We have been told we can put together an album for the boys...pictures to help them have a better idea of who we are and where they will be living and what life is like. We are so excited!!! We are going to include pictures of us, the dog, the outside of the house, their bunk beds, the living room and kitchen, the backyard and our van. We'd love to know if you can think of any other pictures that might be something that would help them get used to their new home quicker. We figured you all might think of something we did not...so feel free to comment...there are no wrong answers!

How about one pic of SVC kids? I love all these ideas. They're great.
Do you get to write something about the pictures in the album?
Love you
I'll let you know what ends up in the album!
Mom...you and Bryan think alike...he said the same thing about the stuffed animals. In fact, we bought 2 on Friday to take with us to Ethiopia....But if you still want to send them one...Please do!!! Maybe I will like yours better than the ones we found...I still was hoping to find a frog :) Your grandkids sleep with more than one stuffed animal :) It's up to you, though!
And yes, we do get to write what they are on each picture...I guess I need to get some sort of sticker or something or just write on the back...I didn't think about that...
Our girls really enjoyed seeing photos of the state we live in. In fact, we sent a small picture book with our albums so they could see where they would come to live.
Oh, one more thing. We did two albums so each girl had their own. They still get them out to look at them - almost a year after coming home. When we were getting ready for Christmas and I was explaining who would be there they got out their albums and I showed them the pictures of different family members they could expect to show up.
Congratulations on your two new sons and know that the wait is just as you said, part of God's perfect timing. He will use this time while you wait for His good purposes.
