We sent our first care package to Hannah's orphanage last week. Our new friend, Nan, translated our letter into Chinese for us. Thanks, Nan! Some of you will recognize "Baby," Lauren's favorite lovey. Lauren's Baby is like the Velveteen Rabbit, loved so much that it became real. Here's a new Baby that maybe Hannah will learn to love. We also sent her some ladybug PJs and a ladybug toy. The other items (lotions, baby blankets, candy, and Desitin) are for the orphanage and the nannies. We sent along a disposable camera so we hope to get some pictures of Hannah with her friends and nannies at the orphanage. We hope to send another care package to her before we travel. Pray that she can understand that we love her and can't wait to be with her.
Here we are celebrating the Chinese New Year with paper lanterns and dragons made by the kids and Tif's best attempt at a Chinese meal. I'll definitely need to learn to make a few more authentic Chinese foods so Hannah will feel at home. Maybe Nan will help me with that, too.We're still waiting on our LID (Log In Date), but we hope that it has already happened and we'll find it out soon. There is a new step in the process before travel (brought about by the Hague), so our travel timeframe keeps getting farther out. I don't know what to tell you. I'm telling myself September so I won't be disappointed if it really is that long. We hope it's sooner, of course. Patience!
