Our Heart's Have Fallen More In Love!!!!!

We arrived home tonight to the best picture ever!!! We have been wanting to see this image ever since the care package fiasco and have wondered frequently if Jae-min received it. Well, IT MADE IT and here he is:
I really didn't think he could get any cuter but again I was wrong. He is surrounded by all the stuff we sent him and look at that hat perched atop his cute little head. That's the hat I knitted myself and when I saw it on him I just bursted into tears!!! To think my hands made that and now its on his little head, well my heart just melted. Oh, this is too much. He's looking so healthy and strong, and chunky. We're still looking for his neck though Haha
This beautiful woman holding him so sweetly is his omma. Oh, she's gorgeous. Look at the love she has for him. You can just see it in her smile!! When I saw how she is looking at him I started to cry again. It's total proof that he's so well taken care of and loved. We are sooooooooooo grateful to this woman and now that we have a face to the word Omma it makes it ten times better. Thank you just doesn't seem enough.
We couldn't have asked for anything more today. To know his package made it there safely, to see him healthy, and to meet his omma is just more than we could wish for. This one little picture has made this very very real for me. I had dreamed of this picture and here it is!!! Jae-min, his omma, and this whole process really does exist, its not just a dream. WOW
I can't stop staring. We are truly lucky, blessed, and joyful that he was chosen as our son.
We love you sweet Jae-min!!!!!!!!
