… something to write home about.

As you may have heard, we have been in the process of adding to our family and, as of Tuesday, April 15, 2008, at 11:43 A.M., we have a new boy in the family.

Ain’t he cute?

Since it was more formal (in a legal way) than our first boy’s adoption, we were sworn in by the bailiff (including the Boy) and both the baby’s attorney and our attorney were there along with our DCFS case worker. Lots of my family were also in the court room.

We gave our testimony to the judge and the the boy held his new baby brother, who laughed and made faces, enough so that we think the judge was laughing as well. The boy gave his testimony and had a bit of a chat with the judge; the judge reminded him of the duties of the eldest as the judge was also the oldest kid in his family. By the time it was done, my mom and aunts were crying a bit but it was very nice and all.

Plus, it is OVER.

I tried for several pictures with my phone to get a decent picture of the new little one after the hearing but he was wiggling about and wouldn’t hold still. This is as close as I could get to a non-blurred picture. Others in the group took pictures but I haven’t got them yet so this is as good of one as you all get right now. It is also the last time he’ll be in that vest as it fits him JUST RIGHT and at the rate he is going it won’t in a couple of weeks.
