Kaylas big Adoption Day!!!!!!!!

This was taken after we got home! She is getting into the toybox. She is chewing on one of Alex's army guys!





She is such a happy baby. One of the witnesses in the court room said she was one of the happiest babies she has seen.


We took some family pictures after we got home from Court! This is on the side of our house.










Erik told Alex to give Kayla a hug. . . .and so he did! The funny thing is, Kayla loved every second!











THis was taken in the court room right after the proceedure!






L to R~ Audrey (grandma), Erik, Alex, Michael McNabb (Lawyer), Kristina, Kayla, The Judge, and Whitney!




Today was such a special day for our family! It is a relief to have the legal side our adoption complete. I never really worry that anything will happen but it nice to have it done. Today Kayla is officially Kayla Louise Peterson! Now we wait for the paperwork to come back and then we can have her blessed and sealed to us! Time to shope for a white dress! YAY! We love you Kayla and we are glad you came to our home to be a part of our family!

These are the days I get a lump in my throat because I want to be part of all the special things that happen to my family. The important part is it is done....She is ours, and we can't wait to meet her!! It would be nice to meet her before she has her first date!!!!
The pictures were great. Thanks for faithfully trying to make us feel a part of things while we serve 1/2 way round the world!!
