Now on to a more serious note. I am so excited I can hardly stand it. I just checked our USPS tracking number and discovered that our care package to Annabel arrived in China yesterday. It is due to be delivered to Annabel's orphanage tomorrow. I sent her the softest blanket I have ever felt, a baby doll, a photo album with pictures of her new forever family...including the dog and cat, as well as two disposable cameras for the nanny's to take photos of Annabel and her friends, along with instructions on the cameras and a list of questions for them to fill out about her daily habits and schedules. Of course it is all in not only English but in Chinese as well. Just knowing that tomorrow she will be able to look at the photo album and start to familiarize herself with our faces makes me break into tears. I cannot wait to hold her in my arms. We have been staying very very busy the last two weeks trying to get everything together for our trip and the start of a new school year. We spent today shopping for school items and went to the movies. We saw the movie "Hairspray". It was really cute. When Joey found out that John Travolta was the mother in a fat suit and dressed like a women his response was, "That is just so wrong". We laughed our heads off. Leave it to Joey to keep us in stitches. While we were at the mall today we also found a Chinese/Mandarin/English phrase book that is going to be priceless during our trip. Looking over it I couldn't think of anything else that wasn't listed in there. That was the best find of the day. Praise God!!!!
