Care Package and Doug's Shopping Spree

Look how excited my hubby is (and look how adorable he is too)! Doug and I had to return the air conditioner to Target last night, and while I was there, I needed to pick up a few things for our China trip. We started to pass by the baby clothes section, and Doug said that he wanted to pick out a few outfits for Briana. He wanted to pick them out himself, and they would be her outfits from daddy. He was so cute going through every rack trying to find the perfect items. Look at what he bought - not bad, huh?

And here is the care package for Briana that I am mailing out tomorrow. My agency sent us a letter prepared in English and Chinese for us to include in the package along with camera instructions in English and Chinese as well. That was such a big help. I am sending a blanket, small bear, photo album, a butterfly toy that lights up and makes sounds, a disposable camera and the always popular Jelly Belly's.

I may not get any of these items back, but I really hope to get the camera back. I hope Briana likes her goodies!

Funny, I picked out that EXACT same butterfly toy to send in our care package! How nice of your agency to provide a letter in Chinese for you to include. I had to have my husband and brother-in-law put one together.

Ok - how stinking cute is your hubs?

If I could get AB to actually hold the baby clothes, that would be a step towards progress. Let alone, posing for a picture with them. Or PICKING THEM OUT!

Jeesh!
