The flip side

I'm back at work, which helps put the world in more balanced perspective. So now some of the great moments that keep us going.

Adoption Day - July 19, 2011

What a great day. I don't know if I can describe the feeling I had that day. It reminded me of my wedding day: lots of excitement, a lot of nervousness, the relief it was finally happening after lots of planning. A few family members were there to celebrate with us.

When the judge brought out Rosie's file, which looked more like 5 Minneapolis phone books stacked one on top the other, Rosie proudly proclaimed, "I have more files that that." She also boldly asked if she could wear his robe, which he didn't allow, but he did let her sit in his chair and bang his gavel. She took the honor very seriously at first.

Rosie's face says it all in these pictures. She was adorable, the court proceedings went perfectly and then it was over. Enjoy!
