Finalization

We have finally, after 9 months of waiting, finalized the adoption of Miss Emmy K!! The judge was not sick and it took all of 10 minutes in the courtroom answering general questions and that was it. There were several families there to finalize and it was great to see them all so happy too. A local group called the "Linas Club" makes blankets for children and the court had some in the courtroom for all the children who were adopted on that day. We got to pick out a Strawberry Shortcake blanket for our little girl. We did get a few pictures, but the computer has died again...if it ever awakens again, I'll post some pics from our court-day.

9 months (& Happy Easter!)

Emmy K is 9 months old today! Emmy celebrated Easter today with mommy, daddy, Uncle Q, Aunt Jamie, and cousins Jayden & Jarek. We hunted Easter eggs, ate candy, went to the park and had a nice nap in the afternoon. What fun!! Em is still getting icky ear infections, so we are seeing the ENT doc tomorrow to talk about tubes. Poor baby....but I'm sure it'll be much better for her to get them. Emmy is not crawling quite yet, but after seeing how mobile her cousin is, maybe she'll start thinking about it. After WE saw how mobile her cousin is....I'm thinking "hold off a little bit longer!" HA! Emmy continues to babble up a storm, who knows what she is talking about...one of these days I'm sure we'll find out. She is such a joy and such a blessing, we can't remember life without her. See more cute pictures below.

Love,
