Today Carter and I took Gracie Lin's package to the USPS to ship to China. Below is a picture of the contents. I have had the snuggle blanket for months and the last two weeks, I have carried it around with me A LOT! I put it in a plastic bag for shipment so that when she gets it, hopefully it will still smell like me. I pray that it gives her a little comfort when she is placed in my arms and I smell a little familiar. My friend Shannon gave me this soft sweet fragrance called 'wish' when we went to get Carter because babies sense of smell is so strong. Months later after I hadn't worn it for a long time, I put it on. Parker walked by me and said, 'it smells like getting Carter!' I guess the sense of smell in relation to memory really is strong! :) We hope to get some photos back on the disposable camera I included but there is no guarantee that her care giver will use it. We understand that she likes rattles so I switched out a toy I had selected for the little duck ring in the photo which has a rattle inside. The photo book with her picture in the cover includes photos of her new Mommy, Daddy, brothers, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.
