I finally got some pictures from our court finalization. My friend was wonderful and came to take pictures of our special day, but we both have been so busy it took a while to connect to get them. Thanks Ann!



There isn't much to say about the entire process. We sent a bunch of paperwork in and then we called for the court date. We planned it for when Grandma would be visiting from OR. We got to the court house early because we didn't know what traffic would be like. Since we were the first family to sign on, we got to see the judge first. It was so great to not have to wait all day.
We went into the courtroom and met the judge. He went through all of our paperwork and asked us several questions for court record's sake. He was really a funny judge and made jokes a few times.
At the end we got to take pictures with the judge and the boys even got to sit on his bench. Shella May didn't want to go up.
So now I proudly introduce our little girl: Shella May Marie!!
