Introducing...

Lanyah EunHei~ 

Born April 21, 2010

Placed in our arms Dec. 22, 2010

Lanyah (Pronounced La-Nigh-Ah) means Sunshine and Happiness, a person who is bright and joyous.

Eun (Pronounced like the first sound in "uno") means Mercy

Hei (Pronounced "hey") means Wisdom

{EunHei is her given Korean name}

We will call her Nyah for short.

Nyah is a very social, cheerful little girl.  She has lots of smiles and giggles for her daddy and her big brother.  She is constantly moving.  She is crawling and almost walking at 8 months.  She is going to keep us all on our toes! 

She loves to eat... she has not met a food that she does not like.  She is never more excited then when there is food in front of her!  

Lanyah adores her big brother and often cries when he leaves the room.  Kyan is taking the big bro role seriously and enjoys being a big helper to mommy and daddy.  However, he does not want her to touch any of his tractors!

All in all we are settling in nicely in the Norman home!   Our house is full and so are our hearts!

We're home!

We are home!  We are Happy!  We are TIRED!!  But mostly happy! 

We had a WONDERFUL Christmas morning together just the 4 of us!  We will update soon with pictures! 

We're going to Korea!!

We got our travel call yesterday!  We get to bring Baby Girl home before Christmas!  AMAZING!  God is so good!  It truly is a CHRISTmas miracle! 

We get to celebrate Christmas as a family this year!  What a Blessing!  Praise the Lord! 

We have lots to do to get ready!  Kyan is staying with Mima and Peepa so, he will be a happy camper. 

We are staying at the guest house at the agency in Korea and we get to meet our little girl on Monday at 1:00 (Korean Time)

We will be Cocooning like we did when Kyan came home for a week.... and also having Jason and I hold her for the 1st month or so, depending on how the bonding is going.   Here is the post I wrote about that last time - we are going to do the same thing.

Update on Baby Girl!

We got an update on Baby Girl last week!  It totally unexpected and wonderful.  We got pictures and video of our daughter.  It was so fun  to see her moving and hear her little voice and laugh.  Kyan LOVES to watch the "Baby Sister movies"  He asks often "When is Baby Sister coming to Ky-Guy's house?"  Soon- I hope!  We still do not have a date or a real time line of when we are traveling.

I called the USCIS officer that is in charge of our paper work for Jason and I to get cleared to bring Baby Girl home.  She said she already processed our paper work and we should get our notice in about a week!  This is a HUGE answer to prayer.  We did not want our paper work holding us up from bringing her home.  Now, we wait for her paper work to be cleared. 

Also with all the goings-on in North and South Korea we are more anxious then ever to bring her home before it gets really ugly over there.  Our agency has been in contact with the Korean agency the all is well with our Baby and our process... at this point it is not effecting it.  But if it gets worse it could!  Just another thing to add to our prayer list:  Bring our Baby home soon, and help North Korea keep it cool!
