This post is well overdue, but here are a few pictures from our "Happy Adoption Day" with Daughter of Purpose. In August, we finished up her adoption with the state of California. We had to go down to the courthouse and have an official court hearing. What this does is allows us to get Daughter of Purpose an American birth certificate. So much easier than bringing the Russian one with an English translation everywhere we go!.JPG)

Our "jury"--our kids and grandparents.

All the family (minus Nate's dad who had to work--bummer) plus the very friendly judge. He was so happy to do this hearing that he sat down on the other side of the table from us to go through the proceedings--not his official seat. He was so friendly to the other kids and guessed their names and ages accurately. We couldn't have asked for a nicer guy. Sorry the pictures aren't that great. The lighting was kind of dark.

You have a husband that was a lighting guy and you couldn't take better pictures? Honestly... ; )
I love that you girls are all color coordinated! Don't even try to tell me that you did not plan that!
