All we need is Max to make the nursery complete

We have finished the nursery a few weeks ago.  I am pretty happy with how it turned out.  We just need to install the new light fixture and I may hang the comforter on the wall, just not sure how to go about it.

On the changing table I put the wall decals that I bought, they were meant for the wall...but they didn't stick, so I put them on the changing table, they were too cute not to use.

Some of my favorite things in the room....

I know there is carpet in the room...but the rug was too cute to pass up, and it makes a little reading area in front of the bookcase.

This does not go with the theme...but I found this cute Pororo table at H-Mart when I went to Atlanta in January... we made it fit in my suitcase so I could bring it home.  For those who don't know, Pororo is a really popular cartoon in Korea,  Maybe like D*ra is here...I had to get this in particular, since Mark is such an ice fisherman.  I hope it helps to make Max more comfortable in our home.  I can just picture my little guy having a snack with his buddy Pororo...soon, very soon.

Visa Physical Scheduled

Max will have his Visa Physical on March 23rd.  Next week Wednesday!  We could get our travel call anytime after that day!

We know for sure we won't get the call until he has  this appointment.  We can relax and take a break for a few days.  The previous batch of physicals were on March 3rd, many of those families got their travel calls yesterday.  So if you apply the same timeline...we would get our travel call on April 4th!

I feel like I did a few weeks before our wedding...you know the time when you just want to run away to Vegas and just get married already...Only this time I want to run to Korea and get Max already!

Hang on Max...we will be there soon!

Close...but no Cigar...YET! (EP Approved!)

We were approved for Max's Emmigration Permit (EP) this was the last major thing we needed.  This is the Korean Governments go ahead that Max may leave Korea and become a permanent resident of the US.  There are a few "housekeeping" items that need to be finished up on the Korea side.

* Visa physical (VP) this is to say Max is healthy enough to fly.
* Visa Interview: Apparently this is where they interview the immigrant as to why they want to leave the country...I wonder what he will say?  In all reality, they need to check to make sure there is a live human attached to all of the paperwork.
*Embassy Appearance:  Fancy way of saying passport photo and issuance of one way passport.
* TRAVEL CALL: This is when they call and say all of the above ducks are finally in a row...and we hop a plane to Korea.

Our best guess and what our agency is predicting is travel call in about 3 weeks!  Whatever information we get we will certainly share.


We are nearing the end of this marathon...we reached mile 25...this is the point that you will make it on adrenaline alone, you can crawl the rest if you must, limping and gimping...we can nearly see the finish line. And we are so ready to go and get our little boy and be a family of 3...that is when the real race starts....especially since Max is walking 100% independently!
