Thanksgiving with our adopted family

We feel so lucky to always be surrounded by amazing friends who quickly become family. I don't know if this is because we live abroad but it definately is an awesome thing!

Going Home!

So happy to head home the day before Thanksgiving. So much to be thankful for!

Ripley was admitted to the NICU because he was so big. I guess they aren't used to big American babies in Korea!

He is totally healthy, probably the most healthy baby in the NICU and certainly the biggest!

Welcome Baby Russell!

Welcome to the world, Ripley Wood O'Rourke Russell! Born at Severance Hospital in Seoul, Korea on November 24, 2013 at 5:08pm.

Publishing Party

Teddy and his class had their first book publishing party on Friday. All of the kids wrote and illustrated books. Teddy's book was about visiting the baby birds in the woods at Tunxis with Papa!

Seoul Museum of Art

We made a brief stop at the Seoul Museum of Art branch in our neighborhood to check out the new children's exhibit hall.

The boys enjoyed making a robot out of blocks and looking at the modern art!

Seoul Lantern Festival

We had an amazing night at the Seoul Lantern Festival! This was different from the Lantern Festival in Taipei because it was on the water but it was so fun to see something truly Korean. This might be our last big sightseeing trip before the baby is born.
