DREAMING OF ELYSA EVERY DAY!!

Here's the bike cart we bought for you so you can go biking with us. Your cousin Aidan is trying it out and of course it passed the test. Baba was able to make it up our big hill so we are ready to go biking as soon as you get home. We so can't wait to take you!!



These are the hats mama has been knitting and will take with us as gifts to the orphanage for your little friends. We will also be making some fleece hats this weekend to take with us too.


Elysa's pretty clothes....but baba has put a halt to the clothes shopping...but, don't you worry Elly we will get lots in China and more when you get home especially after we know exactly the size you wear.


Here are the care packages that baba and mama sent you, your foster mom and your little friends and caregivers. I really hope everyone got their gifts from us. We also sent disposable cameras and asked them to take pictures of you, your surroundings and all your friends and caregivers so we have this to show you when you grow up. We want you to know you were loved and cared for by very special people before mama and baba were able to get there to bring you home.

Here is the care package for Elly's little friends and orphanage caregivers. (candy, toys and clothes for girls and boys)


Elly's care package for her and her foster mom (candy, toy, blanket, rabbit lovie, and small photo album with popo, mama, baba, dog, cat, house and her bedroom)


Mama, baba, I know I left it in here, now, where did i put that darn racquetball??? Yep, I could see Elysa doing this some day....taking all her toys out of her toy box looking for one particular toy...then has that look of being surrounded by all that she took out of her box and still not finding what she's looking for......
