This little guy is officially ours!
Aren't they cute?
We went to court today and went through the official proceedings.
The people who are not familiar to you are the judge and the lawyer.

Such interesting questions that the lawyer asks: mainly to me and then they ask Mat if he heard, and if he agrees. Some of the questions I was asked were:
- If the baby has been in my home six months
- If I am at least 21 years of age and ten years older than the child (ha, ha)
- Are we (individually) capable of providing (emotionally and physically) for the child
- If Mat is willing to agree to the adoption (like it was all my doing!)
- In the event of divorce or death, that we are still to provide for this child
- Do we feel like we have established a bond of love and affection for this child, and other such interesting questions.
A picture of our happy family!
Afterwards we went to a well known local restaurant and had
THE SINK.
It was great fun. The adults had lunch and the kids gorged
themselves on ice cream. This thing must of been at least
ten inches tall with ice cream and toppings.

They ate and ate and ate........
and then they were sick.....
yet they kept coming back for more, and eventually
resorted to eating strait out of the sink!
They never did finish it completely but they sure enjoyed themselves.

It has been a great day. We look forward to this weekend when we
are able to take Isaac to the temple and make him eternally ours.
