From May 9th




From May 9th



I can not begin to express my appreciation for a very special family who offered to bring Beck a little gift from us. I wracked my brain for just the right gift. I wanted something meaningful... and of course soft and easy to pack. So I spent the day making him a little snuggly quilt with our pictures on it in hopes that we will not be strangers to him when we finally meet. As I put the finishing touches on it I imagined his little hands touching it.

I didn't want to take up too much room in Tina's luggage so I vacuum-sealed it. Tina joked that she was afraid it would open like a car airbag! Above it is pictured next to a regular size business envelope.
I was very fortunate that Tina got to visit Beck at his orphanage on 2 seperate trips while adopting her beautiful daughter. While visiting she took pictures for us and a video, as well as delivering his quilt to him. Thank you so much Tina!!!
