We made it!


After 45 hours of traveling, we arrived in Korea!

Rapid City, SD airport

Our super traveling baby

We missed our first flight to Seoul and 
I'm not very excited about it 

Crossing the Pacific

Almost there

Waiting for the bus to Osan AB.  We made it!  
And reunited with all our stuff: 
5 suitcases, one stroller, and one carseat.  
We also had 4 carry-ons and a babydoll. :)

Koreans LOVE babies.  Especially Western babies!  
Aliza is already a big hit.  


This lady had just come inside from vacuuming the sidewalk outside the building.  So clean!!

Our American Cutie in Korea!  
Check out Aliza's knees.  We have a hardcore crawler!  
Her poor knees are covered with bruises.   


Up next: 
We found a place to live, a great church, and bought a car!

Preparing to Move...

We had a few weeks at home before we moved to Korea 
and they were busy!

We went for one more hike in the Hills


Aliza got to meet her new friend, Maggie

Playing with Daddy's, Mommy's, and her own undies 
all at the same time!

Mommy and Daddy packed, cleaned, and prepped the
