Wishing for Henry!


Lydia and Trixie love to throw pennies into fountains and make wishes. Well, today we had lunch out at the Snows and there was a fountain with Mary and Baby Jesus. Of course they needed to throw pennies in and make wishes. Lydia will not tell her wishes because she wants them to come true, but Trixie says hers out loud as she throws the penny in. Her very first wish was that "We get Henry soon" Lydia then told me that she had wished that, too. I'm so very, very glad that my sweet girls are as anxious to get Henry as I am. Well, almost as anxious as me!

Henry's Care Package



We sent a care package for Henry over to Seoul! One of the families travelling to pick up their child, Rachel and Josh, were gracious enough to take our care package over for us. Rachel and Josh have waited extra long for their travel call so please say extra prayers for them that everything goes smoothly. In the care package I put an outfit for Henry to wear, a lovey that our family slept with to try and get our smells on it, a picture book with pictures of Brent, me, Lydia, Trixie, and each set of grandparents, some coffee for the Foster parents, a disposable camera (I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the foster mom will use it!), a letter to the foster parents, and a picture that Lydia made specifically for Henry. I know that Rachel will drop the care package off at Eastern and that the foster mom will receive the package. I just hope she uses the items in it and shows the things to Henry -- especially the pictures. I wish Henry could feel all the love that was included in the care package!
