Today was a very special day for Madalynn & I for 2 reasons.
Firstly, today is the day Madalynn has been with me longer than she was without me... I call it crossover day.
Secondly, after 1 year, 8 months, 3 weeks, and 5 days her adoption is FINAL!! We went to the county family court house for Massachusetts to officially recognize & finalize the adoption.
IT IS DONE!!! I had tears in my eyes this morning when I got her out of her crib, and said "Today's a special day".
The judge, and clerk were just wonderful. The judge said this is the best part of his day, and probably the only family he would see today that was smiling. My parents, and niece Jessica went with me to see it made official.
Then we came home for a nap, and my Mom, Jessica, Madalynn & I went to a charming restaurant that I used to go to as a child (their rolls are pecan sticky buns & corn fritters....YUMMY). It's an Old Mill that was powered by a river so it's got the water wheel, covered bridge, and ducks to feed... it was very nice to just stop and commemorate this special day.
This was a barn we passed that I just HAD to have a picture of...
And when we arrived home these beautiful roses were on my doorstep from my parents... 1 dozen red, with one pink in the middle...
