Our Finalization Day



It is finally here!! July 3, 2008 our adoption was finalized and any worries or concerns are officially gone! It was a very long wait and a very short court room process, but this is a very special day for us, I couldn't help but get teary eyed in the court room. These boys are so special to us and were always ment to be apart of our family, we couldn't imagine life with out them. Travis, Kassie, and our sweet nieces were able to come and be apart of it and we were so grateful to have them there. We love having them close by and we are grateful for all they do for us. Now we are able to get them sealed to us and then blessed which we are planning on doing Aug. 16th (our anniversary!) Here are some pictures on this wonderful day!

The long wait before we could go in



They missed their naps and still did so well!

It was such a neat and exciting day, thanks for letting us be a part of it!! And boy do I love those little boys!! You are so sweet chandra thank you for your comment. It is so nice to have a friend like you and also nice knowing that you will always be part of my life. It seems I make good friends and then either they move or I do(I am so bad at keeping in touch). So it is nice to think that when the day comes that we will not live by each other, that at least I will get to see you once or twice a year. I love you for being you and an awesome friend and sister in law.
