Little Snow

So where have I been the last 2 months?

We've had a temporary addition to our family.

From 2013. April

Her name is Xiao Xue, which means Little Snow.  She's an orphan.  She's five months old, but weighs the same as a newborn at just over 7 lbs.  She has several health problems, and has a really hard time growing.

She was with our family for just under six weeks, and now she is staying with some friends for a couple weeks.  We feel honored to have had her with us for so long, but it was definitely one of the hardest things I've ever done! 

Much of my time was spent like this!

But there were lots of sweet times too.

She will always have a special place in my heart
