Care Packages and answers to questions

Here are the two care packages we have sent to Lil' Bubba. We actually ordered them through Angela at http://www.ladybugsnlove.com/ She is very sweet and has been wonderful to work with. We tell her what we would like to send (such as a toy for a toddler boy) from a list of items and she does the shopping and shipping.

April 26, 2010- first care package


May 17, 2010- second care package

Then on May 20, 2010 we received a wonderful email from Angela containing the answers to the questions we had sent the orphanage in our first letter. Yippee! It is great to learn a little more about our son.
