As our paperwork winds down the realization that in just a few months we will be meeting our daughter is setting in. I know we still have a long road ahead of us but as we navigated the paperwork and jumped through all the governments hoops there were times it felt as if we would never get it all completed.

It is also setting in how far we are from funding this adoption. I have gone into full out crazy fundraising lady mode. I currently am crocheting pot scrubbers ($8 for 4), sewing lace boot cuffs $10 a pair, and on February 1st we will begin taking donations for our mustache growing competition.

This mustache fundraiser will be a fun competition between the males of our family. For the month of February the wives will be collecting donations. For every $5 the wife collects the husband will grow his mustache one day. The guys will begin growing March 1. The guys participating include Chris (Daddy), Jim (Grandpa), Lane (Poppah), Tyler (Uncle), and Sean (Uncle). Let's see who can get the longest mustache in March! If you would like to see one of these guys grow a 'stache either talk to their wives or you can donate at reecesrainbow.org/sponsorstum then email me your receipt with the name of the guy you want to see with a mustache!

Apostilles here we come and then our dossier will hopefully be in our agencies hands within two weeks!
