New photos!

Just look at our beautiful girl! Ann (from Red Thread China) contacted Yun Yi's orphanage and was able to get us an update - pictures and all! She's now over 28 inches tall, weighs 16.5 lbs, and has 4 teeth. You can see her standing tall, something her sister was unable to do at that age. What wonderful caregivers she must have and what a difference it makes being at a Half-The-Sky Center!


We arranged for a care package to be sent to Yun Yi through Red Thread China (http://redthreadchina.com/). We sent her a soft pink musical teddy bear and a warm cuddly blanket, so that when we go to meet her next month she will have something familiar to bring with her and hold on to. We understand how stressful this will be for her and want to make the transition as smooth as possible. We also included some fine tea as well as candy and a cake for all of the staff and children to celebrate the New Year and Yun Yi's upcoming 1st birthday. We deeply appreciate all the love and care they've given Yun Yi this last year and are more grateful than can ever be expressed.


I have to say it again ... isn't she just the cutest little thing?!! Just love that Mohawk - Elizabeth thinks "it kind of looks like Mama's hair in the morning." And dang, if she isn't right!
