MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I'm so excited and thankful that Danilo and Maysa are home forever and will be celebrating their first Christmas with Devin and I this year.
We will go to Grandma and Grandpa's tonight to celebrate Christmas with aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Then we will return home and wait for Santa...I can't wait to see Danilo's face on Christmas morning!
I wish you all a wonderful Christmas!
My heart and thoughts go out to all of the adoptive parents who are waiting to bring home their precious gifts from Guatemala!

O' Christmas Tree....

Christmas is just around the corner and I have so much to get done, but just don't feel like doing it at all!
I use to have all my shopping done and wrapped by the first weekend in December, along with lots of baking and decorating the house...I didn't even put lights on the house this year!
Going from one to three kids in a year has been a big change in my life. I'm so thankful to have my children home but can admit I'm emotionally and physically exhausted!
Well... at least we have the tree up and it's beautiful!

Yeah......for re-adoption day!

Danilo and Maysa were re-adopted today under the Iowa adoption law. The hearing went great and now off to more paper work...I have to wonder if the paper work and fees will ever end...ugh.
Now I will be getting them each a US Birth Certificate with their legal name change along with their Social Security cards...gotta have that for taxes.
Maysa is already a US citizen, but I will have to submit for Danilo's certificate of citizenship.
It was a great day!
