Care Package on the way

Dear and sweet friends of ours, Eric and Chantelle Becking are leaving Cape on saturday, 5/2, to fly to Ethiopia and meet their daughter for the first time, and then return home with her forever one week later.  Their daughter, Solie Koket, is in the same orphanage as our sons and they offered to take a gallon size bag of items waiting parents wanted to send to their children.  I have packed this bag full of toys and a premie sized outfit for each boy.  You can also see the wall clings I found in African animals for her to decorate the nursery with there.  And what do you think about the posters I made for Phelix and Phisher of their AWESOME family back in the USA who is praying for a miracle to be able to travel SOON and bring them home.  I am also sending more formula for the boys and a dictation tape and recorder with our family reading the boys some of their favorite stories; Good Night Moon, Guess How Much I Love You, Time for Bed, etc., saying prayers for them, just sending little messages of how much we dearly love them and miss them.  The Beckings gave us this awesome idea.  They did this for their first adoptive daughter, Bianca, while they were waiting to bring her home from from Guatemala.  I absolutely love this idea, and Jamie had the idea to send extra batteries along.  Hopefully the nannies will play the tape often, and the boys will recognize the sounds of our voices, and recognize our faces by the time we arrive!  Babies are so smart, and I have no doubt these two darlings will be like their older brother and sister, smartypants : )
