Care Packages 2 & 3 and Baby Registry

I've put together care packages 2 & 3 to send to our precious Olivia. Below are pictures of her goodies. I'm also including some gifts for foster mom in these. In package 2, I've included a little digital camera (8megapixel Polaroid, reasonably priced - thank you Target!) with 2 memory cards and lots of extra AAA batteries. I've also written a letter to her that a friend's husband is going to translate for me (thanks Ari!). In package 3 is a slate trivet that was made in Boulder (I think) - found this at the Colorado store at the Castle Rock Outlets.

Pkg 2 - 2 socks, tank top, shorts, capri pants, 3 tops, 1 pj, and a toy.
Pkg 3 - 2 socks, 2 dresses with bloomers, tank top, capri pants, 1 pj, and a toy.

And today I finally started a baby registry at Pottery Barn Kids. My friends have been complaining that I'm buying too much stuff and there won't be anything left for them - I have the sweetest friends :) So today while at PBK, I resisted the urge to buy all the stuff I liked and instead created the registry. But I still bought some stuff on sale...what can I say...it was too cute!

USCIS Fingerprinting

We got our fingerprint letter for USCIS - we go on July 2 at 8am. That's all the news now. Working on a care package or 2 to send to Korea with our agency - they go on July 2 for three weeks. So hopefully by end of month we have new pictures and a video!!!

Update

The USCIS cashed our check yesterday! Hopefully we will receive our next fingerprinting letter by next week sometime. No other news on Olivia yet.

Dave is gone to Seattle to do some mountain climbing with his friends Joe and Susie. He'll be back next week, and then I'm off to the Bead & Button Show.

8 Month Bday and State Approval!

Olivia is 8 months old today!

We received our state approval today and our I-600 has been sent out. In 3-4 weeks we should receive an invitation to go for more fingerprinting!

Details

Ok - finally some details about our little Olivia. She was born September 24, 2009. Currently she weighs 8.95 kilograms (about 19.7 pounds) and is 69.8 cm tall (about 27.5 inches). She also has 3 teeth!

We also gave our agency the first care package to send Olivia. We were able to send 3 shirts, 2 pants, 3 socks, a photo album with pics of us, and 2 toys - all in a gallon zipper bag! I do hope the 12 month size clothes fit!


Last week on Thursday our acceptance package was sent to Korea and our state packet was going out on Friday. That's all we know so far, but I'm planning to check in tomorrow with our agency.

More Pictures!

Some more pictures of our beautiful daughter! These pictures were taken on April 30 when our US Agency was visiting our Korean agency. I still don't know what else to say...but I'll keep working on it.

Olivia

Yesterday, Dave and I accepted our referral and welcomed little Olivia Marie EunJae West in to our lives. She is 7.5 months old and perfect, beautiful, wonderful - everything!

We are so very excited and I'm posting her referral picture her to be seen. More to come - as soon as I have time and can think of something to say - besides perfect, beautiful, wonderful :) But really what else is there?
