Readoption Day !!!

Yesterday was our Readoption day for Christian. He is now officially Christian Joseph. YEAH !! The day could not have been more perfect. Christian woke up in the most pleasant mood, I swear he knew that it was an important day. My mom and dad and sister Missy came, Joes' mom, dad and Grammie drove up also. Mindy, Alec and Mikayla made the drive, and my friend Julie meet us at the courthouse. Our attorney was talking to us beforehand and told us what to expect, while she was talking I felt like I was going to break down and cry. I was SO happy, Christian was sitting on my lap being such a good little boy I think I was in shock that it was truly happening. When we all walked into the courtroom I think it took maybe 3 minutes. The judge was out sick so the magistrate held the proceedings. Christian smiled the whole time. We all then came back to our house and had brunch. Christian received lots of beautiful gifts. Thank you to everyone !!!!


WE LOVE YOU CHRISTIAN JOSEPH !!!!

Daddy this whole readoption thing has made me tired. Can I please just sleep right here???

HOME 6 MONTHS !!!!

I cannot believe it. Six months ago right around this time I was sitting in Christians' room in front of his crib while he slept crying pure tears of JOY!! I could not believe it, we finally had our son home, sleeping in his crib that I had looked at empty for months. I still cannot believe I can actually say we have a son. My heart is so full of LOVE for this little boy who has made our lives complete....

I am posting lots of pictures. We went to Boo at the Zoo with our group of friends who adopted from Guatemala also. It is so nice to get together with everyone. Thanks Mindy for always getting these meeting together. Wednesday I went to Mindys' to watch Alec and Mikayla. I had alot of fun playing with the kids. We also went to the pumpkin patch this week. Christian was amazed by the pumpkins, he little eyes lit up when we got out of the car. It was so adorable. Tomorrow we are going Trick or Treating. YEAH !! The holidays this year are going to be the best of my life. I think for the past 8 years I never thought I would have a child of my own to enjoy the holidays with, but I do, he is sleeping right now in the room next to me. Someone pinch me because I still can't believe it.....

I love this picture...
