We have now spent the last day and a half with our daughter Yunji in Seoul. It has been great getting to know her. We have taken long walks in the neighborhood together, eaten in a couple of restaurants, and just spent time being close.

Yunji is still rather distant with us. She doesn't smile much, and cries most of the time when she is awake. She is not eating as much as we would expect her to. We are sure it is just because she doesn't know or love us yet, but it is difficult for us. We just need to continue to show her our love, and give her everything that she needs.

Lisa is doing a fantastic job as a new mother. Yunji is really only happy when she is on Lisa's back, walking around outside. Whenever Lisa sits or lies down for a rest, Yunji gets fussy. All of those years of backpacking in Alaska and Mt. Hood are starting to pay off for her.

We are enjoying our last couple of days in Seoul, and are looking forward to our return to Oregon.
