I love my gifts!!
Thank you soooo much Secret Pal! Whoever has me is really spoiling me. She has even been thoughtful enough to get my boys each a M&M guy filled with mini m&ms. They say "Thank you Mommy's secret pal." Diana got the cutest little shirt that says love on it plus two packages of bibs with ladybugs, flowers and other cute patterns. She also got two packages of onesies with hearts, ladybugs etc.....too cute. Every time I dress Diana in these I will think of you my friend. Also for me: yummy chocolates. DH has already told me I better hide them...don't worry I will! Thanks again Secret Pal! Your truly are the best!!

Thanks again secret pal!!
Just wanted to say thanks again for my most fabulous Feb. gifts! You are so thoughtful. First, I received a beautiful, custom made tote with my name on it. As if that wasn't enough, the next day arrived a box full of valentine goodies. I love the ladybug outfit and can't wait until my bundle of love is wearing it. The piggybank with hearts on it is already in her room. The gift bag (so cute) was filled with yummy white chocolate covered fortune cookies (not pictured because I already ate them), beautiful chopsticks, sweet stuffed panda, chinese rubber duckies, and heart shaped cards. I hope I didn't leave anything out. Secret pal, you are the best and I am so very lucky!

THANKS SECRET PAL,
Thank you secret pal for all the wonderful gifts. You are always so
thoughtful. My girls loved their Valentine's/Chinese New Year
goodie bags. The pancake mix and maple syrup will be enjoyed
by everyone. The chocolate covered fortune cookies were so good!
The CNY ornaments are beautiful, and I really love the adoption
books you sent. I even loved the beautiful wrapping paper!
Thanks so much for your kindness.
Love,
Karen & family
Thank You Secret Pal!
The sweet princess photo frames and ladybug photo album are awesome! I can't wait to have photos of our Sophie to put in them. I love the girly washclothes. The chocolates are almost gone already - I am so bad! One of the adorable "little princess" teddy blankies will be going to China in one of Sophie's care packages. I love that there is a match if one gets lost or damaged.
Logan and Nathan send a Thank You for the Spongebob Valentine candies. It's so sweet of you to remember them. They get as excited as I do when we see a box on the steps. You are awesome!

Thanks Secret Pal!
It was so fun to have a little Valentine's surprise. We loved the book (it has lights and music and everything) -- it is so cute! The Valentine doggy is darling, and it's sooooo soft. I know baby is going to have fun with that one. The scrapbook stickers will be sure to find a good home too in baby's book. I think I'll save them for the trip to China section -- let it be soon! And finally, a little something for mommy is always nice, especially when its chocolate!

Friendship
"Friends are not an opportunity - but a sweet responsibility."
I read this quote a while back and it has stuck with me ever since. The idea of having a responsibility to cherish those that are close to you resonated with me, especially now.
To say that I am overwhelmed by the surprise this group put together for me is an understatement. I was moved to tears by each card I read, and the gifts were more than generous and very, very appreciated. I am ever so thankful to have each and every one of you in my life. (My kitties are, too - the toys they received are making a strange apartment seem a little more like home for them). Thanks, also to Laura for all of your work putting this together.
Although we've had a bumpy go of it lately, I feel like such a lucky woman to have such great friends, indeed. You all touched my heart in a way that words seem inadequate to explain. A huge, heartfelt "thank you" will have to do!!
