And the Journey Begins......Again!!!

WOW!!! Luke has been home a mere 16 months and we are on the international adoption roller coaster again!!! The decision was an easy one - we've always wanted a little girl and on December 9, we found her!!! Our petite princess - Sydney LeighAnne!!! The photo above is her referral picture; Sydney was 6 days old!! At 2 days old, our little angel weighed 5lbs 12ozs. Unlike her "CHUNKY MONKEY" brother Luke who was 7lbs 15ozs at 3 days. I believe she's going to be a petite one that Miss Sydney girl!
