Practicing

Today I collected 20 pounds of formula from our church.  Just for fun, I wanted to see what it would look like in the suitcase.  Here it is:

I also have this suitcase almost filled with other goodies:

These piles will be added after all of our formula is packed:

We're hoping to take around 80 pounds of formula to Ethiopia when we travel in October.  You can read more about just how important formula is for the babies in Ethiopia here: http://thatwemightbeadopted.blogspot.com/2010/07/clothing-is-optional-formula-is-life.html 

Something that is readily available to babies in our country can mean the difference between life and death for many babies in Ethiopia.  We are thankful that our girl had the benefit of formula for almost her entire first year of life and we want to do what we can to help other babies have that same opportunity.
