Wow...ok where to begin! My sister Michelle has had a sweet lil' foster daughter for the last two and a half years and finally on March 14th it was made official and Michelle was able to adopt her!! YEAH!! So Brock and I made the trek to Washington to be there for all the excitement. We had a whirlwind trip starting with a five and a half hour delay on our flight...ugh! 
We got in on Thursday evening and just unwound. Friday morning we woke up and went to the courthouse for the adoption. Tons of friends and family came and I don't think that there was a dry eye in the room. 
We ran around for the rest of the day getting all ready for the fun party at the meeting room that night. 
I don't think that I have ever slept so well in my life as I did that night. Saturday we slept in....even the kids were exhausted and slept in, so nice. Later all the family met up for lunch at the Rainforest Cafe for lunch. After a little convincing that the animals were all fake and would not come get you we all had a great time. 
After an afternoon of naps for the little ones we met back up again to let all the cousins "adopt" animals at Build A Bear. Again, so much fun! 
Sunday we relaxed a bit and went over to the Leals for a yummy lasagna dinner with delicious pies for dessert. And on Monday our last day in town we went over to mom and dads for breakfast. We had waffles with strawberries and whipped cream mmm. 
Then we took the trolley into downtown Tacoma and went to where else...none other then..Starbucks, one of my most favorite places. 
From there we went to the airport for an uneventful flight home. YEAH! 
Through all of this Greg and the girls were troopers and stayed home and kept things running. The only thing that they forgot...was the cat box. Ugh...how do you forget that! Ha ha! So anyway long story long we had a great time and we officially have a niece/cousin to call our own!
