Care Package & play date

Well, there's nothing new to report on the I-171H or the PA. Neither of them is here and I'm just bummed about that. I'm trying to remember that "patience is a virtue" and just deal with it. It will all happen in God's timing and His timing is always perfect.

I'm focusing my attention right now on preparing a care package to send to Macey via another mom, Tamera Wong, who is fortunate to be traveling in the next 3-4 weeks. Her daughter's care has also been overseen by Fuzhou SWI so she will get to meet Director Zhou when she receives her angel. Tamera will deliver for me a package for Dir. Zhou and the nannies and a separate package to be given to Macey's foster family. The package for the SWI contains a letter thanking them for all they have done for my daughter-to-be and some chocolate candy and Jelly Bellies. I hear they love Jelly Bellies and they cannot get them in China. I hope they enjoy it.

In the package for Macey, I'm sending a stuffed frog (it's super cute) and a really soft blanket that says "Sweet Baby Girl" on it. I'm also sending some animal crackers for them to share. But the two most important things are: 1) a disposable camera for them take to take pictures of her, her first home, and foster family for us to treasure forever and 2) a photo album full of pictures of me, Kevin and Lena so she'll know what we look like and hopefully recognize us when we finally meet.

Here's a picture of the blanket and the frog:





I pray she gets them and loves them!

On a fun note, Lena and I are going for a play date Saturday morning. This wonderful lady named Carol, who I met through another family at church who is adopting a baby from China, has two daughters from China who are close to Lena's age. We are going to their house to visit and play. I'm really looking forward to it.

More later, hopefully good news about PA and I-171h!
