All Ours!

Exactly 8 months after meeting Rory for the very first time, she officially became a Lewis! We were able to finalize with the Riggs family, whose daughter Emma came home 2 weeks before Rory. Just like with Camden, I was much more emotional than I thought I would be, but it is wonderful to have the process officially over with and to know that she is really ours forever. We still have paperwork (it is never ending!), but all the major legal hurdles are finished.

We wanted to have a special day, but honestly real life was calling so we packed up and spent 2 hours grocery shopping and by the time we got home were exhausted. So we declared it a Pajama Day and spent the rest of the day working around the house. The kiddos both took a much-needed nap and gave the adults some quiet time. I got to relax, but Brian had to grade papers. At least he got to do it in peace.

Here are pictures from the day. None of them are spectacular because the lighting was horrible and we were in a hurry since it was FREEZING outside!

not seeing and shaking his hand!)

Does this give you any idea of her mood?

Brian's parents, grandparents, and my sister
were able to come after all.

No more!

Finally, a cheesy smile.
