pleth·o·ra

pleth·o·ra  noun
overabundance; excess


We've been meaning to post this picture for awhile now...

One of our recent tasks was to finish the required paperwork for the U.S. Immigration process.  Many forms, phone calls, and filing tasks later, poof!  One set, 93 pages...3 sets, 279 pages.  One tired printer.
Huge sense of accomplishment.

Learning Curve

We are experiencing the Mount Everest of learning curves.  In preparation for the "becoming a family" learning curves, we are crawling our way through language learning, feeling our way through understanding the impact of trauma, and braiding our way through hair and skin care.  

Fortunately, mountains are for climbing...and persevering...and standing in awe of the beauty around you.

Last Saturday, one of our stops along the climb was our first hair and skin care class.  The Cradle, an agency in Evanston, offers this and other classes.  We're grateful for their training and support.  Wayne and the other dads were applauded for their effort and growing skill.
