Welcome to Our Big Fat Canadian Family, Luke!

Welcome to our big fat Canadian family, Luke!

After waiting for more than six long years, our niece has finally gotten her second child home!
They were a happy family of three.  Now theirs is a typical North American family of four:
a father, mother and two kids family, also what we call a million dollar family composed of two parents, a boy and a girl.

J. and her husband applied to adopt a child from Korea through an adoption agency in Ontario. After waiting for quite some time, they finally got words that there would be a child for them in Korea. Both excited parents got  pictures of their soon to be adopted son and flew to Korea in November to sign all the paperwork and to meet him for the first time.

Enjoying a dim sum brunch with family
J. and M. came home with their new son in early January and we met him for the first time this morning at a dim sum brunch.

 Luke, (the name J. and her husband gave to their 13 month old adopted son) is a smart good looking toddler who looks happy all the time.






Luke always has a smile for the camera


Apparently, Luke must have had a lot of experience with the camera. It was almost his second nature to flash us a huge grin anytime we pointed our ipad at him trying to take a picture.









Luke is a happy little tot





He is an adorable little kid who brings a lot of joy to his new family and anyone who happens to be around him.

As adults, we often forget the little things in life that make us smile and feeling happy.

The happy tot has a healthy appetite!











Looking at Luke and observing his innocent little face, the way his eyes lit up when his mom gave him his drinking cup, the happiness that radiated from him when picking up cereal with his chubby little fingers and enjoying them wholeheartedly,  gave us this fuzzy warm feeling inside.


I love my yummy yummy cereal!




It has been so long ago since we had little babies in our house that we have forgotten the immense pleasure and joy the little ones used to bring us.





Luke and Mommy!





Little Luke re awakens in us the great feelings we get from just observing and being around tiny tots and the joy of parenthood!





Welcome to the family, Luke!


Welcome, Luke, to your big fat Canadian family! To you, we may be a bunch of strangers for now. You will get to know us better in the future.

We love you!
