Well we finally had our day in court! After much waiting and worrying and yelling at Jeff for not finding out what all the hold up was about.. we finally met before the judge. Funny how anticlimactic things can be.... Just as we got to the courtroom... after waiting a long time to get thru security check points, Emma announces she had to go potty. So Jeff took David and went on the courtroom, by the time Emma was done (and had her hair re-brushed, and her barrettes re clipped, her dressed straightened...) we rushed into the courtroom. and the judge had already finished talking to Jeff. so it was a quick swearing in. answering a few questions. okay i started GUSHING when he asked do we swear to love these kids... and voila that was it. huh? where are the balloons? where is the string quartet? where is my big moment of AHHHH it's over? nah, it was two minutes tops! the judge had already approved all our petitions, so this was just a formality for my sake. Hey I'm not complaining.. it could have all gone horribly wrong!!! but it was sweet and we took a few pictures with the judge.
