Two years ago today, we boarded this big blue plane.
And we flew 6974.7 miles across countries and oceans, all the way to the other side of the world, specifically to Seoul, Korea.
We flew there to finally meet and bring home our sweet boy.
We were giddy and excited and nervous and just over-the-moon elated that he would finally, finally, FINALLY be in our arms…

It’s funny how that journey to bring Lil’ CB home felt like an eternity. The ten months that passed between seeing his little face and reading about him, to finally getting on that plane stretched on forever. Every passing day was another day that we didn’t have with our son. Every day was a day of his life that we missed. And every day was a day that we waited.
But since then?
My goodness, time has just flown and it is just unbelievable that it’s been *almost* two years (our Forever Family Day was a few days later) that we have been three. I suppose that old adage always holds true…Time really does fly when you’re having fun.
And what fun we’ve had!
We are looking forward to walking down memory lane this week and celebrating our 2nd Family Day!
