It's official!

(not the greatest pic)

We are officially Josiah's mom and dad! Yesterday we had to go down to the courthouse and make our adoption final! This picture was taken with the judge that pronounced us as Josiah's mom and dad! She was so sweet! She wanted to hold Josiah - she said that the adoption finalizations were her favorite time of the day! (she had been doing criminal cases all morning)

In other news, Josiah turned 5 months old yesterday! I will be posting about that probably tomorrow. Josiah had to get a shot yesterday that they didn't have at his 4 month check up so he is not a happy camper today!

90 miles/hour

Do you ever feel like your brain just will not quit going 90 miles per hour?! That is how I feel the last couple of days. I feel like I have so much to do for the Holidays! Every year I tell myself that I will not wait until the last minute to finish up shopping....well, what did I do this year??? WAIT till the last minute!! Josh, Josiah and I went out yesterday and got a lot of our shopping done. I know shopping with a 4 month old...CRAZY! But actually he did really good! I still have a few more things I have to buy, but at least I know what I want! I still don't feel accomplished though because most of my gifts I purchased online, so I don't have them on hand yet. Hopefully they will get here soon!!!!

We have our Growth Group Christmas party on Wednesday and I can't wait! It is a "tacky sweater" party. Josh and I went to the Goodwill to try to find a sweater but we never found one. We found a few sweaters at other places but I refuse to pay $15-20 on something I will wear only once. We were at Target and we found the "perfect" thing to wear! I will post pictures later this week!

On a different note......TUESDAY is going to be the BEST day EVER!!!!! Our adoption will be FINAL! I am so excited and I can't wait for the judge to pronounce us as his parents!!!! We don't need the judge to tell us that but it will be official then!

Well, I hope everyone had an awesome weekend! We have been super lazy today and are just watching football (my favorite thing! --sarcasm)

Christmas Cards

Trying to get a cute picture of Josiah is not HaRd...but trying to get a really good one to put on our Christmas card is hard....I took several...here are a few that did not make it on the card!

He is just so stinking cute! I can't wait for our first Christmas as a family!!! Hopefully Josh and I will get to finish up our Christmas shopping this weekend! Every year I say I am not going to wait until the last minute, but here it is 2 weeks away and I have tons of stuff still to buy. Oh well!

Happy Baby!

EAGLES

Sunday we took Josiah to his first Philadelphia Eagles game here in Atlanta! I was so impressed how well he did! We went with Matt, Amanda, Mike and Katie! We had a great time and can't wait until we get to go to another one! They won so it was even better for Josiah's first game!!!
