Beautiful Dream - Our Kaelynn Rose

It has officially been 1 year since Miss Kaelynn Rose Soo Jin arrived here in the United States!!!! It was a very long journey to bring her home, a whirlwind trip to Korea, and a difficulkt parting for all involved as we left Korea - but then, she just fit right in. Within days she was laughin and giggling, and it was as if she had always been with us!

I cannot believe that she has been home for a whole year already - the time has flown by. She has changed so much - she has hair! She can walk, run, and climb! She is starting to talk, and we have fallen in love with her more and more each day.

She is our pride and joy - we coudn't have made one better ourselves!!!

Here's to many, many more beautiful, happy, homecoming anniversaries!!!!!

Tonight was Kaelynn's First Halloween with us and first Trick-or-Treat experience. We went to Menlo Park to spend the day with our dear friends (more like family) the Koenig family.

Kaelynn had a WONDERFUL time - despite not getting a very good nap she just loved running through the streets in her ladybug costume - which had been purchased for her by Grammy and even posed for photos in her handmade Totoro costume - that Mommy made!

It took her awhile to get the hang of walking up for trick -or - treating to the doors - but once she figured it out - she RAN to the doors!!!

Kaelynn tried a few different candies - some were hits - like twizzlers, others not so much - like Red Hots!!!!

All in all, we think she had an awesome day - and we can't wait to do it again next year!!
