We woke up pretty early to get ready.
Granny kept Journey entertained.
Aunt Jen did a shift of baby-entertainment, too.
Journey and her “little” brother, Bill.
Grandpa Gene helped Nani get ready.
Then we all got around to head to the courthouse.
Milling around in the hallway by the judge’s chambers.
Journey and our social worker, Jennifer.
Journey got hungry before the big event, so Susan fed her some string beans. Can’t face a judge on an empty stomach, can we?
The hearing. That’s our attorney on the right and the judge behind the desk.
Judge Ruest signing the order that makes Journey all ours. I knew there was a reason I voted for her.
All smiles now, but during the actual hearing we were both crying some.

Even Journey looks a little relieved that it’s over.
Journey and her Honor really hit it off.
Can we talk?
Journey and our attorney, Denise Bierly.
“Two judges walk into a courthouse…” Bill started the joke but didn’t have a punchline, still it was the funniest moment in the judge’s chamber.
Journey and Granny in the judge’s chamber.
This is serious business.
The happy parents outside in the hallway again.
All the family. Thanks for all the support guys!
Journey says good-bye to Jennifer and Denise. Thanks for all the legal paperwork, guys!
Journey was thirsty at the lunch after the hearing.
And then we finally hit the pool for a little R&R.
PawPaw with his two precious granddaughters.
And the dogs couldn’t be more thrilled.
And at the end of the day, Grandma Marie fed Journey her dinner before she was tucked into bed.
