ANOTHER PACKAGE...

If you have read our blog, you know that we sent Asha a package right before Christmas. The most precious gift in the package was a bear we made for her at the Build-a-Bear Workshop. We found it really difficult to HAVE to be selective on what we sent to her, but UPS is quite expensive for shipping and so we just didn't have much room in a small box.

We have had the opportunity to meet many wonderful people since the start of this adoption process. One of the people we've met, referred us to a couple that she is friends with. The couple adopted their children from St. Vincent over a decade ago and now they are finally going back to the country to show their children where they were born. They recently contacted us and asked if we would like for them to go visit Asha and they also offered to bring a package for her. This was a enormous blessing for us. This is what we included in the package:

* A cute jean dress
* A couple of toy rattles/teethers
* Soft play toy that has shapes with different sounds and colors
* A special butterfly that makes different sounds
* Some Aveeno baby lotion for her skin
* Dove soap - the foster family said St. Vincent ran out and that it works the best for their dark skin because it is moisturizing
* A CD that Desiree's Mom and Dad made for Christmas that plays nursery rhymes; it was custom made with ASHA's name in it

Scott wanted to be silly and tried to see how Asha's outfit would look on him. Obviously, it was not his size!
