Care Package

With our LOA coming in on Monday, I had to bust a move to get Lia Kate's care package together so that it would actually make it to China before we do! I got it together and mailed it out today. The care package included a fleece-y outfit, pink socks, a giraffe lovey, a disposable camera (so that her nannies can take pictures of her for us), a photo album with pictures of us and her, a butterfly toy w/ wheels, stacking cups, two little books, and nuts for her nannies. I had to include things that I did not expect to ever see again ... just in case ... but I'm hoping at the very least she'll be able to look through the photo album so that she can recognize our faces on Gotcha Day.




I found a fleece outfit that I'm hoping the orphanage will dress her in . They like to keep them warm and bundled up in the winter. And I couldn't let a plain white shirt make its way out of my house, so Lia Kate's first appliqued shirt went out in her care package.


My favorite part of the care package, though, is this little photo album with pictures of the three of us and her, too.




It was surreal to put pictures of the three of us mixed in with pictures of Lia Kate. This child in a foreign land whom we don't even know is our daughter. Surreal.
