We received pictures and personal observations from the first care package arriving. They were FANTASTIC!!! They were only about Ryan as John was out at a doctor's appointment, but we're soooo grateful to have them. They family traveling and thus bringing our care packages to the boys observed several things about Ryan: he runs and walks normally, cries appropriately, seems to hear normally, and knows the difference between strangers and his nanny/care giver (that alone is great as it shows he has the ability to bond!). We got some pictures of our little guy but he was very wary of the whole process which is understandable! He was loved on and prayed over which comforts this Mommy's heart. And to look at a picture of a package that I wrote Ryan's name on and see my handwriting and know it's in Ethiopia with our son - WOW!!
The second care package should have been given to the boys this week so we should hear how that went/get pictures next week or the week after. Again, we are so grateful to a family from Oklahoma for loving on our boys!!
Our third care package arrived in Ohio today and will be leaving with a family heading to Ethiopia on December 19th! Included were a photo album containing number, color, and shape pictures of items around the house as well as pictures showing how to play the bowling and golf game included, a bag of gummy bears, 2 Fruit by the Foots, a bus and truck board book with wheels, parachute animals, windup walking plastic snowmen, and two pairs of fun fuzzy slipper socks. The ice cream bubbles pictured didn't fit. Gotta love Dollar Tree and the dollar section at Super Walmart. I hope the boys do!!
