Wake up Joanna TODAY is your Adoption Day!!!!!!!! As you can see she was thinking she should be Sleeping Beauty instead of Princess Joanna today :)
She was much happier by the time we made it to the lawyer's office a couple of hours later.....
Here are some of the others waiting for the lawyer so we could walk a few blocks to the court house.
It's a miracle- they are all looking and have smiles!!!! Awwww- are they not the cutest ever??? Love all of my babes!!!!!!
Joanna telling Daddy she loves him and can't wait for the judge to get this thing rolling :)
A little silliness going on.... Look at our oldest 4- so adorable!
Sarah (the young lady who works for us) and the girls waiting with smiles!!!!!
Looking out the windows waiting....
More silliness because that is how we roll.......
Hanging out with hugs :)
It's OFFICIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Joanna Faith Wright is ours FOREVER!!!!! Well actually she has always been God's, but we get to be her family here on Earth anyway!!!!!!!! :)
The judge kept the children captivated telling them all about his exotic fish in his office chambers....
Abigail - how do you feel about adopting Joanna??? :)
Hey, daddyo now you are stuck with me forever isn't that the best?
YES it is!!!!!
Mommy excitedly holding the adoption decree!!!! Joanna trying to grab it :) I think she wants to proofread it you know just to make sure it is all properly done.
Mommy, Daddy, and our baby girl together OFFICIALLY FAMILY!!!!!!
Eating at Chili's to CELEBRATE!!!!!!! Where in a couple of minutes we met up with Kati & Vicky too!!!!!
Joanna actually letting Sarah hold her. If you have been around Joanna recently you would know she has had a severe case of stranger danger. Which is great in that she is totally bonded to us :), but no fun for other people that really love her....that would listen to her cry anytime they came close :( She just had to make sure that no one would take her from her wonderful family :)
Joanna- you are sooo much cuter than the baby on the box!!! Here is your present what do you think? Of course you were there when we bought it.....and after the torture of not getting to play with it until today :)
Ok how many pieces does this thing have??
Hmmm.......is this a present for the big kids or for Joanna???
Ok time for a little cupcake complete with swirled pink and white icing, princesses wrappers, and crowns on toothpicks......
Hmmm....this tastes ok...
Let me see.....if daddy did a good job or not?
Yeah, this is pretty good.
Here is my table of guests......
Back to me.....I could really get used to this stuff....
I love the feel of it.
See how the frosting just squishes between your fingers.....
Check me out...
Oh YEAH!
Now it is really fun to make this mess and mommy isn't even stopping me!
Oooppppsss here comes mommy saying that I need a bath or something.....(don't worry I am only almost 8 months and really only ate about one mouthful....but boy did I have fun squishing it in my fingers!!!!)
I think I am just fine, but I like bath time in the sink anyway.... for all my adoring fans check out the cute baby chub on my legs!!! I am yummier than cupcakes :)
I finally get to play with my new toy.
Oh you push this and it makes music, and the balls start popping out...
I need a closer inspection.
Awww...look at me I am getting sleepy and I found a cuddle buddy!!!
These are my new friends who traveled over 7 hours out of their way to be with us today- just for my special day!!!!! Thank you sooo much.....you made my mommy & daddy sooo happy just knowing you would do that for us! Special love to Vicky & Kati!!!!!!! Can't wait to see you next month :)
So in case you couldn't tell my Adoption Day was AWESOME!!!! I mean what more could you want? I have my FAMILY, LOTS OF LOVE, SPECIAL FRIENDS, GREAT FOOD, PINK PRINCESS CUPCAKES, & A NEW TOY- LIFE IS WONDERFUL!!!!!! Hope your day was as fun as mine :) By the way tomorrow I turn 8 months....and soon my mommy will get around to telling you all my new skills!
