Goldilocks!

This morning we got up early, had devotional time, ate breakfast and hurried out of our house to another house- the courthouse!
Today is the day we adopted Baby Girl. To us it felt as though she was already adopted. We arrived there and waited for our turn as the anticipation grew. It was so neat to be there and hear the judge say that she was legally and completely ours!
After she was adopted, we went to the mall and had her ears peirced. I know that most people would think she would hate that and it would just make her cry, but she actually has been asking for earrings for a while. When someone has a pair of earrings on she says, "Oh pwetty eawings!" One time Kiki received a pair of really cute earings from a friend who makes jewelry, and Baby Girl tried taking them. Then when she realized she couldn't wear them, she tried hiding them!

That was Momo talking. She started the post and I'll finish it.

Now, in honor of her adoption and real name change, we're changing her name on the blog too. She will now be known as...*drum roll please!*...Goldilocks!

So, anyway, after we had her ears pierced (oh, and if you're wondering- no, she didn't cry very much. She did a little bit at first, but after she saw the earrings and had a candy all the tears dried up ;-]) we went to Peter Piper Pizza (a pizza place with lots of games) to celebrate. Unfortunately, I felt pretty sick and didn't get to play. My favorite game was broken anyway...

And to close, here we are at the court house just after the adoption!

Thanks for all of your kind comments!

We are so excited that she is officially ours, but really it seems like she's been one of the family for ages!
