We've come a long way, baby!

In Korea, parents often mark the 100th day of a child's life with a huge party including gifts and feasting. This began in ancient Korea when the infant death rate was very high, and a newborn surviving the first 100 days was cause for celebration. Now, the ceremony continues as a way of remembering the blessing of the child and the joy he brings.

We marked Levi's 100th day home on June 8th. But, instead of the traditional Korean rice cakes, we celebrated with chocolate cake topped with cream cheese icing. Levi went to town on the sweet indulgence. He kept looking at us puzzled as if to say, "You are really letting me do this?!!"

We've come a long way from the first night in the hotel room in Seoul where Levi cried continuously and could not be comforted. God is so good!

Levi, you are our precious son and the apple of our eye. Thank you for enriching our lives and bringing us such happiness! Happy 100th day!
