Milestones

Today is a day of personal milestones for the Mister and me. The first is that our nephew is now officially our nephew. My sister and her husband, who live a couple streets away from us in Higley Groves West, finalized the adoption of their son today. He's been with them nearly all of his three years of life, but it took this long to get through the system. Here he is, waiting patiently outside the court room:






When he first saw us, he ran up and said, "It's my adoption day!" This is all more precious because we're rather certain he has no idea what it means, other than he's the center of attention, and he gets presents. Here he is with the judge and the rest of his family (including a baby brother that will be born in December):



By the way, I've never mentioned it before, but if you ever want to see a picture a little closer up on this blog, you can click on the picture itself, and it will enlarge it for you.

The other milestone is that The Mister and I are celebrating 26 years of marital bliss today. I am incredibly blessed to be married to this man, and have loved being enveloped by his family.
