Add One More, She makes 4: While We're Waiting.....

Oh this wait...it's killing me. I thought it was hard while waiting to be matched, but man oh man is the wait getting harder. I've seen my precious little girl's face, and I can't hold her, touch her, kiss her, all those things the Mommy in me is dying to do! I can't wait to get my Asian Angel HOME! My heart has so much love for her, already.
We've sent her a few care packages. The first one we sent Graci and I went shopping, and had so much fun. Graci picked her out two outfits, a pair of socks, and a toy. That was fun. We sent her another one using Lady bugs n love. Great service! We got new pictures of our sweet girl. That one we sent a cake, to celebrate her first birthday, a little late. The 3rd we sent her we used lady bugs n love again. This time BaiLee, Ethan and Graci decided she needed a toy and an outfit, so that is what we had sent. I pray we get pictures back...hoping for this week!! I'm dying to see my girl's face again! The kids each wrote Alli their own letter that was translated and sent with that package. They wrote the sweetest things. You can really tell they are excited about her coming home. BaiLee talks about holding her. He tells me he's going to help with her a lot and hold her when we go places. :) He's going to be a great big brother, again.
These are the letters they each wrote Alli.

Jiu Ying,

My name is BaiLee. I am your new big brother. I am 10 years old.

I can't wait until I see you. We can play together. We will eat pies together. We will get to do a lot of things together, such as, play outside, watch tv, and I'll teach you how to play softball. I love you.

Love,

BaiLee Your BIG Brother

Jiu Ying,

I am your other big brother, Ethan. I am 8 years old. I can't wait to go places together. I can't wait until you are here. I'm ready to see you. We will get to play together a lot. You and Graci can be best friends.

Love,

Your Big Brother

Ethan

Jiu Ying,

I love you. I hope you will be here soon. I'm going to be your big sister. My name is Graci. I'm 5 years old. I miss you. I wish you were here yesterday. Have a great time in China. Be good. Be great. I will play with you. You will have fun with us. We will cuddle with you. I will hold you when you get here. We will take great care of you. You will see us soon. Have fun with your friends. Friends help you have fun. Have a great day. I love you.

Love,

Your Big sister,

Graci

That just melted my heart!!!
Ethan's Sunday School Class from church has prepared Alli a care package and will be sending that over this week. How sweet is that?!?! Thank you Debbie Purvis and Jennifer Danforth for being SO sweet!

I went shopping at Carter's yesterday and got the girls (oh, I love saying that!) a few things. Graci has been wanting a "Big Sister" shirt, so I got that and a matching outfit for them...Can't wait to see them dressed alike!!!
Here are some pictures of whats been keeping me occupied, other than my 3 LOVES, and thier MANY daily activities (soccer & baseball for BaiLee, Football and baseball for Ethan, Dance and soccer for Graci!!!)

Keep the prayers coming. We are really praying for November travel...would LOVE to be HOME before December!
