Sending Another Package to the Kids

I'm getting ready to send what I think may be the last package to our kids. I don't think I ever posted the second package I sent in November. In that package, I was able to send things to Isaiah for the first time: shorts outfit, flip flops, pants outfit and socks (it gets cool at night), a sweatshirt, one of Abram's old blankets (that I LOVED), a puppy dog (this is the second one I bought...Abram fell in love with the first one I bought for Isaiah so I let him keep it), two little diggers, a book and our photo ablum.I have been very curious how these clothes fit Isaiah so I can get a better feel for how big he is. We just got new pictures of all three kids a week ago and Mr. Isaiah is SWIMMING in his 2T shorts. I swear he looks bigger than Abram in the few pictures we have, but now I'm thinking they might be the same size. Oh, I can't wait to see those boys together when the kids come home!

Here is what I sent to Zoe in the second package: a dress, shorts outfit, sweater, p-pops, socks, necklaces, notepad, stickers, pens, a doodle pad and of course a little bag to keep all of those treasures in.

Zahra got the same things, just a different variety.

This time around I am sending them backpacks for their trip home! Sonja said that they will bring home all of the things we have sent them. I found these super cute travel pillows (with matching blankets Grammy bought). I thought the pillows and blankets would not only be good for them to have on their plane ride home, but also possible keepsakes, representing their travel from Africa to the US. Also in their package is a stuffed elephant, coloring book, colors, two books and little pet shop dogs/my little ponys.

Isaiah got a football travel pillow, cars, books, a doodle board, two balls (if we remember to put them in his bag - Abram has been obsessed with them!), 24 month pants, short outfit, socks and some of Abram's p-pops.

And these below are not going to Africa, but will be awaiting our African princesses when they arrive home (or in the van at the airport in Chicago...I haven't decided). I have wanted them to have black baby dolls, but didn't like the options I was finding online. When I saw these Tiana princesses (from Princess and the Frog, which I hear is not a good movie for kids to watch), I loved them. Thanks to my aunt and uncle for the Target gift card to get them with!
