Nails

Okay, so my nail polish obsession has continued.  I had to show a picture of my "finalization nails".  I did them special for our court appearance.  Dedicated to Kennedy they look a bit heavy metal, but I was thinking more along the lines of angel of my heart.  I know it is cheesy, just go with it.

A big thanks goes to Nate for making me my own homemade light box for Christmas.  My photos have improved immensely because of it.  I may just start my own blog here at some point.

Finally Final

We are so excited to report that Kennedy's adoption is finally final!  We went to the courthouse on Mon, Jan. 23rd.  It was a very formal affair ending with the kids hammering the gavel and the judge giving Kennedy the bear she is holding in the pictures.  We are so happy to have all the paperwork finished.  Adoption has been so wonderful for us, but the paper pushing side of it has been quite a nuisance.  It was a really great experience and Carter insisted on wearing his suit (on which he was complimented by the attorney, the guardian ad litem, and the judge).

Happy New Year!

Well, it is officially 2012 and I thought I'd make my first New Year's resolution--to keep up with blogging.  I sort of took a hiatus through the holiday's because I have been wanting a new camera and wasn't taking hardly any pictures.  Luckily Christmas brought the camera I wanted and lots of other great stuff.  I hope you have all had a great holiday season and look forward to the upcoming year.  Here are some of the hightlights from the New Year bash.

I will post some catch up pictures, but I thought I'd go ahead and start with the now.  Here we are with our friend's the McRoberts at the Zoo on New Year's Eve.  We had a great time and the kids were actually up to ring in the New Year (Yikes!)
