Caring for Levi

There are 4 families scheduled to travel to Ethiopia to meet and bring home their children next week. I can imagine that having to remember everything that needs to packed is crazy, but they often offer to carry over a care package to children who have been referred. Well, ours went out in the mail today to one of the families travelling. It was so exciting shopping for a little guy again. I hope everything we are sending is ok...never done this before, so I don't know. I'm a little concerned about the size of the clothes, but we'll see by the pictures if they fit. We packed a shirt that has little geckos on it and shorts (that Logan picked out), a rattle, and a squishy photo album that has pictures of Levi's new family. Hopefully, they'll show him our pictures so he'll recognize us when we meet him.

Here's a picture of what we sent. Sorry for the lopsided photo--not too sure how to get it turned right side, I've tried everything!! Just go ahead and do a neck stretch while you're at it--get rid of some of that tension... haha

Logan and Landon were excited to help get the package ready. They were both very helpful in picking out things to send. I know that they're excited about Levi coming, and these type of projects only add to the excitement. Keep praying for Levi and those that are taking care of him in the transitional house. We're trusting that God is taking care of him, and even though we're not there to hug him and love him, God is using families that are travelling and nannies to love him for us.
