Iron Pigs Game

We had been looking forward to going to an Iron Pigs game for some time now. Tonight we finally were able to go.

We met Jesse, Dave and Carol at our seats in the right field stands.

About the 5th inning, we took Chase to get his first ice cream helmet.

On the way out of the stadium, the ball girls were throwing soft Iron Pigs balls out into the stands. Jay was determined to get Chase a ball so he ran down the stands to get closer to the ball girls. When he came back, he had a ball in his hand and immediately gave it to Chase.

Chase held onto the ball the entire ride home.

Thanks Jesse, Dave and Carol for a fun Sunday afternoon of baseball.

Perkasie Wading Pool

To cool off from the summer heat, Amy took Chase to the Perkasie wading pool. Barb, Gwen, Addison and Braydon also came to enjoy some fun in the water.

Freddy Hill Fun

This afternoon, Amy and Chase went with Barb, Gwen, Addison and Braydon to Freddy Hills Farm to play a round of mini golf.

Halfway through the course, the children had to take a break to look at the ducks in the water.

It seemed like no one explained the rules of golf to the children as they all had their own way of playing.


Chase simply enjoyed putting the ball in the hole…and even that seemed hard to do.

At one point in the game, Chase found another hole to put the ball through. Thank goodness for Barb who came to the rescue to save the day.

After the round of golf, the children had some delicious ice cream.

Chase really loves ice cream.

Calvary Chapel Of Quakertown Picnic

Today we went to the Molasses Creek Park for the Calvary Chapel of Quakertown picnic. It seemed like the entire church showed up to eat, play games and socialize.

Chase especially loved playing in the baby pool.

When it was time to clean up, Chase found the ice that was dumped and had himself an afternoon snack.

What a fun afternoon!

Chase's Adoption Finalization

Today is a big day…Chase will finally be a Gardocki! Chase arrived on October 26, 2010 and immediately became part of our family. However, as mandated by the South Korean government, we were required to wait 6+ months before the adoption became final. Today is the day!

This morning, we woke up, had breakfast and got Chase slightly dressed for the ride to the Bucks County Court House for our 9:45 am hearing.
When we arrived, we got Chase completely dressed and walked to the court house.
Inside the court house, we met other friends and family members and had to wait until our hearing began.

Chase was very excited because he got a new toy car from Luke.

We were not allowed to have cameras inside the court room, but after the hearing we were able to get a photo of the Gardocki family with the judge.

We are please to introduce you to Chase Il-Wu Gardocki.

We then celebrated the day by having brunch at the Duck Deli.

As you can see, Chase really enjoyed his meal.

He also enjoyed the ice cream treat.

Outside, Chase got to open a few gifts…he loves toy cars and trucks!

Ecstatic, we drove home and had some family photos taken.

WE LOVE YOU, CHASE!!!
