a big day....

"Today my day special,"  is what Mekdes declared as she rushed down the stairs this morning.  We had our final court appointment for the adoption today and we were all very excited!  Everyone was rushing around trying to get ready and out the door by 8:45am.  It was all going rather smoothly until...

1.  Mekdes got her hand shut in the car door--OUCH!!!

2.  Emme pointed out that I still had my slippers on as we were going through the metal detector!

So, we enter the court house for this glorious day with Mekdes crying and mom in her slippers--ha!  After these initial blips, everything went according to plan and our final adoption ceremony was complete.  Mekdes Hope Geary is now and forever will be a Geary girl and we are so honored to have her as part of our clan!!!!

Here we are with the judge and our friend, Ron, who facilitated this process on our behalf.  We are so grateful to him!
Can you see my slippers????  I think Judge Hull was questioning my mental and emotional stability!
