collin's nursery

we didn't have 9 months to create a nursery.  remember how we only found out two days before collin was born that we had been picked?  finally finish collin's nursery....6 months later.  we had a small budget for the room, but i am happy with how it all came together.  here are pictures of the little man's pad.

forever

on december 29, 2011 collin was sealed to us in the seattle temple. by far the best day of our life. words can't adequelty describe the feelings we felt that day. collin is ours forever. but we have always known that.

signed

we finalized collin's adoption on december 21, 2012. we drove to the court house, met our lawyer and stood before the judge. it was pretty cool. they cleared out the court room for our adoption. so it was just us, the lawyer and the judge. such a relief to know that everything is completed and finalized. special day.
