Mia's Re-Adoption & The Duck's Game

Yesterday was Mia's Re-adoption court date. It was a very quick appointment and literally took 10 minutes. The appointment was at 1:30pm which is right in the middle of Mia's nap so she was not happy during the hearing. She literally screamed during most of the hearing. I have it on video but am having a hard time downloading the video. As soon as I figure it out I will post the video.

This is the official Re-Adoption Picture- yaaaa!!! We are all looking at the camera :)

My friend Tenderly came to the appointment with her son and daughter. Both Kenzie and Landon were adopted through our county (they are biological siblings and were adopted at age 2 and 4) and I attended their adoption court hearing so it was cool that Tenderly was able to come to Mia's. My dad and my sister Cassie also came. Unfortunately most family and friends were working so they were not able to come but we were happy we had a little group there.

Mia was happy while waiting for the hearing but as soon as we went up in front of the judge she lost it. We forgot to bring her paci with us so she was exceptionally unhappy.

Taking our oath and signing some paper (not sure what it was for).

My dad, Mia and I plus the official adotion picture.

We attempted to take some pictures in front of the court house but as always, Owen didn't want to comply. Also, the sun was so bright I could hardly keep my eyes open. Anyway, I think one may be OK.

After the hearing we went to lunch and then we went back to the court to pick up the official paperwork. The paperwork just basically makes the California adoption official and they will send us Mia's birth certificate in 9 months to a year--uggg!! They sent the paperwork to Sacramento and they will generate the birth certificate in 9 months to a year. Oh well, at least we will get one eventually!

After picking up the paperwork we had to run a few errands and then we headed out to look at the cabinets we are putting in our kitchen. After fighting LA traffic we finally headed to the Ducks game that started at 7pm.

THE DUCKS GAME

Here is the crew-- Heather and Brian, The Boys (Jared and Brandon- their daughter Heidi could not make it) and then our family.

Mia spent much of the time at the game going up and down the stairs. She is actually getting very skilled at walking up and down. She uses alternating feet-- very impressive :)

Here is a cure video of Mia and the gang.
