Care Package #1

1 Fancy Nancy Purse...pink with bows and ruffles
2 plastic bead necklaces
1 pair of pink Fancy Nancy sunglasses
1 little bitty baby doll wearing purple
1 Disney Princess camera that says "You look beautiful!" when you press the button
1 little t-shirt and a pair of matching capri leggings
1 pair of white socks
1 photo album
1 greeting card with Mommy's voice recorded saying "Little Sister, this is Mommy.  Daddy and I love you so much and we will be very happy when you come home.  Be a good girl and we will see you soon"...followed by the song "You'll be in my Heart" by Phil Collins

I wanted to say "ewedeshalo" which is Amharic for "I love you" but, well, let's just say I need to practice a bit before this southern girl tries to whip out the Amharic for all the Transition Home to hear!  Pitiful.  Just pitiful.

  1. I love the idea of the card with your voice recorded. What a special treasure!

  2. Yeah for the care package!! And make sure you practice "shent bait" which is I need to use the bathroom - our travel buddies from the south really had to work at making a short e sound and not a short i sound!

  3. Aw, she's going to LOVE what you sent. And in time, and with God's careful grafting, she's going to totally love all of you too.
    Blessings,
