It's Official!!!

In the eyes of the law, we are now Essie's mommy and daddy. Our hearing this morning went very smoothly; the judge came in, talked for a few minutes and granted the adoption petition. We will have a new birth certificate in a few weeks. After the hearing, we all went to lunch. Here are a few pictures from the day. The first one is of the judge giving Essie all kinds of kisses :-) I love the last one of Essie and Uncle Benny playing in the mirror!

Was so sorry I couldn't be there for the big occasion - you are blessed with such a beautiful little girl. Thanks so much for sharing the pictures.
