Today, my parents arrived from NC for a weekend visit. They brought gifts for the kids, as usual, and also had a wrapped present for Lainey! The card is addressed to her, and tells her that this is their 1st gift to her, how they can’t wait to meet her, and how anxious they are for that phone call from us telling them that she is ready to be picked up from China! The gift is an adorable mini Glo Worm! My oldest had one of these and loved it. This one WILL be making the trip to China! Thanks, Mom and Dad. Your support and excitement for our journey means a lot to us.
I also received my CCAI June/July Secret Pal gift today! The theme was “frames†and she sent an adorable flower/butterfly clip frame and a “Family†album frame on a stand. I love them both! She also (as usual) included sweets for the kids! Pop Rocks (they shared these with grandma and grandpa…what a riot that was!) and little bags of lemonade mix with gummy worms on top! I would have these in the picture, but the kids got to them before I could get the camera! Thanks, Secret Pal, for always remembering my kids. It means a lot to them! Here’s a picture of the great frames…

Awwww….your parents are so sweet to think of Lainey like that. I love it!
And as for the frames- they are soooo cute! Your secret pal has great taste!
Forgot to comment on the “monster trucks”, but I love the pictures! You’re right, the testosterone just JUMPS off the screen! :-)

That’s so sweet to acknowledge our gift on your web and how you said it was thank you enough…especially that the little “Lullabye glo worm” will be going to China to greet Lainey for the journey home. We’re glad for that in hopes that it will help to ease her anxieties and maybe lull her off to sleep. Things like this help to make the time go faster for the special photo in the mail and our phone call!! Love, Mom
