To clean or not to clean?

I cleaned out the vehicle the other day. The next time we went somewhere my son says," Who keeps cleaning back here? Your messing everything up." %]

Please support the "Adoption Tax Credit" petition in India

The government of India has this all backwards putting their animals above thier children.
Signing the petition above will help kids find homes that they so deserve.

Thankful

Thanksgiving has come and gone and we are still so thankful for all we have, this will be a great Christmas this year with our new addition home and fully a part of the family. We were getting some tree ornaments and I remembered that last year at this time I had bought a special blown glass elephant shaped tree ornament to hang up to include Sananda here even though she was still in India. We also had a wrapped package just waiting for her under the tree, when she came home in March, to open. She didn't know what to think about it then of course, it will be so much fun this year to have her be a part of us all opening gifts together. Are you ready for more pictures??? Finding our Christmas tree....

Mom, look, I can feed the bears!

Let's do some tree shopping!
Any over here?
How bout this one sis?

Here guys, come here, we found one! Where are my brothers?

We had a big week!

Not only did we finalize but also had Sananda's baby dedication the same week. Here is a picture from that day.
Here is a picture of her in the same cute outfit at our Harvest party in October.

National Adoption Month

We had big plans to celebrate National Adoption Month, some of them fell through, but the best did happen for us this month. We were finally able to finalize Sananda's adoption. Here are some pictures. The celebration after finalization. We looked and looked for about an hour for a new Indian restaurant that we heard had opened sort of close to us, but to no avail, guess it was only a rumor. We finally decided on Carlos O' Kellys, the food there was good too.

Us with the court judge. Love the smile on his face.
