What We've Been Doing the Last 2 1/2 weeks

We've been busy. Very. Busy.

We sent a care package to Camille's orphanage. Sometimes these care packages make it, sometimes they don't (due to customs). Sometimes the parents get the items back, sometimes they don't (due to I-don't-know-what). But we sent one just in case. It included:

1. A duck transformer (Trevor's words, see pictures below. It's a rattle.)
2. A stuffed bunny ("Made in China" tags removed)
3. 2 disposable cameras for the caretakers to take pictures of Camille's environment
4. Some new Mary Kay make-up as a gift for the caretakers (thanks Margaret!)
5. Some chocolates as gifts for the caretakers
6. A blanket my mom made for baby Trevor 7 years ago, washed, and Camille's Chinese name written on it with laundry marker in English and in Chinese (see pictures below; I'm rather impressed with myself, although I could have written "Bacon SkyDive Swollen" for all I know.)
7. A soft baby photo album with close-up pictures of us (see some of the pictures below).

Duck Transformer
I bought this precious rattle. You stuff the duck inside the frog and the frog stands up. You stuff the frog inside the duck and the duck stands up. A little sick, perhaps, but cute. Trevor's first words up seeing it was, "It's a duck transformer!" Boys.

The Photo Album
We wanted Camille to have close-ups of our faces. We hope we look a little familiar to her when she sees us.

Two of the three cats. The third would not cooperate. Honestly, these two did not cooperate either. We didn't send any cat pictures.
