We have had a couple phone calls and received 4 letters home now. Our daughter seems to be doing good other than being homesick and is ready to be done already. She said the days seem to drag on but the weeks seem to sore. She said the highlight of the day is mail and asked to send something as often as we could so we will start sending something every other day as it takes them 5-10 days to receive it. This will make sure she is getting something just about every day from us. She has asked us to send pictures of family, friends, things she likes and things that make her happy. I have been including a few pictures in each letter we have sent. She also asked us to send some shampoo and conditioner not sure why, but maybe they don't have a kind she likes to help control the natural frizz in her hair. She did state that if we sent them to make sure they were not more than 17oz as that is as large as they are allowed to have. I have also printed some address labels for her to use with her address on them and then some with our address on to make things easier for her to write more often. She seems to write us once a week on Sunday but others are also receiving letters from her so she is probably writing to them on the other days of the week when she has time.

soygifts: They can only mail out once a week (Monday) so you will have your regular expected "letter day".
A suggestion on sending piks: Scan some, collage style, onto the back of your letters or a separate sheet of paper.---easier to store and won't draw the attention of the RDCs as being a thick letter. She will run out of storage space for them if you send lots of regular piks. Plus, if the envelope is thick, she has to open it in front of the RDCs and share the piks with them!
