Her Birthday

Last month our little girl had a birthday, she turned three-years-old.  In May we sent care packages over, so we went ahead and sent a few small things as birthday presents.  Its a tricky thing to only buy items that will fit in a gallon Ziploc bag, weigh no more than a pound, and are relatively flat.  We actually bought each of the kids something that was too much for the bags, so we had to scale back and find things that would fit what is allowed.  

We found this sweet little baby doll with an extra outfit.

And decided to send clothes for the first time.

 

We also got a few birthday blower things and a camera to include and managed to fit it all in.

 

We found a sweet card with stickers and wrote a little note. 

Sometimes it feels like a dream.  There are two kids on the other side of the world, that call us Mommy and Daddy.  Two kids on the other side of the world that we long to call Son and Daughter. Someday our dream will come true.  We hold on to this hope.  Someday, hopefully next year, we will celebrate birthdays with her in our laps, we will be able to tell her face to face how very much we love her.  Until then, our care packages, pictures, and little notes will have to do.

 

 

We love you baby girl, and we are coming for you soon!
