COURT DAY....
Court is all over. The boys are officially ours!!!! After two nerve wracking hours of court, it is all over. Jeff did most of the talking (thank goodness) and he did an excellenct job. Lots of Questions but nothing unfortold happened. I think the judge really wanted to ask " Why on God's green earth do you want 5 kids". But she just smiled and wished us luck. We are so relieved. Looks like travel date are slightly different from what we were originally quoted. We will leave again on 4/25 and return home with the boys on May 6 if all goes well. Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers, we felt them all. We do not leave St. Petersburg until tomorrow evening so we will have some time to explore the city tomorrow. See you all on Sunday and love you tons. J&J

FANTASTIC!!!! We just knew you both would do well in Court, just glad it is now official. We are sad that it will be a few more days than anticipated before the boys are home, but from the pics. it looks like they both are being well cared for now. What a wonderful Mother & (Grandmother) present this year. We are so blessed. Hope Jeff is feeling better & you can relax and enjoy the day. Bet you will be pinching yourselves & asking, Is it real?
ReplyDeleteLove & prayers for a safe return.

Hi Guys: We are all doing well here. Horses, dog, children, etc. Even Nina!!! Have Devon down for an early nap since she has been up since 5:15 but this should work well with the haircut schedule. Glad all went well in court. Look forward to seeing you on Sunday. We are having dinner here early afternoon so that Jacquie can get on her way. Will have plenty of leftovers. Love you both.
