Prepare youself for serious cuteness!

Care package #4 has arrived! Sarah is wearing one of the outfits we sent! The orange shoes make quite the fashion statment! :) Can she get any cuter? She melts my heart!

"Hey, I could get used to opening presents every month!"

"This present is for you, foster mom!" These are the dried berries that I sent from our local fruit growers. I also sent jellies and jams (in the bag with the pink bow).

"Those brothers are sure silly!" We sent 2 baby photo albums full of family pictures several months ago, but I thought I'd send some more pictures this time around.

What all fashion forward toddlers need-- orange shoes and a pink purse! The purse is adorable (Fisher Price)! It talks and sings songs and comes with keys, money, a bracelet, a mirror, and lipstick!

"I'm ready to go!" Soo cute! I can hardly stand it!

Grandma's package arrives!

Each time we send a package, we address it to New Day Foster Home. When the package arrives, a New Day helper brings the package to Sarah's foster family's house so she can open it. In this picture Sarah is wearing the Mickey Mouse shirt and capris that I sent her last month! It's fun to see her in clothes that we have sent!

This is Sarah and her sweet foster Grandma!

Sarah is wearing one of the shirts that my mom sent (other clothes are one the couch)!

Sarah is 15 months old!

We got our monthly update from Sarah's foster Grandpa (usually it is the mom/Grandma who writes it, so this was fun to get a different "view" of her progress!)

"Sarah Mei is a very smart girl who is interested in playing with more than just toys. One time she found a flashlight on the bed and it held her attention as she turned it over and over and studied it. She laughed when Grandma turned it on and was excited to see the light. She also enjoyed taking it apart. When Sarah Mei is happy, she often stands on the couch and sings dances and claps her hands. When Grandma praises her for her performance, Sarah Mei keeps singing, with a smile on her face. She loves to be praised!"

I can hardly stand it! I want to scoop her up and kiss those cheeks RIGHT NOW! We love getting the updates, but each month the wait becomes harder and harder...
