We had a great morning. Emma is officially a Riggs. The kids did such a great job. We did have a crazy morning and we were late getting to the courthouse. We were supposed to be there at 8:45 but we were about to leave and none of Sam's back dress shoes fit. We ended up changing his clothes and that put us behind on time. We got to the courthouse and there was not anywhere to park so we had to park kinda far away. We got into the courthouse and found where we were supposed to be and we found out that we were first. So we went over a few things with our laywer and then we went before the judge. Emma laid her head down the whole time. Our friends the Lewis' have a son from Korea and their daughter, Rory, came home two weeks after Emma so we did our court date the same day. After the hearing we went outside and took some pictures. Emma was not very happy about taking the pictures. It was also very cold outside. We then took the kids by McDonalds for a biscuit and we had to get the tags on van renewed. We came home for a few hours and we are headed out again for more appointments.

It is always hard jumping back into a blog post because there is always so much that has happened since the last time that I posted. We have had a pretty major change in our family in the last month, but there is another sort of change that has inspired this post this morning. I cut my hair yesterday. I know life shattering isn't it? I know it seems so trivial, but the truth is the Lord revealed something to me that I have never really thought about. I love my hair. We have made some memories over my 39 years. It actually started the moment I was being born and the doctor told my mom that I had a full set of black hair. Given the fact that my brother and sister who came before me were both bald headed, I think my mom made a comment to the doctor about if he was sure I was hers. My very first compliment was about my hair! I lived my young life with nice thick hair. Sometimes it was long and sometimes it was cut short. My Pawpaw used to call me Pete Rose because I had the bowl cut ...
How long did the adoption process take? My husband and I started the process over a year ago, then I got pregnant, and now we are at it again.
