Maddy is just nuts about her Daddy
Courtroom #5 - Second Floor
Here Comes the Judge!!
It was nice to go before Commissioner Sinclaire for something other than recommendations to court about my clients regarding substance abuse, domestic violence, probation, truancy, etc. Wednesday Adoption Day is a Celebration for all at Durango Juvenile Court. Congratulations all over place!
It's official...Maddie is a Green...again. We just went to court and completed the re-adoption within the US. A celebration to be sure...of our daughter...and NO MORE PAPERWORK!! We all had to introduce ourselves...and Maddie said "I'm Maddie and this is Cheetah - hi judge!". I think what warms my heart the most is her love of all of us - when I see her tenderly take her Daddy's hand or say to my Dad "Come on Poppa"...I just melt.
Also...our little monkey had her doctor's appointment - now all caught up on vaccinations. She is 27 ginormous pounds and is 34 1/2 inches tall - HUGE huh? She's only in the 10th American percentile - but with Asian girls she's actually at the 57th percentile. Healthy as a horse and placed at the level of a 4 year old with independent living skills...don't we know it! Smarty pants.
George is really liking his new job. Smaller and more intimate which is great. And...we just about have our rental cleaned up - we are paining the whole thing ourselves...but after that it's done and ready to be re-rented.
And then...we'll just poop out :) With our DAUGHTER!!

Happy Adoption Day!
Congratulations! Such a happy day. Love the picture sitting behind the bench.
I know that it was a wonderful feeling to have that US final ruling. Such a big day.
Happy Adoption Day- Big girl.
Congrats! What a great feeling that must be- no more paperwork.....I love these photos of her...it is as if she knows exactly the meaning of it all!
Happy Gotcha Day! What a little treasure!
Hey Kelly!
Congratulations on the newest Green, again! I just love how beautiful and confident she appears to be. What a little treasure she is.
I have been meaning to check in with you...life is busy, but that is no excuse.
I am glad to hear that the teacher was written up. Maybe she'll think before she reacts. I often times think teachers don't realize just how much influence they have.
SO happy to hear that your husband has a new job that he enjoys. Doesn't it make life easier when we're happy with what we do?
Hugs my friend!!!

Happy Re-Adoption Day!!! This day doesn't ever seem to get as much attention as it deserves, but it sure feels good to know a second and final judge has placed their stamp of approval on the adoption and that it is official in the eyes of the US and your state. A birth certificate in English is also great to have. Congrats!!
