Both Alex and Teague stayed in their pajamas until after their nap – 3:30ish. I can’t even say that no one saw them. We spent most of the morning outside playing in front of our house, but it seemed mean to make them go inside just for clothes.
We’ve been working with Alex to bow his head and close his eyes while saying the blessing before dinner. When we sat down tonight he looked at Teague (who is wearing an eye patch – one hour a day per his foster mother’s instructions) and pointed out that Teague only had to close one eye….
Alex woke up at his normal 7 am and we went to play with Gam (who had to play too because she was sleeping on the couch). Teague woke up at 8 and Wade joined us all for the meeting of brothers. (We also got a morning delivery of a fruit bouquet just in time…

Student volunteers took us to Gyeongbokgung – a palace near our hotel, Insadong (a street market), and lunch in a Korean restaurant (Wade chose Bee Bim Bop with octopus). I hadn’t realized how many families would be traveling at the same time (normally it is…
The flight from Milwaukee to Minneapolis went pretty quickly. The four hour layover was horrible. Then we boarded the flight for Japan. I watched three movies, finished my book, ate two dinners, ate one breakfast, and managed to sleep a few hours. When I wasn’t watching a movie I enjoyed tracking our progress on my…
