March 4, Civil Affairs

Today was a paperwork day. We had our first breakfast with two toddlers, after being awakened by the 'morning person,' April :) Yes, we finally overslept. Kaeleb and Kambry slept all night - yeah! We met Rebecca at 9:30 and went to Civil Affairs to finalize the adoption. I must say, when the notary asked if we were satisfied with this child, I began to cry, but happy tears. How can I be so blessed?!? I am beyond satisfied. I finally have my son, and I'm never going to let go!

The first time April held Kaeleb, nearly 24 hours after we had him - good grief, what was I thinking! I just want to say how much I appreciate her. She took a million pictures yesterday and captured all the emotions of the most remarkable day. Thanks to her, we will have this day memorialized forever. What a trooper she has been, and a huge blessing!
After the finalization.
Two silly girls killing time before "Gotcha" at Lucy's.
Today we met another Lifeline family, the "T's for lunch at Cow and Bridge. Delicious!After lunch we did a little shopping. It's going to hit 84 degrees before we leave here, and I only brought winter clothes for the kids. They now have 4 outfits, and we'll walk the island again tonight after supper at Lucy's. I'm desperately looking for a baby carrier for Kaeleb. He only weighs 10 kilos, about 22 pounds, and I could so "wear" him. We finally got to skype the kids with Kaeleb this morning. Right now Kaeleb is practicing walking in his new squeaky shoes. Oh happy day!
