We got to see Simon again yesterday (It's Friday am here). He had his pre-flight physical and was said to be in perfect health. He still was not so fond of us. We got to play with him and hold him a bit. He cried for a while I held him, then he eventually wore himself out and fell asleep. Both the foster mom and foster dad were at the visit yesterday. They clearly love him very much. They also brought us several gifts. They gave us Hanbok's (traditional Korean costumes) for Simon and for Anna (she will be in her glory all dressed up), a pendant for Simon, a ton of photos of him, and a few other little things. We pick him up for good today at 3:00 - I think it will be a long night. Here are some photos from our day.

Joel loves grocery shopping here too! :-)
I don't know if we will be able to update again from here. We are running out this morning to do a bit more shopping and things will probably be a bit nutty tonight trying to pack and take care of Simon. We leave for the airport tomorrow morning at 8:00am and take off about noon. We have had a great time, but are both feeling ready to come home.
