Huckleberry Finn was born and raised a Florida boy, so this cold snap here in Nashville has thrown him for a loop! :) He just loves it, though, and is always scratching to go outside and lay in one of our screened-in patios. :) I normally keep his hair short, but I just can’t bear to do that to him when we’re averaging 30º here!

For those of you who have kindly asked about how our little man is doing, he’s wonderful. His eye has healed well- He will remain blind in that eye, but we’re just thankful that we won’t have to have it removed for the time being. He’s on steroid drops twice a day to keep his eye ball from shrinking any more; If you look at him for a while, it’s pretty obvious that his blind eye is about 30% smaller than his healthy eye. You’d never know Huck’s half blind until he mis-calculates the height of our couch, or doesn’t see a wall to his left and bumps into it. On a positive note, it’s much easier for me to sneak up behind him and give him “squinches,” so I’m kind of loving that. :)

We missed Huck’s first snow when we were visiting family in Orlando, but we’ve now had the privilege to see him in flurries, which is pretty much as cute as one would imagine:

Merry Christmas, friends!
