Something I've been looking forward to for a very long time!

Today was a really big day! We signed and sent all of Kaelin Bing's paperwork back to Great Wall! What a relief that was just knowing that we are getting closer to our beautiful little baby! Also, today, I put together a care package for our little "spicy" Hunan dumpling! Even though you can see what I put in it, I will list the goodies I sent the for the heck of it!
1)A soft baby doll
2)A Winnie the Pooh lovey (Gary and I have been sleeping with this for over a year now so Kaelin Bing will recognize our scent! I hope it works!)
3)A soft photo album with pictures of Kaelin Bing's mommy and daddy, brothers and sisters, our dog, Storm, her bedroom, and our house.
4)Two disposable cameras for her nannies to take lots of pics of our little beauty!
5) An outfit to replace the one that we will be wearing when we meet her.
6)A package of socks for the orphanage
7)Candy and Loreal lip gloss for her nannies.
8) A letter to the orphanage thanking them for taking care of our daughter and a list of questions for her nannies.
This past week has been so fantastic! We have photos of Kaelin Bing all over our house! Gary and I and the kids can't stop staring at them! I even keep one in my car! I can't tell you how many green lights I have sat through staring at her pic instead of paying attention to the traffic signal! I've been beeped at more than a few times! We are so excited and just waiting now on our travel approval! Hopefully we will go sometime in August. Stay tuned................

Hi Diane,

The care package looks great!! Just one bit of advice (if you haven't already sent your package)...put Kaelin's Chinese name on the cameras along with a little copy of her picture taped to the camera somewhere. I was advised to do that because sometimes the cameras can get mixed up.

We're so excited for you and can't wait until you travel!!

Hugs,
Cheri, Shane & Hope
