We have been slowly getting things prepared for JinPei to join us and we have been blessed by others who are sharing in the journey, be it by lending a sympathetic ear when the wait seems to drag, asking how the process is going and about our upcoming trip, calling or writing to make sure JinPei was not affected by the devestating earthquake in China, showering her with gifts in anticipation for her arrival, and/or remembering her in prayer. Thank you to each and everyone of you for being a part of our journey.
The ladies of the Jr. Woman's Club surprised me with a basket full of goodies for Jinpei (a few of the many things are in the pictures), including books, stuffed animals, Baby Signs materials (which were a hit during Brynn's adoption with Brynn and all my kids and a huge help with communication), cute outfits, diapers, picture frames, cups, spoons, a car safety mirror and much more! I couldn't even make the meeting due to a conflicting ballgame that I was specifically asked to attend by my son and I felt bad about that. We all had a great time looking through the stuff. What a great group of women!
The ball in the picture above was selected by Brynn. My suitcase to China will be jingling! I was in the local drugstore planning on picking up one or two things and Brynn started filling the basket with things for Nyah. She is just so excited to have a sister, for now at least. I hope she feels that way the first few months Nyah is home but I am a bit worried about that. For right now, it is cute how much she talks about her.
The peg hook above was my own purchase. Brynn got one as a gift for her adoption and I wanted her sister to have a similar one. I haven't bought much yet. I keep hoping for a size update for more clothes. I predict a shopping trip once we get our LOA.
We also got our visas for China today! Yippee!
