We took Nana and Granddad to Fritz's tonight, the choo-choo restaurant. Granddad and Neylan had never been. Isn't he a cute conductor?

We wanted to show our first-time guests a real part of the city. So, we took the tour of Hallmark this morning. Grayson did a great job hanging in there while the rest of us took our time. So, when we got to the part of the tour where he could do something, he was all over it. He made everyone a little bow to put on a gift.
Then we were off to the rainforest exhibit in the mall.
Grayson tried his hand at pulling himself up a tree rope. With a little help, he made it- multiple times!
June 30
We had a full day with Nana, Granddad, Uncle Chris, and Aunt Linda. We started at Legends doing some shopping and then to Cabela's to see the animals. Grayson hasn't been here since he was just a few days old. He loved it this time.
Neylan hung out in the carrier for a few minutes before falling asleep for the remainder of the tour
After nap, it was time for another birthday party. They each got a cool gift. Neylan got a barn full of stuffed farm animals that make sounds.
Grayson got a cool Mickey Mouse choo-choo train. He was so excited and played all night with it.
June 29
We had family arrive today to meet Neylan for the first time. So, what better way to welcome them than with ice cream at one of our favorite places on a night that was no less than 98 degrees!
Is this boy not the cutest? We found out he does not like ice cream though!

Ready for school. Grayson found his stocking cap, put it on, and said he was ready. Never mind that it's already 80 degrees outside at 8:30 in the morning!

Bedtime snack- oranges! Adam said they were both slurping the juice so loudly it was getting to him. I could hear them chweing and slurping all the way in the kitchen. They really enjoyed it, though.

Headed to the park!! The first wagon ride of the summer. Neylan liked it.
And, boy does he LOVE swinging!!!

Out for a stroll to the park in our new big ride
It glides so smoothly that it will put your right to sleep. This actually made this trip possible as I took both boys to the park by myself. Grayson and I were able to play while Neylan slept the whole time.
June 21
You caught me! But, I didn't start it. That other boy did.
Grayson went back to daycare today. (HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!) And since we were gone for his birthday, they had a little party for him and he got a present- this cute Elmo backpack.

Happy First Birthday, Little Guy!! So glad to have you home. You are absolutely adorable!
After dinner and cupcakes we let the boys play outside in the water. Although it wasn't Grayson's birthday, he played in his birthday suit!
June 19
Happy Father's Day!
Unfortunately, Daddy's day was less than exciting. Mommy and the boys just couldn't get it together in time. Adam did get to play his first volleyball game tonight, so we went on our first family outing with Neylan. He played for a long time in the sand and had no problems. He likes sand, but can't stand grass!! He was also quite the little social butterfly as he crawled over to different people and climbed up on them. No stranger anxiety here.

"I hold you" Grayson said to Minseok. This picture just cracks me up. Grayson definitely knows who's the "baby" in the family now, but I don't think he's quite realized that Neylan is his size!
Kristi and Eli headed back to TN today. She was a big help during our first few days at home and Grayson loved having Eli around to play with.
Tonight, we had more company. More friends brought over pizza and helped cut down a tree that fell while we were gone. We let all the boys play outside while we had dinner. We looked out the window at one point and saw three little monkeys standing in the water table.

Tonight we attempted a family photo shoot since Kristi is a fabulous photographer and she is only here for one more day. We went to a beautiful park. It was extrememly humid and Neylan was very tired. So, some of the pictures we got were, umm, not frameable or mantle quality. There were a few that might be able to be salvaged with some good editing. I will post those when Kristi is finished doctoring them.

Well, today did not go as planned. We got up and out the door as early as possible to go to the farm. Ten minutes after we got there, they closed the place down because of a lightning warning and approaching thunderstorm. So, this was the only picture we got. We will have to try again another day.
Kristi's one request for a dinner out was BBQ. And we knew exactly where to take her. We had a great meal and finished it off with ice cream.
We also threw in a small birthday celebration/ gift opening. The boys got really cute shirts (which I failed to get a picture of) and Neylan got a great book on adoption.
June 15
We're home. After one VERY long day of traveling, we pulled in the driveway at 1:30 this morning. And then our first visitors arrived at 10:30. Two of our favorite friends in all of Europe, Kristi and Eli are here for a weekend visit. It didn't take long after everyone woke up (at 11:30) for Grayson to start asking to go outside and play in the water. So, we did. And Neylan loved it! We actually ended up outside twice today.
Grayson and Eli hanging out in the little pool. I think it's time for an upgrade to something a bit bigger.

It's official. We have 2 toddlers. And I'm exhausted already!! But feeling very blessed.
Minseok has done a lot of chasing grayson around the room by crawling after him. It is so funny to watch. I really think Grayson is scared of him.

The only picture taken today while we were out and about shopping at Insadong. I'm not even sure what this is supposed to be or mean.

Tonight we went to Seoul tower. We planned it so that we could see the city during the daylight as well as when the lights came on at night. Seoul is HUGE and just goes on and on and on.
Around the top of the tower the distances to cities all over the world are listed on the windows
To get to the top of the tower, you take the worlds fastest (or so they say) elevator. It had a movie playing on the ceiling while you ride. It was pretty cool.

We met our precious boy today! And Grayson met his brother on his birthday!
White out at the playground the other day, an older lady was "exercising". Today when we went over, grayson went straight for the equipment and began exercising, just as she had done. So observant!
