January 5, 2003

     It has been a very busy time.  We sent our acceptance letter via FedEx to New Hope Friday and I mailed a package off to KaeLynn at the orphanage.  I put a photo album with KaeLynn's photo, pictures of the kids, us and one of the house.  They are in a "sassy" photo album.  We also put in a pink blanket with white stars on it, a stuffed turtle with a bell noise, a disposable camera with the instructions in English and Chinese and Dove chocolates and Hersey's Kisses.  We hope to get the camera back with pictures of KaeLynn in her present home.  Several families have done this and received some really good photos back.

     I joined the Huainan egroup and we have been very impressed to hear how well the babies are cared for there.  I have also offered to hand carry photos to the orphanage for families who have adopted from there.  I have read how the nannies love to see current photos of their "babies."  I think it will be so neat to see their faces when they see the photos.

     Janea, RaeAnne and I went shopping at Towne East yesterday.  Rae and Kae will be very well dressed!  Today I started gathering things to pack.  The weather in Hefei has been  in the 30's and 40's during the day.  The 20's at night.  Guangzhou has been in the 70's so we are going to need a wide variety of clothes.  I want to make sure we keep KaeLynn covered well so the "clothing police" won't scold us!  Because of the weather changes we will be in, I am making sure I pack cold/sinus meds for all of us.
