My Secret Pal is simply the sweetest, most thoughtful secret pal in the world! :) I came home tonight to find these wonderful gifts in the mail. I received the gifts pictured above and also a pink, extremly soft, blanket with "I Love Mommy" embroidered on it. I also received a pink, ceramic bowl with bunnies on it and a pair of little chopsticks with bunnies! She also sent the most beautiful handmade card!
I only wish I could include pictures of these as well. I was taking pictures of all my wonderful gifts and I dropped my camera... and it broke. :(
I am so bummed right now. These may be the last pictures I take with my first digital camera! Dan is going to take it to Best Buy and see if it can be fixed.
By the way, sorry it's been awhile since my last post. I've been working long days and life is staying pretty busy! We do the Phoenix Summit Hike this weekend! I was hoping to post pictures...bad timing for the camera to break!
Thank you so much Secret Pal. I really appreciate all your gifts. They mean so much.

Great gifts! Hope the camera can be fixed.
Keep smilin!
I have seen a few posts with the Secret Pal thing in the "mail". Is it a thing now for adoptive groups to do Secret Pals for each other or is this just something through your agency? Seems very sweet and a helpful treat to make the wait not so yuckie.
I've missed your posts, but glad to see you back online. :)
Lovely gifts!!
Panda-mom,
Our agency has a yahoo group set up for each group of waiting parents with the same month LID. For instance I am in the March LID group. Well, in that group is Stephanie Wise and she put together a secret pal exchange between all of us in this LID group.
It is so much fun and really helps while waiting for our little ones. I have seen a lot of similiar groups form on other blog sites. We are ending our exchange in January. If we re-start since the wait is so long, you're more than welcome to join!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Great SP you have!!! I just love when its "that time of the month"...I always race home to see if my pal has struck!!! I dont know how I will handle it when this is over....
