Update, pictures and Grandma's Birthday!!

Today started off with a GREAT 62ND BIRTHDAY GIFT FOR MY MOM (Grandma)!!  I started off the day... like most... reading through my emails to catch up on what was posted on the blogs overnight.  So I am reading through them one by one, and then I hit one written directly to me.   It was from Ann at Red Thread China!!  I ordered a care package on Nov 30th and she had replied to many of my questions and requests the following day on Dec. 1st.   I wasn't expecting to hear back from her for at least another week.

Then...SURPRISE...Ann had called the Zhengzhou orphanage and got an update and 5 pictures!!!!   She emailed me later to clarify that she will be sending the care package later this week.... after she had her measurements.

This is the quick update she sent to me (I added the conversions into American Standards).  I am very happy to see that BeLanna is doing pretty well after her surgery and is still on track with her growth. FYI.. BeLanna is currently 20.8 months.
