A Special Delivery

We received a special package in the mail....a package all the way from Korea!!! If you remember when we traveled to bring Jaelah home, we met our sweet guide Seoyoung. She was so sweet and treated us to a day of fun, culture, shopping, and lunch. She even visited us at our hotel room after we picked up Jaelah with a little gift. Oh, and she was very smitten with this little man.....Seoyoung attends college in the US. We have corresponded with her on facebook and through emails since coming home. We had sent her some pictures of the kids and she sent us a reply asking us for our address. You see she was returning to Korea for the holidays and wanted to send us something special. And this is what came....
It's Pororo!!!!!! If you know anything about Korea and children in Korea you know who Pororo is!!! He's this sweet little guy who has other friends and ALL the kids in Korea love him. He even has his own tv show. Well, when we were with Seoyoung for the day I had mentioned that because of Jaelah's age we were searching for some Pororo stuff for her, you know so some things would be familiar to her. That day we never found anything Pororo (although we found other stuff at Namdeum market that we did end up buying) and Seoyoung had felt bad about it.

And this is why I LOVE the people of Korea......because 7 months later this very thoughtful college student went home and remembered that we were looking for this cute little penquin to make our daughter's transition just a little bit easier. And she sent it to us!!!! With the sweetest note inside.

And this little package made 2 little ones very very happy!!!!

Jaelah yelled PORORO and hugged that little penquin extra tight.

To think that a young girl half a world away that we had spent only one day out of entire lives with would think of our children and remember one little thing about that day and then act on it makes me tear up. But through our experience this is the type of people in this magical land.

We feel blessed to have Seoyoung in our lives. Our children should feel blessed to be so loved and cherished by such a thoughtful friend.
