It's Final!

Well, it's been awhile since we updated the blog, so here are the highlights from the last month and a half. More pictures will follow soon...we promise!!!

The picture below was taken minutes after our son's adoption was finalized!!! Our attorney encouraged us to have as many family and friends at our home to witness the finalization! And that is just what we did. We were sworn in by a notary (our good friend Rachelle) and then our attorney and the judge asked us about 10-15 questions......our families were able to hear everything with us because we had the phone on speaker. It was so awesome that we could have them with us to help us complete this process. Tears of joy, lots of laughter and hugs all around were in order!!! The judge invited us to make an appointment with her the next time we are in the south to get a picture taken with her. We are going to do this in the late summer.

Offical family photo!

Baby Mac fell asleep in Papa's lap throughout the entire proceedings...He woke up about a minute before the judge signed the last paper she needed to make him officially ours!

enough said!

Grandma Jayne on Easter afternoon got caught! She wanted to have her own "Spish" moment since she saw the other ones in earlier posts! It made her day!!!

We call him our "baby buddah"

Love the look in his eyes. Is it surprise or fear or fun?!?!

1st SWIM!!! He loved it!!!

Moments after he was put in a pool for the first time! He loved swimming with Casie and Cara!

I love this picture of Cara and Zane! She was such a good helper to me!

Thanks Cara! U da queen!!! LOL!!!

This is the first picture of Keele and Zane together! Keele is 5 weeks older than Zane! They are sitting on Pop Pop's lap (Keele's grandpa and Zane's Great uncle). We keep saying that Keele it teaching Zane everything! He started babbling after this weekend when he heard Keele! It was hilarious.....she was talking and zane just looked at her.....we got home and he hasn't stopped since!!!
