First Word Is.....

Well - Collin said his first word this week. He said Momma! He has been saying it for a while off and on but I was not sure if he knew what he was saying. However, the other morning when we went to get him up he looked at both of us then looked at me and said Momma. Kip wanted to mark that as his first time but I needed more proof. So, the next morning as I was feeding him breakfast he said it a few more times. How precious... he is growing up so fast.

I included some pictures from Collin's first hair cut which he had February 7 and also some pics from our time in Florida.

In case you were wondering, the answer to your question is no, I did not go with him to have his hair cut. I did not want to watch them cut off his curls. I understand he was looking quite unruly but I did not want to see it. When he was done he looked more like a little boy and less like a baby. I wish I could capture these moments in time and freeze them forever. Enjoy the pictures.

Collin's Adoption is Final!!!

Hello Everyone! Most of you know we went to court a few weeks ago to finalize Collin's adoption. We arrived early in the morning and were one of about three other families finalizing adoptions that day. We went before the judge and had to answer a few questions under oath and it was done. Pretty simple and quick.

They let friends and family come up to the front and be there with us! It was a sweet time and one I will never forget.

The next day we had a party to celebrate everything being final. I included pictures from both the court hearing and the party.

Although Collin has been ours from the beginning and we were not worried that anything would happen, it is very nice to have this last thing behind us. Every time I look at our son I see grace. To me, this is the perfect example of how God works all things together for good.

Enjoy the pictures!
