Today is Family Day.

6 months ago today … on this very day, we were here, doing this. I felt them kick for the first time.

And now, 6 months from that day, here we are …

doing this little thing with the courts called ‘adoption finalization’. Imagine that.

The day we found out about our ‘court date’, I was standing at the washing machine, doing a load of laundry (I know, not very glamorous, sorry to ruin that image ;) ). I picked up a seashell … the seashell from that visit above & I was instantly taken back to that day. Our day together. All of us.

And then I started to cry as I realized our court date was scheduled for a court date six months from that exact moment we learned we were expecting twins. Some things you can’t plan.

We couldn’t be happier. It’s been a great family day. One that we will always remember.

 

“This is what we’ve always dreamed of. We have everything we’ve ever wanted.” Yep, my husband sure did say that. I love him. I love my little family.

 

 

 

* About half of these were taken by big brother. I love seeing things from his perspective. We have some pretty hilarious shots to document the day.

** 1st rule about Rewards Club, you don’t talk about Rewards Club (on family day, heehee ;) but yes, by all means you can start playing).

    Well….sounds like this was fun.  Tell Brian he looks so young!  Shannon is here visiting and we found ourselves looking at websites.  Umm…we even watched the video.  That’s what happens when you get old and bored.  :-)  Love you guys.  Kids look great.  Peace out…
