living the life. enjoying the journey

We get to send off a care package today!!! We are sending:
1) A photo album of our family- we have had this ready for 6 months now...I had to update a bit.
2) A magnifying glass-Noah picked this (we left the tag on that says not to look into direct sunlight...hoping she doesn't burn her eyeballs out...)
3) Tooth brush and tooth paste-Trisha told me she would help teach Maree to brush her teeth!!!
4) Necklace & bracelet- Wuby made these yesterday when we were working on "patterns"
5) Fisher Price educational song player
6) Bouncy ball
7) Size 4T shirt
8) Pink backpack (to store all of her stuff)
9) Recorder- Carter picked this one!
ALL packed into a gallon sized ziplock bag!!

2 BFAS families are traveling 2 weeks to pick their children up!!! Trisha (my hero) will be delivering our care package for us along with some puzzles and a puzzle stand to donate to the orphanage!! (There are 8 here and I plan to send 4 more later!) I am so excited!!! It felt so good to be able to send something!!! Trisha also made my day when she said she would help teach Maree to brush her teeth while she is there! (Did I mention she is my hero?!!!) I can't thank Trisha enough!!!
Here is a picture of the shirt in Maree's care package on Wuby. We hope that maybe Maree will be wearing it in some of the pictures that families take as they travel so we can get a good idea of how big she is and what sizes I need to stock up on!
We are still waiting on medical information and a name...I am hoping we will hear by Monday at the latest. We were originally told it should be 1 day-1 week but others have waited an average of 12 days...so I am holding the crazy back until then (day 13).
