Finally
Yesterday came and went quickly.
Up at 5:30, up north by 9:45.
Into the courtroom at 10:30, out of the courtroom by 10:34.
Quick as that.
But still a huge, exciting, tear filled, love filled day for our family.
Because R is finally ours for good and forever! And so ends our adoption journey.
finally standing in front of the courthouse
our house busy at 5:30 am with excitement to leave
the church in front of the courthouse
how cool it is that the name of the church, in front of the courthouse where our family was made complete, was Bethlehem.
walking up the stairs to the court area
getting smiles from the people in the court area
the beautiful corsages that Miss Ellen surprised us with! One for each of us. This is a photo of what us girl's corsage looked like.
the happy tears on the way home
subs and chocolate milk for a special treat on the way home
phone calls of joy and celebration throughout the day
running into Aunt Shannon at Starbucks today
surviving driving for the first time in heavy rain :)

Art Fair and Classroom
Today was another busy one over here.
Woke up to fly through a shower and dad's saturday special- pancakes and eggs with sausage in them- to cruise over to the art fair.
Again... I forgot my camera.
Mini donuts, artists talking sales and tales, R running with his floppy hat to pet the llama, Mom and Mrs. R chatting under the tree on the corner just like every year.
Not even the light rain could ruin the sites of rows of white tents on a charming boulevard, lined with plastic and people disappearing inside them.
After perusing the pottery and looking at beautiful quilts, we said farewell and headed home.
Lunch was eaten, R put down for a nap, and my sisters and Dad and I took off for his school.
I remembered my camera this time.
As we pulled off posters and put things in drawers, music called over the speakers and the one able-to-be-opened window pushed in air. No one else in the sixth grade area. Just us.
M smiles after succesfully pulling down a tough poster. "I'm glad you're a teacher, Dad."
Dad smiles back.
L smiles, I smile.
Me too.
have a blessed Saturday and Sunday too.

Farmers Market
This morning my family loaded up into the big red bus and ran over to one of our favorite places to go in the summer.
Vendors lined the sloped-roof shelters. Cars whizzed by on the busy highway above. But below those shelters are smells of summer.
Onions, snap peas, homegrown strawberries, lettuce, flowers, and dirt.
The farmers smile as they set out their first harvests of the year.
As we perused the veggies, my mom says, "You should've brought your camera."
I nod.
The sites in this city tucked away under the interstate are beautiful.
City pretty.
Cars, smiling people of all colors, warm clouds up ahead, buses, and lots of chatter all around.
Next time. Next time I'll bring my camera. I say to myself as we load up and head for the Linden Hills.

praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are His. He changes times and seasons; He sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.
Daniel 2:20-21
