Lord, what a great few days! What a smooth and painless court appearance. June 30, 2008. You started a new lineage for the boys---HALLELUJAH!
The court experience had God's hand all over it. We were able to go down to Brownwood on a Sunday and stay at a family friends lake house. My brother, his wife, and their little boy came with us. We spent the day jumping into the lake and playing around. It was a great day!
We waited in the hallway of the courthouse for about 15 minutes before being called in. As we walked into the courtroom the Judge (who is known for loving adoption cases, saves them for the end of his day, and makes sure to take pictures with the new families) said "these people look alot alike." [I never get tired or hearing that!]
It was a simple procedure, swearing in, agreeing to take care of the boys. The kids got to sit on the bench and we preoccupied them with a kleenex box. We were so blessed to have my brother there to take pictures for us and to have all three of them there to support us. (They apparently got teary eyed but it was too much of a whirlwind for Chad and I to even think to cry!)
We topped off the day by stopping to get a much needed Spiderman cookie cake. The ladies in the bakery loved the brief version of our family story. Then off for a nice lunch.
I thought I looked pretty awesome for laboring 50 pounds of kid!
