A Glance and a Change

The past seven days have been full of family and a bit of scheming.

Giddiness, wonder, pure contentment. A few words that try to describe what it feels like to hold this sleeping baby.

Besides our countless cell phone photos, we set aside time to try and take some nice pictures of Emmett. I haven't been able to sort through them all yet, but my sister and I are both confident there are several adorable shots. I thought having such a squirmy subject would be a challenge. But throughout our morning photoshoot, my nephew was remarkably calm, rolling about and looking around curiously at his mom, the camera and me.

This week had some scheming and surprise too. Isaac flew into town and I stealthily picked him up from the airport on Wednesday. After arriving home in Columbia, the two of us shared some big news. We are moving to America. To Louisville, Kentucky. Next week.

Although it was a tough secret to keep, it was worth the wait to see the looks of surprise and happiness on my parents' faces. To tell them now, after almost a week of new grandparent bliss.

I'd love to share more about what led up to this moment, but there is just too much left to be done. Packing, planning, finding somewhere to live in a place neither of us has ever visited. Spending more time with family and baby.

It's a new beginning and we are both happy and excited to embrace it. Needless to say, future posts will probably look a bit different. Less Korean and more.. horsey? I'm pretty sure I knew more about Korea before moving there than I do about the state of Kentucky now.

Despite this change, I will continue writing here and sharing about life and fun things we encounter. So please bear with me and my splotchy updates. Once settled down, let's return to learning and considering things new and old. But first, more boxes.
