Just For You Auntie Jill!

Yes...yes...I am a bad blogger. But I actually have some excuses this time. Do you want to hear them? Okay, I will spare you all the details, but our desktop computer has died and I have been working off the laptop. I haven't installed any photo software yet on the laptop so I haven't been able to download any photos. However, I PROMISED Auntie Jill today that I would post an update on the blog. So here it is, the photos will come later.

So I'm sure you are wondering why it was so important that I update the blog today of all days. Well, Wed. March 11 was a very important day in the Huff family. This morning we went to court to finalize Maggie's adoption. IT'S OFFICIAL!!!! Maggie is now legally our daughter...yea!!! Yes, I spent hours searching for the perfect outfits for Maggie and Benjamin, we woke up extra early to get ready and look beautiful (I swear....I will post photos soon!) and rushed down the the courthouse. In attendance were Nate, me, Benjamin, Maggie, Grandma McCurdy, Grandma Suzy, Auntie Jill and Auntie Eli. Thanks to you guys for sharing our special day with us!!

We waited a few minutes in the hall, then we waited a little while in the courtroom. Lucky for us they went by age (youngest going first) so we were first to be lead into the judge's chambers. It took all of 2 minutes to complete the process (always surprisingly anti-climactic) and then we were rushed out with our paperwork! Lastly we all enjoyed breakfast at The Pancake House. I can't believe it's actually over. The only thing left to do is apply for Maggie's Social Security card. I'm sure THAT will be fun!!
