Dancing on the Edge

Adoption Day Is Coming!

Friday at 2:30pm we will be standing before the judge and then Dakota will be forever more baby K's legal parent. If you are in the area, please feel free to join us in celebration.

I took the kids to the mall this morning for pictures of baby K in her adoption outfit (Cristin: this outfit happens to be the beautiful little dress you sent - she has now worn it three times, it will be four on Friday, and it will then be placed in her keepsake box. Again - thank you SO much for sending it!). The girl is nothing like her camera hound brother was at this age. She is so sullen and the photographer and I both were working up a sweat trying to get her to at least *look* happy. What a struggle!! You'd never know she was such a happy little thing away from the camera.

Of course I had to get one of the poses where she looks completely not amused. It's just SO her when she is in that particular "mood"!! :) I also got the packet of poses where she looked happy - I can't have the family thinking she is an unhappy little thing, can I? :)

So Friday is it. The cool thing is this is costing us a fraction of what K's adoption cost us (law school really IS paying off!) AND it took only two weeks from the day we filed the papers until our day in court and yes, that includes the home study and report that the social worker had to write up.
