Cedar is HOME!!!!!

WwwwwooooooooOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!

We are HOME!

Your good wishes and prayers must have been heard, as the plane trip was all peaches and cream. Cedar HyunSoo is just such a good little baby. He cried less than two minutes the entire flight, and that was because his parents aren't trained well yet. :) Several Korean grandmothers, and his own American grandparents, helped us along the way. Korean airport security folks, customs agents, immigration, and just about every Korean on the plane (men and women) also flirted with HyunSoo at one time or another.

Steve, Jeanine and Alison picked us up in SeaTac -- a joyful reunion! Cedar met his future girlfriend, although we aren't sure that Alison is convinced of that yet.

The carseat was the next big challenge. Living in a city with an amazing mass transit system, we figure he probably has never been in a carseat before. He loves to be carried and snuggled, so sitting all alone in a carseat for the 90 minute trek from SeaTac was a whole new experience. Our little one did reasonably well in the carseat for about 90 minutes. Unfortunately, it turns out it's about a 95 minute trek home! After he regained his freedom from the carseat, he was back to being a happy boy. What a good kid we got!

So - home now, and YYYAAAAYYYY for grandma & grampa!!! Andy & Rebecca got a 4-hour nap while Grandma & Grampa took care of our sweet one. Also, BIG HUGS to friends and family too. We came home to a cooler full of dinners and homemade goodies, welcome banners, and some special treats for Cedar. Can't tell you how much it means to know that you all travelled with us, sharing our updates and our excitement. Thank you so, so much. Hard to put into words how much this means to us. It's been a journey of a lifetime, and we are only just beginning.....

Love, Andy & Rebecca

p.s. -- will post a few photos once we get the blurry out of our eyes

p.p.s. -- We are feeling brave! If you'd like to meet our sweet little one, just give us a call. We think we'll be ready for visitors Sunday afternoon.
