Our wee babe is 7 months old today!
We wish were with him now but we know in time we will be.
It seemed fitting that today we packed up his little care package which Lisa and Jason have so graciously offered to take with them when they go to Ethiopia to bring home their two wee ones(which could be as soon as next week - Yahooooo to you guys!) We have never met them in person but this is the kindness that adoptive parents embody!!

They are with the same agency as us and it rocks that they allow families to do this for each other!!!!!
We are so thrilled and can't put into words how much it means to us that you are doing this for us.
We are even more thrilled that your journey is almost at its end and you will soon be united with your 2 beautiful children!
Here are a few photos of the package we put together!!
We put in 2 little sleepers, 2 little blankets, a chewable picture book, and 2 little toys
Isn't this picture book great! I was looking for one just like this and couldn't find one. Then my sweet, sweet friend Hazel sent us this in the mail!
Perfecto! Thanks Hazel!!! We love it!
We are holding it up to the world map by Ethiopia :)...we are so sappy!
Happy 7 months baby Ade!!!
*edit* - I have come back to read this post again and again! I CAN NOT believe we are sending a care package! It makes me all weepy and such!
