So very cute, Jana. Thanks for posting. I also wish I had some advice for black hair, but I've got nothing around here. I almost have the opposite problems, actually.
I have been thinking about you guys a lot lately.
On a completely different note, have you tried the service yet? If so, are you enjoying cloth?
a sweet beauty.
that's a great picture. of course its hard to take a "bad" picture of ruthie :)
You do have a good man! :) Will I get to meet Miss R at the airport next week? I'm so happy thinking about them with their babies right now.

Little habesha doll!
She is a lovely, lovely child. A wise soul, really. It's fun to imagine the people these beautiful children will grow into. I'm so glad she's home with you and that you're so totally and completely loving being a family.
Oh seriously, she is gorgeous. Just beautiful.
Cindy
