Re-adoption in WA state!!!!!

Well, yesterday was another step along the journey to complete this adoption. We had our court appointment for re adoption. This is the state of Washington recognizing our adoption and now Lucia's name is officially changed, she will have a US Birth Certificate with her new name on it, a Social Security number and she is once again officially our daughter! Here we are with the judge afterwards. She let the boys sit in her chair they thought this was very cool! Grampy and Grammy got to come and celebrate with us!
I love this pic of us raising our right hands b/c it is very telling about every one's personality. Kinkade such a pleaser raising his hand extra high! Keagan - a little bit of "I do what I want when I want:) And mom and dad very serious about COMPLETING this process!

When Keagan and Kinkade were asked by the judge how it was having a little sister . . . Aaron and I held our breath. Because we knew who would answer and it would be either charming and creative, or extremely embarrassing and outlandish. Keagan has his own way of saying everything, and it is NEVER the predictable answer.

Keagan answered "Well, it is a lot louder, a lot sillier, and there is lots of pulling hair and our house is filled with raspberries noises all the time."

As I watched the clerk type away, I guess it could of been worse. Maybe we should of practiced that response. Here are some family pictures at the Court House. To say the least it is a little difficult to get a family picture. Lucia is in a stage where she loves to grab faces and it always turns into a wrestling match.

First she attacked Keagan!

This one she has Kinkade by the hair!
Full on attack for Kinkade!
Back to Keagan. . .
Hey maybe we got one, oh no. . . look at Keagan's hand. "Now I will eat my mom."

One more step down. Good thing she is so worth it and we would do it all over again 100 times for this fun, energetic, exuberant little girl! Thanks for checking our blog. It is turning into Lucia's baby book.
