Today, we headed to our last adoption class.  The focus of this class was on our transition to having an international child.  The class was very enjoyable and we had a good group of parents who kept the class lively.  Several couples had already been through the process and offered their advice.  We both realize that there will be a transitional period with a new child.  After this week, I have no doubt that we can meet this challenge.

I also feel amazingly very well.  Started my physical therapy and even got on the exercise bike.  The pups on the other hand have been (for lack of a better word) a mess.  When we arrived home, Trojan was a sick puppy and it didn’t take Mattie long to follow suit.  Poor Mike spent last night in triage tending to me and the pups.  So, it’s been a little rough in this house hold.

But as Winston Churchill so elegantly said “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”  So, which are we, optimist or pessimist?  I’ll answer with a Fight On!  And yes, our child is going to be a big time USC homer.  Is it wrong to teach the fight song before the alphabet?  Now there is a question to ask during one of those adoption classes.
