Halloween fun!!

Griffin turned 5, wow they grow up fast!














One year ago







Last year on November 4, we were told that a little 4-month-old Korean princess named Wooyoun Park was going to be our daughter! I still remember looking at her picture for the first time and wondering how on earth she could be so cute and that she looked like a Lilyana! I remember sharing the news with the boys and with other loved ones. I also remember being so happy that we were expecting a third child but I did not have to be pregnant! You see, for me pregnancy was fine once but that it was out of my system after Carter, so adoption was a wonderful way for us to grow our family! So many more important reasons that we adopted but that one I remember thinking on "referral day." We just knew looking at her that God had designed this adventure from long before adoption was even in our hearts and long before Lily was conceived. So glad that he gave us the desires of our hearts and that we were obedient, even when we had no idea how we were going to do it. I have learned that obedience always trumps fear and the payoff is so much better!
