As you know from our recent posts, last week was our little boy's first birthday. While it was heartbreaking for us to be away from him on that special day, we were very excited to have sent him a birthday package, which he hopefully got sometime around his birthday. Our agency, Holt, has recently tightened their restrictions on packages that PAP's are allowed to send over to their waiting children. We're basically only allowed to send something every two months, and it must be flat, noiseless, and fit into a gallon Ziploc bag.So, of course, my brilliant wife has found a way to stuff two gallon freezer bags in the past two months, packing them to the absolute breaking point while still leaving them relatively flat and noiseless. The birthday package we sent off about a month ago, which was less than two months after our initial package, but they were very generous to us because it was his birthday and we wanted him to have something from us. The way the mail works to Thailand, it hopefully got there around his birthday and he had some presents from Mom and Dad. We did manage to squeeze in a disposable camera, which hopefully will have some good pictures on it. Rosemary's favorite, though, were these little shoes which she said he NEEDED because he will be walking soon:
We can't wait to meet our son!

What sweet shoes! Have you tried using those storage saver bags? I wonder if that comports with the rules?
Love it! That is part of being a parent...your creative way to make things work with out "breaking the rules." Also, there will many more "must haves" to come but shopping for someone will never be as exciting as it is for your own kids! I'm sure he will love every single gift from his mommy and daddy!
It won't be long now. And you will have all the rest of his birthdays to be with him!
Those shoes are so tender! I can't wait to see you guys all together.
