The Care Package

We have finally put together a little care package for Mackenzie. We aren’t supposed to send much, but we wanted her to have some things!

So we got some disposable cameras, and a little picture album, with pictures of us in it. A little stuffed hello kitty, a small blanket, some bubbles, a birthday dress from my mom, and some candy for the nannies at the orphanage. We will send her a cake in a few weeks for her birthday.
I love the way the photo album turned out. We found the chinese characters online, and put them with the appropriate pictures. I am hoping that her nannies will show and read them to her.

    Oh, sniff sniff, SOB! This truly touches my heart! When I think about Mackenzie seeing her Mommy and Daddy for the first time, I can barely stand it. May she understand quickly that she is loved and greatly anticipated! What a beautiful care package. Katie had that same photo album and LOVED it — that's how she learned the names of all of her many uncles. I'm sure Mackenzie will also love hers. And how thoughtful of you to send a gift for the adults. So sweet.So excited for you guys!!!
