trying to get over jet-lag and establish a routine and schedule. Trevor is a very gentle, smiley baby and loves the be held and cuddled. He really loves watching his sister, she is starting to want to help with his diaper and feeding him.
He is also extremely active, crawling as fast as lightning, pulling up on anything and trying to cruise the furniture. The pediatrician thinks he will be an early walker as he was trying to stand by himself in the doctor's office. He loves table food, Puffs, his baby swing on the swingset and playing with his toys, although he is not overly crazy about his crib since he isn't really used to sleeping alone yet or his carseat as he is still sitting rear-facing and can't see us.
We are glad to have him home. Let us know if you would like to visit sometime.

Meeting Trevor











We traveled to Detroit, Michigan to meet Trevor and pick him up from the airport on Tuesday, June 30th. His plane was to arrive at 1:45 PM. While the plane was on time, it took another hour for him to go thru immigration with the escort from the foster care agency. We were chatting with our greeter when all of a sudden, there he was right in front of us! Wouldn't you know, the video camera stalled right as we tried to turn it on, but we did get some good pictures of the hand-off.
Trevor was very tired and jet-lagged from the long flight, not to mention the fact that it was the middle of the night in Korea. They checked his arm band and passport to make sure his name matched up and took a few pictures with the escort and that was it. Trevor came with quite a bit of luggage. Our greeter, who has been doing this for 30 years, said his foster parents sent the most stuff she had ever seen.

Once we got back to the hotel, he wanted to get down on the floor and play. For just meeting us, he was smiling and laughing quite a bit. It was obvious after unpacking all of his toys, favorite quilt and presents from his foster mother, that he was very well-taken care of and shown a lot of love and attention, for which we are so grateful. These pictures are from meeting him at the airport and the first pictures from the hotel. He was very intrigued with watching Ella.

Trevor Is Coming Home!

We were contacted by our agency late Wed. afternoon to let us know that the travel plans and escort have been arranged for Trevor, so he is ready to come home!

We'll be picking him up at the Detroit Airport on Tuesday, June 30th, which also happens to be the day he turns 9 months old. The flight is scheduled to arrive at 1:45 PM. Hopefully, he will be awake since that will actually be his "night".
We're obviously elated to finally meet our baby boy!

New Pictures and Immigration Update

We received updated pictures of Trevor several weeks ago. These were taken at 6 1/2 months old and he just turned 8 months old the other day. He is doing well, getting big, sitting and creeping on his own now. They reported that he is very smiley and likes to be played with and held.
Our U.S. immigration paperwork is completed and approved and has been forwarded on to the Embassy in Seoul, South Korea. We will now be waiting for him to receive passport and visa so he can come home!!
