8.29.12 This was taken just before we boarded our big beast of a plane leaving home and headed to Seoul, South Korea.
We had enjoyed a quick bite and were walking around the airport killing time and texting with Kennedy in between her classes. I had to get a screen shot of this from the Pook's phone because we just laughed our tails off at their humor that morning. They had a good time giving each other "updates" throughout the morning.
This was taken while in my coveted seat and still at the gate waiting for taxi and take off. We were completely giddy over the fact that the ticket agent had offered us exit row seats for our 15 hour flight. :) And yeah. I just needed a shot commemorating all of that glorious legroom. Uh Mazing.
9.3.12 Gabe's first dinner with us and probably his first taste of Americana...KFC. We had received him that morning and come back to the hotel for the afternoon. Our guide, Michael, took us to KFC for dinner and we were happy to introduce Gabe to some french fries! He ate it up. :)
On 9.5, we walked a few blocks to the local Wal-Mart and I carried Gabe in a Boba that I borrowed from Mattie. It worked great and he did so well. He fell asleep on our walk back to the hotel and Jase snagged this shot in the lobby.
Jase took these on September 6th and posted them like this on Facebook with a caption that read, "Not only has Gabe overcome numerous odds to be here with us, he is also showing remarkable signs of heightened intelligence!"
Later that same night, Gabe decided to get into my suitcase and put my underwear on his head while we Facetimed with the girls. Funny boy. The girls were loving this.
More lovin' from the other side...
On the way home from the airport on 9.13 at 9pm. We were all exhausted but so happy to be home. Gabe laughed with his siblings for about 10 minutes and then conked out. Who could blame him? It was a miserable day up to that point and so much must have been going on in his little mind. He dealt with it in the best way...sound sleep.
So there you have it. The missing photos that I just couldn't part with. We love you, sweet Gabe and we want to remember every bit of our time with you in China. :)

Gabe, today I met you for the first time and I was so excited and distracted by your presence that I totally forgot to take a picture or video of you. You see, I have one of the first time your brother Joel came up to the church office. I look at it from time to time and think how awesome it was that he was here. I sent that to your mommy and daddy so they would have it and I promise I will get one of you too! Welcome sweet Gabe and nice work kicking that football today :)
So smart that you did this. I never went back and put our cell phone pics on the blog and consequently forgot! They never made it into the blog book (although, luckily, we've kept Shutterfly is business with lots of other books.)
