Happy 7 months Jae-min!!!

Oh, this is getting hard. Today Jae-min turned 7 months old. It's just a little reminder of how much he's growing and changing and we're missing it. We've been working hard on clearing out his room and tonight Joe put up a ceiling light for him. It looks great!!
We also got him an outfit and I made chocolate chip cookies to celebrate. We wish it could be different. We wish we had him in our arms tonight but we don't so we'll make the most of it. So we'll raise a cookie in honor of our sweet Jae-min!!! Oh, how badly do we want you home.
I'll leave you with a poem I found that I have on my nightstand and read before I fall asleep. Tonight is a great night to share it (and maybe you can say it too)

May you be safe while you are waiting

May you be safe and sleep soundly through the night
May you be safe as you wake in morning light
May you feel our love from so far away
May it comfort and protect you throughout the day

We will pray for you, our little one
Until our time of waiting is done
We will pray that the Lord will keep you safe from harm
Until the child of our hearts becomes the child in our arms.
