Care Package sealed with love followed by BLESSINGS in "jpeg" format

PHOTOS FROM THE CARE PACKAGE WE SENT TO HALLE-GRACE. The letter was translated, I have mastered the language yet!!
Yesterday I received a phone call from Nancy, our coordinator. Her voice had a tone of excitement...well, an extra bit of excitement! She has been an answer to our prayers throughout our journey to our daughter. She always knows the right thing to say and just how to calm my nerves when "mommy mode" kicks in. I can't describe my feelings... being on the other side of the world from my child. I know without a doubt that she is receiving the best care and she is loved, however, there is the "mom" in me that desires to provide for her every need.

Nancy's great news was NEW PHOTOS! When your child is in another country (12 hour time difference, a different language, different culture...the saying pictures are worth a thousand words is VERY TRUE!!! I cried on the phone as I was driving down the road in excitement to see how she had changed since the last photos. Now that is triple fear for on-coming traffic #1: talking on cell phone while driving, #2: crying, emotional "ELEPHANT MOM" (you know elephants carry their young for almost 2 years...the time of our adoption journey and counting) #3:trying to drive a little faster to make it to a place to get a wireless internet connection!!!

The photos are BEAUTIFUL, PRECIOUS, ADORABLE, simply the most ANGELIC vision I have ever laid eyes on (all of her photos have brought a huge CRY of joy...tears streaming, the whole nine yards). If someone is watching they probably think "oh, that poor woman is having such a bad day" and I am thinking "THANK YOU LORD"!!!

Thanks to the nannies and a very special someone on the west coast! "Thank you" cannot begin to describe my gratitude! Thuy, you are an angel!
