Like Father, Like Son

Last week, we got to send Levi a care package. I know what you are thinking....a suitcase full of toys, books, clothes etc? I wish, but no. After reading the fine print from our agency, I realized all the items had to fit in a single one gallon ziplog bag! Now, I enjoy a good shopping challenge, but this was going to prove difficult even for this retail professional.

Adam said he wanted to send Levi some "manly clothes". I wasn't sure what this meant. Camoflauge? Work boots? What exactly does a six month old "man" wear?


Then, I remembered . Adam is not a fan of the pastel boys baby clothes with ducks and bunnies on them. And quite frankly, I don't blame him. So, I headed off to Old Navy and bought Levi an outfit just like his daddy wears to work every day. Khaki pants and a Polo shirt. (As a side note, Adam gets all embarrassed if he and I end up wearing even the same color to church on Sunday, but you should have seen him beaming at the idea of him and Levi with matching outfits.) LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON!

Who knew a ziplock could hold so much stuff and still close? I even managed to throw in a few gifts for Levi's foster mom like jewelry and scented lotion. And next time I will be prepared because I'm already shopping for the next care package!

It's a BOY!

That's right people....it's a BOY! We have a son, and we are IN LOVE!!!

His name is Levi Thomas Parang Williams. He was born on November 25, 2009 and weighed a little over 6 pounds at birth. The name Parang was given to him by his birth mom and means "blue" in Korean. We have chosen to name him Levi which means "attached" and attached we are!

Thank you to all who have held us up in prayer, and please continue to do so. We have a lot of work yet before we can bring our precious Levi home. Stay tuned to the blog for updates!

Can you dig it?!!

My father-in-law, Tom, turned the big 6-0 on May 1st! We spent the weekend celebrating the decade of the 60's complete with tie dye shirts, platform shoes, and sayings like "Groovy man!" and "Can you dig it?" There's nothing like walking into a five star restaurant looking like you came straight from Woodstock. We got a few awkward,uncomfortable stares but mostly just smiles and applause. Too bad some of us are too young to remember the sixties...seems like a fun decade filled of flower power and world peace! Happy Birthday Tom!
