Visa Update

I received an email from my agency today...after inquiring about Kelsey's paperwork. The agency said they are working on her processing the paperwork for her visa. Once that gets submitted, it will be about a week and a half later that it will be issued and she will be ready to travel home. So, I hope we will be getting a call in the next few weeks.

Frankfort Shower

Well, the Frankfort shower was wonderful. The house was full of friends and family and we had a great time. Kelsey got lots of really cute stuff. I think we are ready for her to come home.

Food!


Vanessa always makes the BEST cakes!! And look, it's monogrammed.

Here is a cute plate, cup, and utensil set.

Bath set: hooded towel and cute baby toys.


Grampy bought Kelsey her 1st baby doll...isn't she beautiful.

Digital Scrapbooking


Okay, here is my 1st attempt at digital scrapbooking. It has taken me some time to figure it out, but I think I have the hang of it. These are all of the pictures that we have received of Kelsey thus far.

Medical Update

Friday was a busy day for us. We found out about Kelsey's EP being approved and later that evening we got a new medical update on her. She has gained another 1.5 lbs and picked up an extra .5 inch. So, my baby is eating good!! They also indicated she has 2 bottom teeth. They are keeping a close watch on her language as she is not producing sounds and syllables like she should be at her age. The doctor indicated she needed to have that checked next month. So, I know that will be something we'll have to watch very closely. Hopefully she won't still be there next month...she'll be home with us!

Corbin Shower

I had a great time at my Corbin Shower. It was nice catching up with old friends and meeting some of mom's new co-workers. I got lots of new, fun stuff that Kelsey will LOVE. Charlene and Joy did a great job making me feel very special. Thanks girls!!

Here are the gifts.

Food table and cake.


Hand-made blanket from Lori.

Gift certificate! I get to go shopping, again.

This is her outfit we will bring her home in...isn't it just adorable?

EP!! EP!!

Today Kelsey's emigrant permit (EP) was approved!! Yea, another step closer. Now, Holt Korea will return P3 or Packet 3. Once that has been returned she will have her visa interview scheduled. That is the last step. So, I'm hoping we are about a week away from getting a visa. Then, we'll just be waiting for our travel call!!!
