Care package #2......

I was waiting to hear if Aiden got his care package #1.  He did go to Holt Korea for his September WBC, so I'm just going to have to assume he got it, no pictures to confirm.  Oh well,  look out Aiden,  #2 is on it's way!! I did so much better with this package at the Post Office.  Judy you'd be proud of me,  I learned so much from you the first time!  I had the form filled out before I arrived, even packed the box at home first also.  I went to the counter and voila (no picture, forgot the camera! at least I remembered every thing else!) 30 seconds later,  it's sent! Here's a photo of  the contents of the care package:    two new outfits, (these are for winter, long sleeve and long pants), a pair of socks,  Aquaphor, a camera, a bib, the sunshine toy (it plays You Are My Sunshine - cute!), another photo album that has our pictures in it for Aiden to look at, (and hopefully put two and two together when he sees us!), plus 2 boxes of Gerber rice cereal (they were marked 'Donation to Holt').

Still no word about the Emigration Permit.  :(   I know we are getting so close to the cut off.  I've mentioned this before, but I'll mention it again.  Korea only allows a certain number of children out of the country each year. Each child has to have an Emigration Permit to leave Korea.  So they count the EP's and when they get to their quota, guess what?  No more EP's are issued, so the children can't leave till next year around the first of February.  So if we do not get an EP soon, Aiden will not be home for Christmas, nor will he be home for his first birthday, January 3rd.  I would love for Aiden to be home sooner than later, but I'm almost to the point of wishing we'd just hear something.....a yes or no would suffice, thank you very much.  But haven't heard one thing about it......seriously?!?!

The Forum moms are so right in saying the last part of the wait is the hardest......uggggg!  It's the worst part of it.  But I know Aiden will be home with us soon,  we've made it this far, what's another month or two?  Ekkk  this is the hardest time to be patient!

On a brighter note, I did have some good luck today with Honey!  We live in a small town about 20 miles north of Nashville.  When Mary Leigh posted that Foster Families liked vitamins and honey,  I knew I was in it good!  There's this little store in the middle of our small town that sells local Honey.  AWESOME!  This store is about 3 miles  from our house.  Tay and I stopped by there on our way home from school and bought us some honey!   The Foster Family is getting the big one, oh yeah!  The second picture actually shows the honey comb!  I never thought I'd be so excited to buy honey!  I am so weird  now lol!

  Not sure who the lucky ones are going to be to get the small ones,  I may drop by there again and just buy more.  I. Have. Lost. It!  This adoption process has done strange things to this  mamma!  I've almost forgotten what normal is these days.  Another Forum mom said it's mommyitus.  I think I'd have to agree with her.  I'm feeling kind of nuts these days!
