So over the past week I've been busy assembling a package to send down to Ava's foster mother. I have three gallon sized ziploc bags...two are being taken by someone at my agency (thanks Robin!) and one is being taken by my dear friend Melis (thanks sweetie!) I've written a long note to our foster mother and had it translated by an agency friends husband who is fluent in Spanish (thanks Munoz family!) I included 2 disposable cameras so the foster mother can take lots of pictures of Ava. I also included a pink blanket (thanks SBP!) that we've been sleeping with. I'm also sending a mini tape recorder so Ava can hear our voices...we talk to her and read her stories on the tape. I also stole an idea from my blogger pal Joanna (thanks J!) and bought a soft photo album made especially for babies. I included pics of us, the boys, the cats and our home so the foster mom can show Ava. I also put labels on the photos and translated them into Spanish so the foster mom can read them. And then there's the clothes...here's some pics of what I included. I can't wait to actually see her wearing them!!!
Hugs to all,
Jen :]

OMG, how cute are those outfits!! I especially love the red and pink striped one! We brought down the same soft photo album for Anelisa with pics of Mario and I together/separate and one of sweet Chippy :( and one of our bunny (of course we didn't think to actually write who the pics were of - HA!)!!
I know Ava will just love it all and will be so happy to get to meet (and smell and hear :) her family!
Love to you my friend,
Melis

I love all of the things you are sending Ava!!! I hope you had fun shopping for your daughter, I know I can't get over how cute girl stuff is and I'm spoiling Isabela for it. What a great Mommy you are to put this care package together so quickly!!!
