Jordan's 2010 Annual Photo
Just logged into my account and have a new photo of Jordan. Boy, she is growing up fast. She is wearing a T-Shirt I sent in a previous package.
Family Photos of Jordan
What a surprise to receive another CI envelope. Guess what? My direct package made it to Ecuador to my beloved princess. I always call Jordan "Princess" or "Angel". She is just so adoreable. It was a very small package: nightshirt, family photos and play dough.
Her mom wrote again a lovely letter and said that Jordan is always so happy hearing from me and was so happy having more photos of me. And, she sent me four photos of herself and activities. I was so happy and will treasure these photos forever.
The photos are of her direct package, with her sister Danna as Jordan was dressed as a Christmas star (for her school activity), graduation from kindergarten, swearing an oath to the Ecuadorian flag, dressed as football player (3rd from right - school activity)

Great Mail Day!!
I know I am a bit late in posting, but have received 5 letters from my beautiful girls from the Philippines last week. Irish, Jessalen, Joyselle, Maria and Lorelyn.
I am so amazed how well they write, although English is not their first language. I was so busy over the weekend replying to their letters. I have written to all and have mailed photos to Lorelyn and Irish directly to CI as I have included a couple of family photos.
I am just waiting until the best airfares are coming out as I have made up my mind visiting either the Philippines (April or May) or Colombia. Hubby always says "Whatever" but I mean it that this time I will book the flight, either he is coming with me or not. I know it sounds cruel.

Great Mail Day!!
Today I have reiceived two letters from Joyselle (Philippines) and my beloved Jordan (Ecuador).
Joyselle wrote that she graduated from primary school and will be attending High School in June after the summer break. I am so proud of her and she is growing up so fast. Not anymore the little 9 year old I began sponsoring two years ago.
And Johanna (Jordan's mum) wrote on behalf of Jordan as she is still too young to write by herself. As usual the letter was full of information and what my little princess was up to. They went away for their holidays to see the grandma who lives in another town, she swam in the river with her cousins and friends and is just a happy little girl. And of course, I was told off for not writing again. I am really wondering if Jordan really gets my letters. I am still writing to her every two months. Can't believe that I am sponsoring this adoreable girl for almost two years nest month.

Shopping for Joyselle
Today I went shopping for Joyselle. She will be 12 years old at the end of June and I bought her a T-Shirt, bag, eye shadow, notebook & pens. I can't believe it that I am sponsoring her now for 2 years.
And I have mailed the birthday package to my beloved Jessalen. I know I am very late because her birthday is at the end of this month. Oh well, I am just so busy at the moment.
I am still waiting for direct package photos of Maria, Jessalen, Monica & Elina. Fingers crossed I will get their photos & letters soon.

Letters!!
Today I have received the introductory letters of my two new Filippino girls, Irish Mae and Lorelyn.
I am very impressed by the letter of Irish Mae and she wrote in perfect English. She and her mom are welcoming me into the family, she will be in grade 5 in June and likes the colour pink.
Lorelyn will be in grade 3 and lives with her mom and two siblings. In her bio she has a 14 year old sister. Maybe she has an older sibling or a little baby brother or sister. I will ask her in my next letter. Also, she is walking to school as it is not far. Her letter was short, but sweet.
I also received a reply to my January letter from Karol (Colombia. I am just so impressed by this 6 year old. She writes very good letters, her handwriting is very neat and she tells me that she is so happy for having a "madrina". A reply is on the way to her as well.

Christmas Packages made it!!!
Joyselle
Monica Jane
JessalenI am so glad that the Christmas packages made it to the Philippines. Better late then never!!! I mailed them out in November (sent them by surface mail) and it normally takes 3 weeks to reach the Philippines. But bear in mind, we had a post strike almost every week for 2 days!!! The girls look so happy in their photos. I am still waiting if Maria Isabel received hers. And my beloved Jessalen always wear the clothes I am sending her.
