As I'm sure you can imagine, the past 24 hours have been nothing short of a whirlwind at the Olson house! Thanks to a wonderful travel agent, we were able to book our flights to Seoul with no problems. It was so nice to let someone else take care of the details, because I was not even close to thinking straight! It still hasn't really sunk in, that in just 19 hours we will be on our way to get Graham! We leave Minneapolis tomorrow morning and fly to Chicago, then directly to Seoul. We land in Seoul on Saturday night and will have Sunday to explore. Monday morning at 10:00 (Sunday, 8 pm, Minneapolis time) we get to meet Graham!!!! At that time, we'll also get more details about the rest of the time we're there.
In the midst of our crazy day yesterday, we also received the translated update on Graham, and we're thrilled to report that he's doing just great! There has been lots of discussion regarding Graham and his "healthy eating habits" which result in his seemingly large size. Well, as of the end of August, he was approximately 18 pounds. Still not small by any means, but definitely not the "supersize" baby we were imagining carrying home! We also found out that he "babbles constantly", "likes to listen to children's music", "has a lot of curiosity about new toys", "likes to push his walker around ", and "yells when he's in a good mood"...it sounds like he's got quite the personality! We are soooooooo anxious to actually get him into our arms!
This will be the last update for a day or two, the next one will come from Seoul! Check back often, we'll add lots of pictures and keep everyone posted of whats going on.
Hopefully, we'll see lots of you on Thursday when we arrive back in Minneapolis!
