We had a blanket, camera, photo album and birthday cake sent to Yu Lei for his 5th birthday. We requested photos and they were taken of Yu Lei and his cake, but on the disposable camera. After a second request of "photos, now, please" we received these this morning.

We had friends travel to China last May and sent with them a package for Yu Lei to leave with their friends in Shanghai to send to Yu Lei when we got the O.K. His Little Spiderman shirt and the Firefox toy in his hand were two of the items in that package. I never knew if he received it, but they purposely got him all outfitted for photos for his family. I'm not a huge fan of Spiderman but the shirt lights up and I had a small package to make a big statement for a little guy. He is little; I think the shirt was a size 4.

On another thrilling note, after four weeks of waiting for our I-800 approval in determination I called INS and talked to an adjudications officer of the Department of Homeland Security and he told me our I-800 was approved and in the mail. Looks like travel can happen in May.
